Ash Mosrite: Hey Ho Let's Go!
Got a sound demo done this afternoon of the Ash Mosrite and its Entwstle X90 pickups. Now I know that a Ramones tune may not be the ideal material for a sound demo, but hey, it's what I play most of the time ;). Ths guitar was played through my Fender Deluxe 110 amp, with both clean and overdriven power chords. Overdrive is acre of a Joyo Crunch Distortion. I fluffed a couple of the chords (yes I can murder even this), so enjoy it (or not) if you dare!

Ash Les Paul: Sound Demo
Finally got a sound demo done of this beast in action. Unfortunately, it's me playing again, so no virtuoso performance ;). You'll just have to put up with it I'm afraid! The guitar is being played through a Fender Deluxe 112 amplifier with a Joyo Crunch Distortion pedal. It's feeding back to the bullshit, but hey - I like it! The song is "Mother" by Danzig - one of my favourite songs to play. Easy enough for me to get my fingers around (mostly) if you stay with the rhythm.
I'm certainly no great player, but I gotta say, I love the way this baby sounds. The Entwistle HDN pickups just scream - it's the hottest guitar I've ever owned in terms of sheer output. It was hard to sync up the original backing track with my playing so it's a little off. But hey, you get the picture. Let the flaming begin!!

Johnny Ramone Mosrite: Sound Demo
OK, so for those of you interested in how this punk rock icon sounds with its DiMarzio FS-1 on-board, I have done a quick sound demo. Please excuse the crap playing. The guitar is being played through a Fender Deluxe 112 amplifier with no additional pedals or effects other than the overdrive and reverb provided by the amp itself.
I'm certainly no great player, but I gotta say, I love the way this baby sounds. The DiMarzio has replicated Johnny's guitar sound really nicely. If only I had a Marshall head and cabinet to top it off.
It was hard to sync up the original backing track with my playing so it's a little off. But hey, you get the picture. It's punk after all - it doesn't need to be perfect. I'm loving playing this beast!

335 Semi-hollow Bass: Sound Demo
OK, so for those of you interested in how this semi-hollow beast sounds, I have done a quick sound demo. Please excuse the crap playing. The bass is being played through a Fender Deluxe 112 guitar amplifier with no additional pedals or effects other than a bit of reverb provided by the amp itself.
I'm certainly no bass player, but I gotta say, I love the way this baby sounds. Deep and booming, yet very clear and crisp. It looks so awesome, and sounds so good, I'm sorely tempted to make myself another one! I never knew how much fun playing the bass could be.
I've still got the headstock decal to go before I call this one finished, so hopefully that will all be done and dusted by the weekend!

Les Paul Florentine: Sound Demo
OK, so for those of you interested in how this beat sounds with the semi-hollow body and the GFS Dream 180 pickups, I have done a quick sound demo. Please excuse the crap playing. The guitar is being played through a Fender Reverb amplifier with no additional pedals or effects other than those provided by the amp itself.
In addition to the Dream 180s, I have added a bone nut, switchcraft jack and 3-way switch, CTS pots and orange-drop caps. The entire demo is with the tone all the way up.
I gotta say, I love the way this baby sounds. Quite a large tonal range to play with, and the light body fells great in the hands. It looks so awesome, and sounds so good, I'm sorely tempted to make myself another one!
I've still got the custom truss-rod cover to go before I call this one completely finished. Just waiting on some supplies from eBay!!

Les Paul Jnr Double Cut: Sound Demo
OK, so for those of you interested in how this little rocker sounds, I have done a quick sound demo. Please excuse the crap playing and the snare in the background. Unfortunately I forgot to turn the snare off before recording. The guitar is being played through a Fender Reverb amplifier with no
additional pedals or effects other than those provided by the amp
itself.
Remember, what you are hearing is the stock pickup straight from the Pitbull kit. I have added a bone nut, but apart from that the sustain and the tone comes from all stock parts. The majority of the demo is with the tone circuit bypassed completely so you are hearing the P90 in all it's glory. Although I added an orange-drop cap, most of the time it isn't even in the mix.
I gotta say, I love the way this baby sounds, and it really is a dream to play! That stock P90 really is a surprise. I really didn't expect the quality (and quantity!) of sound that this thing pumps out!
