I had a feeling you might.

Maybe you add a 50s butterscotch one day?

Heck, I may just build my own. Any monkey should be able to - as long as he's a very diligent monkey.

I yield to your "monkey grip", since it's not a bass...

De gustibus

I like lots of different kinds of music, but my least favorites
always have been the kinds played on electric guitars.

This is more to my taste:

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPYAZUcohmw>

The guy had a beautiful, warm voice.

Or, since that was a capella, perhaps something more like this:

<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfoHF-jYUy4>

Although the stuff on that album is not English folk music.

I cook some garlic in oil then do a quick stir fry with the
broccoli...only about 10 seconds. I don't cook the broccoli, I just
like to coat it with that flavored oil before adding to the pizza.
Cooking the pizza is what cooks the broccoli a bit...and browns it.

If you like Clapton you might like this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSbqm7ZK_9s

IIRC he wrote it after his infant son, Connor, fell from a 23rd storey
balcony. It's heartrending.

He does, and that is _very_ traditional!

You criminally STALK and ABUSE women, you sick little dwarfy man!

Here's what you did when you went all over the Usenet impersonating the
well-liked regular named "sf" and posting all her personal data on the
net against her will, including her:

* home address
* age
* cell phone number
* husband's name

etc.

YOU did that, you evil *******!

She should call the cops. I've already publicly admitted it is me so
a conviction should be a piece of cake and then forging would stop.
So what's stopping her? I think she suffers from Bovism - she just
loves the attention and drama and screw the rest of the group.

And before that you literally stalked poor Omelet, a local Auustin

Yes, it's kind of hard to listen to when you know what it's about.

Speaking of "grip" I find myself in a most ridiculous situation. I have
small tubes of denture material that is no longer made. The $7 tubes,
which I thought was overpriced, is now going for over around $140 a
tube. If I sell all the tubes, I'd probably be able to buy a Telecaster
plus a dinner at Morimoto Waikiki. Now that would be funny as all shit!

By all reports, Eric Clapton was a nice guy, and I'm sorry this happened to
him, but that doesn't make the song less agonizingly boring.

The first Tele I ever saw had a bridge cover. They are beautiful with the
cover on, and while the cover restricts picking near the bridge (most folks
don't do that much of that anyway, do they?), and adds a little extra work
changing strings or setting intonation, the Telecaster with the bridge cover
is so, so pretty.

Speaking of pretty guitars, I've got a nice one, and I'm sure that real
guitarists would think that some bang out 4 or 5 chord rock song hack like
me doesn't deserve to play one of these, but I have small hands, and in 1st
position the neck feels really nice.

If they made a little gold tone bridge cover for my Blueshawk, it would make
the guitar even prettier. Like this one.

Electric guitar bridges are ugly. Look at these Telecasters.

The telecaster bridge is a nice design that structurally makes a lot of
sense - it spreads the string loading forces over the widest area of an
other guitar bridge and has the mounting for the bride pickup. This was
a common practice with lap steel guitars. The cover provides some
electrical shielding for the early pickups which were prone to be noisy
from leaking transformer circuits and provided a palm rest for the lap
steel player's picking hand.

The cover proved to be impractical for guitar pickers and most of them
were pulled off right quick. I wouldn't want to play a Tele with the
cover on because that would pretty much mean I couldn't use most
dampening technique. OTOH, if I was buying a vintage Telecaster, the
original cover included would be a very good thing.

But later pickups made that so much less of an issue, and the after
market now?

Well....

A lot of the Telecasters sold these days still have pickups with a design Fender developed in the 40's. The pickups introduced by Gibson in 1957 were quieter, more fuller sounding, and stronger. The Gibson humbucker defined the sound of late 60's and 70's rock but I wanted a guitar to sound more like the Beatles and less like the Stones.

Those sound pretty good. Less tweet and more balls. They would be a good choice on a Tele - I think.

The sky's the limit as to pickups for Teles. Alumitones might work, although I don't think they make those for a conventional bridge install. I have used them on an archtop guitar but that extended tonal range is not something that I want on an archtop - on a Tele, however...

Fair point, to much tonal range on an archtop will lead to unpleasant
harmonics, iirc.

I wonder of that's why Fender chose not to use single pole pickups on
the f-hole Tele Thinlines?

I think those preceded the single pole models, but maybe not...

I'm going to bridge this reply to another one you may have missed, what
are your thoughts on:

Man, they can virtualize ANY thing these days!

http://www.gizmag.com/virtual-jeff-e...mmy-bar/41249/

The Virtual Jeff is not a mechanical vibrato system, but an electronic
one. Players use it like a traditional whammy bar, but digital pitch
control is used to massage the output for pitch-perfect, error-free
shimmers, dips, dives and squeals. It can be retrofitted to almost any
guitar, including acoustics and basses. "As long as it has a pickup (or
any kind of analog signal output), you're in business," say its
creators. Players could even have several instruments "Jeff-ready" for
quick swap-outs from one to another.

Details on what makes the Virtual Jeff tick are a bit thin on the
ground, but we can tell you that the device is cabled to a floor control
box about the size of a stomp. Signals from pickups on a host guitar are
registered, combined with data from the whammy bar unit, and everything
is run through a digital processor and then the digitally whammified
sound is output – all in real time.

