Chris' Tele in all it's glory. Fantastic sound. Neck pickup in the middle section, both in other parts.

:mrgreen: What's wrong with (early) Black Sabbath? They were one of the first bands I learned bass lines for when I started playing bass. 8) [/quote] Me too. And there's of course the Yes connection with Wakeman playing piano and synth on "Sabra Cadabra" on "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath&qu...

Sounds right on, Pekka! My suggestion is that you could make a short clip for the Play For Chris video! Let me know please if you're willing to join us :) In any case congratulations for your playing! Miguel Thanks Miguel! I'm afraid I don't have the equipment to make a video and if I did I just do...

Squire's Fender also had a Tele control plate added above the stock one with two more knobs and a pickup selector switch, presumably to have the same controls as his Rick. Yes, I didn't want to go that far. :) To avoid routing any more cavities I just had a pickup switch added between the (now mast...

Cool looking bass,and it sounds really good too! Did you actually play all those riffs together (continuously) without dubs? That sounded very impressive! Cheers, Thanks, and yes I did. I had about half an hour to make that clip and to show of the Tele sound I was thinking about merging "South...

Not wanting to hijack Miguel's "Lucky Seven" -thread I put this clip here. I recorded some Squire riffs on my newly modded Telecaster bass just to show how it sounds played in that style. Or at least I tried to imitate Squire's style. Don't mind the riffs if they are not too accurate, I'm ...

Here's my Tyyster Telecaster which I just had modded with a bridge pickup. Inspired by you know who. :) The bridge pickup is a custom made SCPB, just a bit wider than the Seymour Duncan SCPB-1 neck pickup. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4322198/Teletyyster.jpg Sounds great, there's some Ric -st...

Finally remembered to dig out the 9012Live DVD last night, and it wasn't in there after all. I'll keep looking at my other DVDs as I know it was there in more modern times….unless he had a later production 4008? The one I recall was white with black binding on the body. I think he only had the prot...

I just finished listening to Rolling. Outstanding vocals and scintillating guitar. I have to believe that someone in the group likes the Byrds, CSN or at the very least David Crosby. It is easy to get swept away on this gorgeous tune. Yes, I like all of those and the singer/guitarist is a big CSN a...

Mike did play a Micro-Frets on "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway". He had a Baritone model (tuned E-E) which was then coupled with a Rickenbacker 12-string guitar for the live work. He also used it on "The Trick Of The Tail" tour and later switched to a Dick Night 12-string/6-strin...

I have only listened to the one song, so far, Pekka, but it sounds really great with some nice twists to it. :D Wonderful tone out of the Rick and your playing. Was the band, or a member of it, the producer for the studio sessions of the music? If not, amazing he/she didn't want you to use a P Bass...

Thank you very much!

The band I'm in released its second album yesterday and while this is a Rickenbacker forum here's one song featuring my 1991 4003. Recorded with the neck pickup a notch down, treble pickup full on and through Hiwatt DR103 w/EV 15" and Lab Series L2 w/EBSCL112. There's also a 12-string bass play...

Gettyimages don't like hotlinking. This might work. The first image on the left: https://www.google.fi/search?q=yes+fragile&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjCiL3DxrHJAhVCgA8KHUX5CA8Q_AUIBygB&biw=1366&bih=657#tbm=isch&tbs=rimg%3ACb2adpmC49QnIjiGl9rJzjp75S2YtdINwIL6FlN...
