velorush Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Awesome job Carfish! They sound aggressive but beautiful - very dynamic.

donner Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Hell, yeah! Grace sounds very cool and rocky, musically singing with a rounded, vintage voice, sensitively and well defined. But the first 8 sec. of Enola gave me sh-sh-shivers up & down. And I'm not an explicit fan of neck pickups, normally. Kudos to the player Chris Z Johnson.Will implant my set TOMORROW!
soli'd Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 That sounds really good. Is that your Ultimate on the recordings? If not, what guitar are these Shlabs loaded into?
cmatthes Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 I'm hoping to get some video from the festival gig from earlier today - Shishkov #0001 made its live debut..
DaveL Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Ted, nice work to you (and Chris the player) I thought those clips captured the vibeof the pickups. BTW: appreciated the workmanship of these, nice quality componentsand I dug how the creme rings perfectly matched the creme on the bobbins.
hikarateboy Posted June 21, 2015 Author Posted June 21, 2015 I am very lucky indeed to be able to do music with Z. He's always inspirational and supportive as anyone can be. Both of these were straight off the cuff and unedited so I am sure he will slag off the performance but it does give a great insight into his style and the sound of the pickups especially Grace. Notice how she can sound like a big single coil at times. I have never experienced that in a pickup ever. He is playing my Ultimate #0002 thru dare I say guitar rig 5 which I find is about as good a modeling plug as is out at the moment. We had contemplated using my hayseed 15 and some pedals but straight in was quicker and easier. The music in the background is the outro to a song that is part of a concept record called inflatable that I have been writing/recording with the lead female vocalist and keyboard player from the rock opera we were part of: dying to make it.
albacore Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Notice how she can sound like a big single coil at times. I did notice that - it seemed to move between single and bucker sounds. Intriguing!

carfish7 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Oh you sneaky, sneaky bastard.............but thanks for the props guys. These are really expressive pickups that do the "loud, round, single-coil" thing that I adore so much very well. I'm just bummed I missed out on the offering and that I'm likely to never own such a fine guitar. I WILL try and score a set of these pickups though!
bubs_42 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Your playing was fantastic, I cannot wait to here these pups in person.
devrock Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 That sounds REALLY nice. Wool love to hear it cranked through something like an EVHIII.
