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 !

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.

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.

Great Scott, I've been waiting for it. Sounds sweet..

PeterB · November 08, 2009, 05:44:11 PM

Wow Scott, what a big growly sound, nice playing also

Maybe I've missed it, but what is the origin of that pickup?

Lightyear · November 08, 2009, 05:47:05 PM

KIller sound.

Didn't you mention that the model G would fit in a Greatdealz chrome cover? Got me thinking....

godofthunder · November 08, 2009, 06:38:53 PM

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.

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.

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.

drbassman · November 09, 2009, 06:40:33 AM

AH, the music of my youth, played so well by Scott and the boys!!!

And I thought you were a scholar and a man of thought ... Not easily attracted to bare-chest-thumpin' music?
