PROGRESS!
Happy to announce that both the acoustic and electric records are creeping along. The acoustic record is basically recorded and I’m slicing it down (some of the takes are too long) and will, with Elliott Sharp’s assistance, choose the best ones and then do some EQing and mastering (again with Elliott’s oversight). No release date [...] -
Brandon Finley’s drumtracks…
I’ve started doing stereo mixes of the drum tracks so various people (TBA) can add tracks at home and send them back. I can do some of the macro/preliminary guitar work now but really have to wait until the tracks are more complete to do any detailing. Right now, we’re hopefully looking at about 10 [...] -
SO WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON WITH ALL THE RECORDS????
OK, here the state of things musical: the drum tracks for the next Haskett/Finley release are in the can. Various guitars,basses and samples are yet to be tracked but it is coming along. The Haskett solo acoustic record is likewise due to start tracking in the next week or so. Elliott Sharp has graciously offered [...] -
PRS McCarty
Unquestionably the best electric guitar I’ve ever owned. When I first got it I was so happy I called Paul and I was so happily worked up that he actually thought I was mad about something. It is just super sweet. Better than any Les Paul I’ve ever had. It really, really sings (even moreso [...] -
Kelly Dano
Rick Kelley from Carmine St Guitars made these. I generally don’t like playing with a middle pickup but this was such a bargain and so cool I couldn’t resist. It was also an incentive/reward for starting a new project. The string spacing threw me a bit but replacing the saddles with regular tele saddles did [...] -
The BROWN one
The BROWN ONE. This is a very sweet guitar. Originally it was identical to the other two CEs except that it had McCarty pickups in it. It’s a naturally sweet sounding guitar. Very bluesy and the lower output of the McCarty pickups compliments that nicely. But then I got a phone call…Fernandes offered to put [...] -
The WHITE one
This one is pretty much identical to the black one only white. OK, it’s not. It IS a 24 fret CE with identical electronics to the black one but it’s tonally and behaviorally a completely different beast. Paul initially resisted my wanting an opaque white finish because he said it wouldn’t allow the wood it’s [...] -
The BLACK one!
The BLACK ONE! This is my favorite. It’s been with me the longest and has quite a few miles on it. But not to sound too much like an ad, that’s why I love these guitars; they just get better and better as you play them. This one has grooved in like a perfect pair [...] -
Hondo Longhorn
This guitar is fantastic. The neck is 19 feet long and it has 68,249 frets. OK, well it’s actually only 3 octaves (as if that weren’t enough) but it DOES have a fantastic built in fuzz. Like the as-yet unpictured Black SG R-1, this one made the transition from Surfin Dave to Rollins Band and [...]
