My band doing Were An American Band by Grand Funk. We open our shows with this. Alot of you guys have wanted to hear the Model G pick up in the NR Fenderbird and I finally have video of it ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvFX4GmKiYo
Sorry, YouTube is locking up for me so I can only hear it in segments of a few seconds. From what I can hear, sounds real growly in the low mids.
Awesome! Really inspiring playing.
Wow!
Sounds great Scott!
Nice vid of your band too :thumbsup:
Solid Scott!
That bass sounds GREAT!
Awesome TONE!!!
We are rushing a bit out of the gate but hey it's R&R. Thanks for the comments on the tone, I put a lot of time, effort and $ into it !
Here's another. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z918zxSX020
Great Scott, I've been waiting for it. Sounds sweet..
Wow Scott, what a big growly sound, nice playing also ;)
Maybe I've missed it, but what is the origin of that pickup?
KIller sound.
Didn't you mention that the model G would fit in a Greatdealz chrome cover? Got me thinking....
The pickup is a Dimarzio Model G and yes it will fit under a '76 Tbird cover from greatdealz. This one is not covered. Here is a picture of it, note the butt ugly creme color, I can live with it cause they sound so good.(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/2326845380083345702KEjiTE_ph.jpg)There is a model G installed in the neck position of my 2001 Gibson Tbird (The Butcher Bird) no potting or messy installation work the Model G is screwed in to the cavity floor and the the cover right over it. The height is not adjustable but things lined up real good no need for adjustment though I could put a little foam underneath to give it some.(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/godofthunder59/Charwithmytbird001.jpg)
Nice growly sound! Just the way I like it. In fact it does'nt stray far from Mel Schachers sound on the We're an American Band album. Good performance in the vid too.
Nice pull-off/hammer-ons on that Grand Funk tune, Herr Dasson! Did Schacher play those too? I never noticed.
AH, the music of my youth, played so well by Scott and the boys!!! ;D
And I thought you were a scholar and a man of thought ... Not easily attracted to bare-chest-thumpin' music? ???

That's the sound! Like the kid of a lion and a bear!
