Hi all,
I've just finished working on my band's new songs :

I used my favourite amps : a '70 Superlead I modded to 67/68 specs and a '67 Superbass clone (with "mustard" caps, piher and AB resistors and Marstran trannies)
Do hope you like it, alright !

Playing what used to be a Superbass clone, now more like a modified 12xxx through an upgraded 1960AHW.

I like your strat. Nice colours.

I like your playing as well but I think you should work hard on vocals.

Thanks for watching
You're right about the vocals but I must say I really couldn't sing that day, way too much boose and joints the previous night...and not enough sleep. I won't pretend I'm young again !
We'll be recording an album in november so I'm taking the singing stuff really seriously, I know I must work hard so I will

Wow, great tunes! I really like the feel/mood of your band's music. And of course, the 60's blues-rock aftertaste

Working on the album, dual amp set tup :
The top amp and cab is my live setup : Superlead clone (not really a clone anymore...) and upgraded 1960AHW.
The bottom amp used to be a 4104. I'm still working on it but so far it has a new OT (Marstran 50W "Dagnall") and a pair of cathode biased KT66. Preamp has split cathode V1 and bass tone stack, with 47n output caps. No presence but a "cut" control, and a PPIMV.
But I'll tell you all about it soon
