Hi all ! Here is my version of Peace Pipe with middle pickup :

What do you think please, as for many of you, neck position was used in original version ? Thanks.

Hi Brattmore,

Very nice. A lovely sound and very well played. Well done.

I think it's better played on the middle pickup, and have been using the middle pickup myself on this one for quite a while. I have my doubts as to whether it was played originally on the neck pickup. I believe that most of the Shadows original recordings were played on the middle pickup. Nowadays, Hank seems to use the bridge pickup for nearly everything.

Kind regards
Roger

Hi Brattmoore,
Very nice sound and playing. I do use the neck pickup for this and I think Hank did. More mids can make it work because normally the neck pickup lacks mids compared with the middle pickup.

Many thanks to all of you. OK I'll try the neck position with more mids.

Hi Brattmoore,

That's a lovely smooth sound, and played superbly. I think I'm still favour of the middle pickup though for this one.

Kind regards

Hi Brattmoore,
They actually sound very similar but I prefer the sound of your latest file with the neck pickup as it sounds closer to the original to me. Both files really should have a little more treble as they don't seem to have quite the same clarity of tone as the original. As to exactly what kind of treble is difficult to say but it is more likely to be a recording EQ setting than an amp setting.

Many thanks for your comments. Here is the same "Peace Pipe" with a little more treble :

Is it OK or should I put more highs please ? Thanks.

Hi Brattmoore,
It sounds much closer to the original now. I think it is probably close enough.

I think that audio quality is better on youtube :

Hi, Brattmoore,

Yep, definately the neck pickup for me. That latest YouTube version is just about spot-on I think.