"Virtual Jeff is a 'high precision' pitch controller," Peter Walker of
Fomofx told Gizmag. "This, at first, seems technically trivial, but a
simple analysis of what 'high precision' means in this context shows
that it's quite a challenge.

Very clean but a definite jangley sound.

Just super bright and even a tad trashy?

A fascinating pickup.

I wouldn't do an entire axe, but I can see using one as a go to for
certain songs.

It didn't suit my archtop because an archtop guitar should have a particular sound to them. As it goes, I don't want a wide range of tones on an archtop. It's actually a bit of a muddy, dark, sound.

The Alumitones are the most radical design in magnetic electric guitar pickup in the history of magnetic electric guitar pickups. Theoretically, they are the holy grail of magnetic pickups - low impedance, high output.

They do this by inducing current flow through a chunk of aluminum instead of coils of wire. They then use a small coil of wire as a secondary transformer winding for the output. This results in a very quiet, extended frequency range, pickup that is not going to get microphonic with age as pickups coils of wires can.

As it goes, most guitarists prefer their guitars to have pickups designed 50 - 60 years ago and the Alumitones are holy grails that was kind of a bomb in the marketplace. My guess is that it's going to take a little while longer before guitarists move into the modern age.

The way I remember it was the Fender wanted their guitars to sound more
like Gibsons so in the 70's, they made Telecasters with humbucking
pickups. It was a good way to increase the appeal of their guitars.

I had a Gibson Firebird during the 70's. It was a big ugly green guitar
with a harsh, unpleasant, voice. It didn't suit me but it would fit in
well with a young bluesman with an aggressive attack.

It sounds like a modulator wheels on synths. That's not a bad thing but
they should hook up that a guitar manufacturer that will build in the
unit and the digital/analog converters into their guitar.

Yes, agreed.

Pretty cool!

This results in a very quiet, extended frequency range, pickup that is not going to get microphonic with age as pickups coils of wires can.


I like that term. "microphonic" and you're right, as they age they tend
to pick up archives, remnant sounds.

> As it goes, most guitarists prefer their guitars to have pickups designed 50 - 60 years ago and the Alumitones are holy grails that was kind of a bomb in the marketplace. My guess is that it's going to take a little while longer before guitarists move into the modern age.


What are your thoughts on the Fender lace sensors?

Like a Johnny winter style, true.

This guy is familiar to me, have you shared a link with him before?

Hilarious, but has chops too.

Oh man, the licensing aspects of this are incredible, yes!

I have not played Lace Sensors but from what I have heard, it's an extended range pickup and a lot of players think it sounds "thin" and the output ain't that hot. The good part is that it's a quiet pickup.

The truth is that I don't play much electric guitar these days - but I'd like to. If I built a Tele-style guitar, I'd just stick in a couple of Alumitones and monkey with the tone capacitor and volume control pot. It's not going to sound like my Strat but that would be a good thing.

Bottom line with all this technical electric stuff....a good guitarist
can make *any* guitar sound good. All this tech talk sounds like a
bunch of bs from half-ass musicians to me.

You idiot - where would musicians be without technicians? I never said I was a musician anyway. OTOH, I agree that a good guitarist can transcend the instrument. I don't listen to guitars, I always listen to the player. OTOH, I want my guitars to be the best that I can make it.

It certainly is the quietest I have seen, yes.

Stacked to humbuck they offer a lot of tapping phase variance.

http://www.guitarcenter.com/Lace/Sen...74115044202.gc

The Lace Sensor Red-Red Dually is a humbucker pickup constructed from 2
Sensor Red single coil pickups for guitar tone without hum.

Lace Red Sensor pickups have a unique radiant Field Barrier system that
surrounds both the coil and magnets, reducing annoying 60-cycle hum. The
patented Lace Micro Combs replace traditional bobbins, yielding a wider
tonal range and better string balance than traditional pickups.

Unlike ordinary pickups, it generates 36 separate magnetic "sensing"
fields that, in the areas where they contact the string, "read" the
strings' vibration. (Regular guitar pickups only generate anywhere from
4 to 12 fields).

The Lace Sensor guitar pickup also has Radiant Field Barriers: metal
slides that frame the inner core of the Sensors and perform two
functions. The first is to shield the Sensor from the outside noise and
60-cycle hum. The second is to produce broader, yet more concentrated,
umbrellas of sensing field than standard magnetic pickups.

Less Noise, More Harmonics
As compared to standard pickups, the Lace pickup reads a greater
physical area of the string, while picking up less outside interference.
This makes the signal-to-noise ratio nothing short of phenomenal for a
single coil system. Also, a wider range of harmonic content is read by
the Sensor, delivering a more complex tonal response.

I get you on the alumitones, but adding a lace humbucker could give it
some real tonal flexibility.

But maybe you'll use:

Now you got my head spinning - too many choices. When it comes down to the wire, I'll know what to do. Maybe I'll stick in a pair of these. They currently reside in a 80's Takamine GX-100 guitar but they would be mind-blowing in an old-school Tele.
