I would like to post a few clips when I get them all finished up

I'm excited good luck with that bro

Thanks I am excited as well, it has be about a year and a half since I have done any kind of recording at all. I have been wanting to post some stuff up here for you guys, but my digital tech skills, are somewhat lacking so I have to get a few more things figured out

[jonesy]

ROUGH DEMOS, IF YOU CARE TO LISTEN???
I posted up a couple of rough demos(mistakes and all ) that I just made
of a couple of my original songs. I had a lot of trouble with the KORG I was using and ended up dumping my mix out the headphone jack back inot my PC where I mixed it. The Audio is a not the best, so please forgive me. I hope you like them...

jonesin' is full of sick greasy Strat licks and the Indiana Method is a finger style instrumental with a groove. Both songs were recorded on my 03 Blue Strat bridge/ middle setting with just a bit of Tone rolled on for some Mojo. I was plugged directly into the KORG, dry on jonesin' lot's of delay on the IM

jonesy's ROUGH DEMO's on Myspace

I have some heavier jimi style stuff recorded but wanted to post these up first...

[jonesy]

The 5 Strat Tones...
Here is my 03' Fender American Strat with stock pickups and a .022 Sprague HYREL Paper In Oil Tone cap. Tone control is just cracked open enough o add a little warmth from the cap 7-8 on the knob. I am plugged directly into a KORG D-12 Digital recorder, no amp, no tubes just a little room reverb in the mix.

Here are the switch settings in order of sound clips...
1. bridge

2. bridge/middle

3. middle

4. middle/neck

5. neck

Jimi & SRV Mojo

Here is something a little heavier I uploaded...
Sound clip of Jimi Mojo Sound Clip on Entertonement

peace, jonesy

dave it sounds very good... the bridge unit sounds warm and twangy ( did you roll the tone knob down a bit? ), nice. Perhaps the neck unit sounded a bit dissapointing to me... not enough mojo compared to my strat neck tone ( BKP Apache pickup w/ AIII polepieces and low h formvar windings). All in all very good.

[Zoshquin]

been waiting for em hmm for some odd reason Entertonement won't work for me but those on myspace are cool bro, I like the tone of the Jimi and SRV Mojo you hard Mojo'd it eh haha hope to see more

Thanks for Listening Josh, and as always I appreciate your input bro, it has been over a year since I have done any kind of recording at all. As I have said before I am an analog man in a digital world

Here is the link again if you would like to try it again?

Thanks for the input H., yeah I had the Tone cracked open just enough to let the "mojo-filter" do it's thing, when DJ listened to it he actually picked the neck pu as his favorite sound I would love to hear some sounds clips of your Strat to compare? Did you listen to the Jimi Mojo clip that is all neck pickup

[slowhand0461]

I just gotta know which wah pedal you were using on the Jimi clip.....

sounds fantastic,btw

Ummm, Well actually it's that 70's cry baby with the "mystery" inductor that I got from you bro I have had a lot of wah's(dunlop. thomas,vox) and I gotta say this one seems to have some Mojo for sure, it's the only crybaby that I have working at the moment Thanks again for hooking me up with the good stuff Martin!

[slowhand0461]

I knew it sounded familiar .... Glad you like it!!!

[jonesy]

Thanks again I Love it, it's all broke in and feels & sounds just right bro

Hmm still won't work.. I even turned off my ad blockers.. maybe they're blocking japan..

[jonesy]

Sorry Josh, IDK what op with that, I had a couple of people here in the US tell it did not work for them, but for most it has worked.. hmm. The green button plays file, and if you click on yellow box with file name it should open that clip and show details then start playing automatically?

Does the link even take you to the site or no?

Sound Clips of 4 Way Tele Mod
These clips were recorded with my Tele that has the Fender SCN pu's in it, 1950's Sprague .015 Bumble Bee cap and the 4 Way Switch Mod. It is also a "Top loader" so IMO it has a more warm open sound to start with than many of the String Through the Back Teles I have owned.

All Clips were recorded with guitar plugged directly into KORG, just a bit of Room Reverb and the Tone control is cracked open just enough to add a little "Warmth" to the pickups. I use Ernie Ball Regular Slinky's 10-46, and a Fender Heavy Pick. Volume was set the same on all clips, so you are hearing exact sound level of each pu setting.

All 4 sound clips were recorded in this order...

1. Bridge

2. Bridge/Neck parallel

3. Neck

4. *Bridge and Neck in Series (like humbucker)

Thanks for listening and I probably should have recorded a Country clip. Oh Well? I would like to hear your comments on these sound clips?
peace, jonesy

4 WAY TELECASTER SWITCH MOD

I have had a few guys ask about the 4 way wiring since I posted the sound clips
that I recorded with Lil' Keef, so I thought I would post it up here for anyone that would like to try it on their Tele. Grounding the cover of the neck pickup and cutting the "jumper" from the cover to the negative pu wire is very important. Usually if someone has a problem with it not working, it is because of that. All Negative wires from neck pu go to switch and the ground wire from the cover goes to the back of the volume pot. If you have any questions just give me a bump and I will walk you through the install

I see you have this same exact post in the wiring library, my answers may vary from what you get there, so take it all with a grain of salt.

1. Wire I use is, 22 g solid, 22g stranded & braided Gibson style wire.
wiring methods vary.

2. CTS pots are what I always use and find them to operate smooth and function properly.

3. Linear pots taper off fast and are usually only used for tone. I use audio taper pots for everything.(try Google for more details)

4. You have master volume and Tone, look at the way your Tone Cap is tied into circuit??? There are about 4 different ways to wire cap into circuit, Original Fender style(See Tele or P-Bass wiring) Gibson 50's, Gibson Modern and the way yours is shown. Your choice on that one

Not sure why your order is taking so long in the mail, could be customs delay etc?

thanks for the reply, btw i have recieved that cap and bleed kit this morning.

what style of circtuit in your oponion would work best with that cap you sold to me? do i wire my new circuit the same as my current one and change the way the cap is tied in? OR try a different style of circuit?

i want your opinion as you got so much expertise in this department.

Well how about start with, use this wiring diagram which is a lot like the one you have. Then if you want to tinker around you can change the way the cap connects to pots. If you go to my profile pics here at MLPF look in the one with wiring diagrams. if you study the diagrams I mentioned you can see how caps connect. Just look at one side of a standard LP wiring diagram. There are differences in Tone, small variations as the 50's is said to be brighter, the modern more warm etc. That is all waiting for you to be explored, then you will know with your own 2 ears vs someone telling you how it will sound. Have fun and I am always here if you need help or get stuck.



BTW glad your order arrived today
