    Default A Couple of Fretters Meet (Tim and Warren)

    So yesterday (Friday) Tim drove down from St. Augustine to my house in Winter Springs (about 1 1/2 hours). What a pleasure...he is a really nice guy.

    The first thing we had to do was fix the input jack on my vox...the nut had come loose and the jack dropped down inside the amp (of course my son denied having anything to do with it although he was the last one to play it!) With tim's help i repaired it....the first time i had taken the vox apart.

    Once that was done we started playing some of the Blues You Can Use licks that we are both working on. Then we put in a jazz backing track cd and messed around with some lead licks. I had to leave tim a few times because i was working on a magazine that the client HAD to have on Friday...that wasn't in the plan...thanks for your patience tim!

    we played each others guitars and just generally had some fun. This is the first time i have played with another human and i enjoyed it.

    we then went to Ron's Music Shack and had a nice visit. We talked with Ron mostly about recording and different ways and units to record with.

    Afterwards we had some lunch and got home just in time for my kids to get home from school.

    The last thing we did was play around with garage band a little (and after some trouble) finally got a guitar track down and played with the different amp settings.

    All in all it was a fun day and we plan on getting together again.

    Here are a few pics (most of them taken by my son).

    Two nice teles meet, I bet that the twang-factor must have been high!

    Warren, I hope you tried the amplitube amp plugin Warren. Lots of great tube tone!

    Tim, how is the clean sound of your Tele. Does it still sound like a Tele even with humbuckers? Or do you get a sound more similar to a LP?
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    Super Swede – This Custom Tele has two HBs. The bridge has some twang, but it is a warm twang. I hope that makes sense to your question. Together both HBs make the tone I always enjoyed, warm, full and clean.

    Electric: Washburn HB-30, Squier Tele Custom Deluxe, Jay Turser Strat.
    Acoustic: Seagull S6.

    AMPs: VOX AD30VT, Peavey Envoy 110.

    Modelers: V-AMP 2, Digitech RP-100A.

    Pedals: Boss RC-2 Loop Station, Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble, Digitech Bad Monkey, Ibanez DE7 Delay/Echo, DOD VFX40B 7-Band Graphic EQ, Ibanez CS-5 Super Chorus.

    It seems like a really nice guitar Tim! You could always install a push/pull to split the humbuckers for that single coil tele tone. Lots of great options with that model!

    Well, some (but not all) humbucker pickups can be "split" so that they basically become a single coil (ie only one half of the humbucker is used at the time).

    There is some info on this subject here:

    Great you fretters got together! Great pics too. My first thought was, "them guys must not have several feet of snow and ice like we do." When are you guys coming to Canada to jam with me (in the snow)?
