Bluesmaster through Celestion Vintage 30

Post by norburybrook »

Thought I'd share this. From a Recent Covid arts council funded project putting east and western musicians from my borough of London together to produce a track.

Blues master through a 1x12 Celestion Vintage 30 (vintage UK) '78 Les Paul Deluxe bridge pickup wide open :)



excuse the video :) we had to do phone recordings to make a video as the 2 concerts that are normally performed with this project couldn't due to Covid.

The rhythm parts were done on my telecster through the Bad CAt/Matchless amp I Built earlier in the year .



Merry Christmas.

Great guitar work. I like how your right hand attacks the strings like a bass.

I was more focused on bass than guitar when I was younger (there were always bands hiring bassists and I really like smacking the shit out of it), so sometimes I feel much more accurate with my fingers walking than I do with a pick.

Is that a *real* bluesmaster?

ahhh that was because I forgot my plectrum when filming :mrgreen: It was played with a pick...a very fat Wegen gipsy Jazz pick in fact :mrgreen:

No it's a Bluesmaster I made. 100w, FET boost, PAB, OD . I had it set @50w (half power switch) so I didn't blow up the 60w vintage 30. I had OD and PAB on.

thanks Jeff. Yes Rajesh is amazing. He's a south Indian Classical singer, the song is in Hindi and is about love and loss, a subject that transcends all genres . I'm really pleased with the track we wrote , I think it combines my western 'rock' vibe with his Indian Classical heritage.

I posted to show the guitar tone from the Bluesmaster through a non standard or not popular speaker choice, as usual it was serendipitous as I had been using a different amp into that speaker cab and just plugged in the BM. I liked the tone I got with the Les Paul Deluxe (mini humbuckers).
