April update Redux

Happy Easter all,

Had a busy week doing vocal sessions in various studios.

last Friday I was in RAK in St John’s Wood, doing backing vocals for a new artist. The engineer was Mark Rankin who worked on Adele’s smash hit 21 RAK was set up by Mickie Most who produced the second Yardbirds album Little Games recently re-released on Sundazed vinyl and CD!

RAK is where Radiohead recorded their second album The Bends (thank you Wolfgang for correcting me)

Yesterday I did a vocal session which morphed into a song-writing collaboration, at a great studio in East London called Rock Of London run by Steve Honest, who is about to commence work with hip-hop artist Da Brat, who will no doubt want to use this mic (Sony C-800G) – otherwise it ain’t hip-hop!

During his career as a session pedal steel guitarist, engineer and studio owner, Steve has worked with artists such as Culture Club, Billie Ray Martin and Dave Stewart, as well as many up-and-coming local bands. Honest founded Rock of London studio three decades ago to record “any and all” genres and is located in the Hoxton area of the city.

Monty’s Guitars – High Quality Guitar Pickups

I’ve been testing some pickups made by Matthew Gleeson of Monty’s Guitars, and just finished some vid clips for his youtube channel.

I must say I am blown away by the quality of these things… They are absolutely fantastic!

They have a really musical 3-D quality to them…  clear and toneful. Very responsive to the touch.

The singe coils are remarkable – a sparkly top end devoid of any “ice-pick” harshness. They are also remarkably noise-free considering they are single-coils. I’ve used them in rehearsal studios with strip lights –  the RF problem from these lights is notoriously bad, but thankfully somewhat diminished with these pickups!

The humbucker has that classic throaty midrange roar – nice and fat. The split coil mode sounds great too, slightly skinnier in the mids, and slightly less bottom end in a useful way.

I helped Matthew with  a little R & D on an alnico Telecaster set, and the prototypes I have in my 1989 Fender Japan Telecaster are more or less the same as Full Monty Tele set. 

I also have a hybrid Tele style guitar which has  a Monty’s humbucker in the bridge and Full Monty Strat pickup in the neck. Lovely tone! Matt will be posting the clips on youtube in the near future.Monty's humbuckerFull Monty Strat
