Think of it as volume balance control between the two pick-ups. Turning it one way will give you more volume to the bridge and less to the neck. Turning it the other was has the opposite effect. Tone controls are not involved in this. They are set to the individual pick-ups.

The learning curve for me has been an interesting journey. Just for the record, the instruments being used are two guitars; a Gretsch 6119HT'62 as mentioned above for the lead, a Taylor T5 for the rhythm and a Korg Kontrol 49 midi studio controller for the other instruments which are bongo, cymbal ...

Thanks for listening Sheena and Tom.
Tom, thanks for the critique. The levels as played on a computer speaker system may not be as appealing as it might be, being played on a home stereo system. In other words, it just sounds better on a home stereo. If you are able, why not see if that is the case ...

There is a thread in 'Rampant Recording' that asks the question to 'Show us your Studio' which was started by Atremain (Alisha) where I first posted a link to this song that didn't work so well (you should go to that thread and 'show us your studio http://archives.rickresource.com/clipart/happy.gif ...

Hello gang, I don't know why it has a loading error. However I found that if you click the start arrow on the player, then right click where the picture is in the player and click 'forward', it will load. Sorry for the inconvenience.

As I was reading this post with the '4X75' theme attached, I couldn't help thinking that maybe the "4" would represent 4 models of guitars and basses that would be from different time periods. Say One guitar and bass per 25 years of Ric history. I wouldn't know what the first 25 years would ...

With the color of the '06 and the red not completely fading out into the center, in medium or low light, the center actually appears to be amber to me. I don't know if that is by design or I just have the right shading of light to make it appear that way.

Since this particular run of guitars has ...

How about a striking difference between old and new as in my '67 366/12 and my new '06 360.

The characteristics of the 60's FireGlo is the reason I, myself, would name the color 'FireGlo'. Perhaps this is why it was named this? Notice the edge of my 366/12...
