Motor City Pickups 2nd Degree Black Belt with high-gain...

[firejack]

I re-recorded the rhythm track of an old song of mine with the 2nd Degree Black Belts installed in my Edwards John Sykes Les Paul.
The guitar is detuned to Drop B with a set of 012 to 060 gauge strings on it.
For those that are interested, the song is called The Ancient Ones and is my tribute to H P Lovecraft.

Laying in bed next to sleeping wife and can't find my earbuds.
Marked for later.

Dude that sounds awesome!! That has such a great Satriani vibe but heavier. I really dig that groove, tone, etc.

I'm still digging my 2nd degree BBs too. I've been using them on some recordings

 

[technomancer]

Sounds awesome, love the groove!

 

[hammered]

Kinda sounds like a heavy tuned down version of Crosstown Traffic in parts , very cool

Spanish Castle Magic...you may want to change that around a bit if publishing that. I'm sure that Hendrix estate has an army of lawyers.

 

[hstlaurent]

Awseome! Killer song!!

Ha! A friend of mine who's a Hendrix fanboy said the same thing. Said the intro reminds him of Spanish Castle Magic.

All good. I checked the tab for Spanish Castle Magic and whilst there's some similarity in how it sounds, it's actually quite different to my opening riff.

Plus the other 95% of my song (verses, chorus, melodies, solos, etc) aren't even remotely similar to SCM.

Cheers

I was just contemplating a new bridge pickup in my 13' R7 too...

What's the specs on the BB's? A5 mags?
