Troppo Sound

Belle Miners tonight at the Broome Senior High Theatre - what a gorgeous gig. Dylan Dauley kicked things off, a genuine talent and a good kid all round. Then the Belle Miners took it from there with soaring three part harmonies, tasteful musicianship, and just being really pleasant to work with. Big fan.

I did Daine dirty on the pictures - he's much too handsome to be left out completely, but I didn't have a vantage point where I could see the poor man. Very tasteful drumming from Felicia's shadow.

On the bench today: Rowin's goofy-ass Jazzmaster! P90 in the front, humbucker in the back. We've swapped the gold foil P90 into the Strat and brought this opal number across, which is darker in tone and a bit grungy, necessitating a change in tone cap to brighten things up, and since we had the thing open we've put a coil split in the humbucker.

I really dig the push/push action on the coil split. It's an interesting guitar. They say a Stratocaster can do anything but sound like a Les Paul, but I'd argue that neither a Strat nor an LP sounds quite like this thing.

This one isn't for sale, it's just engagement bait (and informing people that we do repairs and ill-advised modifications).

I haven't polished it, I haven't even finished stringing it up - I was having too much fun with the push/push split. Clicky clicky.
