Epi Double neck in da house!

[batsbrew]

what a beast to play!
but sounds excellent.......

borrowed from a friend, i'm not sure if it's ever been used on a recording before.
the EPI pickups, thru my rig, are very stout and midrangy,
which makes the tracks really stand out against all my other ones.


these shots are from a session for a song called "Road to Tabriz"......
i posted an instrumental version of it a ways back....

the addition of the 12-string made the parts i wrote for it sound a bit 'mid eastern',
which was the reason for pulling this axe into the mix........


so, when i first started dialing in sounds thru the boogie and speakers,
i was using some amount of gain..
but the more i played with it,
the more i realized it just needed to be clean.....
then it all fell together.

i currently have EL84's in the boogie (instead of the typical 6L6's) by way of an adapter,
and it gives the boogie a bit of a Vox voicing to it.....
so it really works for these particular tracks.


this song is one of NINE new tunes on a new album i'm putting out shortly,
called "Stay"

more info to come..................

Very cool. That should be a lot of fun.

[redir]

I've always thought it would be fun to have one of those. Is that one of those Studio .22 heads?

Better load a "Stairway to Heaven" track on here as soon as possible now. Can't have that without Stairway.

First thing I thought of was James Patrick Page when I saw this thread tittle.

I always think of Don Felder when I see one.

Right band, but there's a better song for that guitar

Page = Red

Felder = White

They are heavy to wear, I'd hate to use one for a whole gig.

Alex & Geddy



and, for me its Rik Emmett that comes to mind always (and my inspiration for 12-string playing)

[Trillian]

Blinding Light Show?? I know Rik had an Ibanez 6/12, but I'm pretty sure I've seen a pic of him using a white Gibson too.

All great players!

But if you really want to see a 6/12 get a workout, you ought to see THE MAN:

Yeah... John is da man... But a 6/12 looks almost wrong when you're tall enough to actually look normal wearing it

P.S. The video you posted should be linked in the "is it okay to vary tempo" thread... Great video that instantly put a smile on my face and got the brain chemicals JUMPIN'!

[BTF]

I love Mahavishnu, but as much as like the playing, I am in AWE of Billy Cobham! He could make a ukulele band sound phenomenal!

Strange how I never thought of how normal the 6/12 looks on Johnny...

Regards!
