je vois que tu es toujours au rendez vous 

moi j'ai quitter paris suis rentrer pour rentrer dans l'ile de la réunion ou je suis né a la retraite et je reprends le cours de cigar box nation et espère

je voulais dire impossible de voir tes micros sur eBay 

mais peut être que l'ile de la réunion est trop loin ou trop cher

Your pickups look really nice and sound good from the demo videos I've seen/heard. I may need to use one on a future build. CBN is a great way to find folks making stuff like this. Thanks.

Hey Skeesix, I received my prewired pickup and jack yesterday. Fast delivery. Thank you very much for the directions, too.

Great job. Thanks again.

Skeesix, the pickup on your slide guitar instructionarl video sounds nice & crisp. Whats your secret? Do you have a decent amp? (All I have is a crappy Honeytone...)

Hi Skeesix - Thanks for leaving a comment with my last vid. You asked how I got the vocal effect - its not very clear from the vid but I'm using an old telephone ear-piece as a microphone. Inspired by Bluesbeaten Redshaw and Bol Log III. The signal is then routed via some distortion, a bit of compression and then a little reverb was added. 

Glad you liked the vid and here's wishing you a wonderful 2011.

Greetings. program!
Many thanks for the excellent pickup, it sounds awesome! With a clean sound, it has a very (for lack of a better term) One String Willie tone, bright & clear, With some distortion it sings & I also add some octave doubler (one and/or two octaves down) to make the room shake. I play it through an old Barcus Berry bass amp w/ a 2x15 Kustom tuck and roll cabinet. Very cool, many thanks for your hard work, it was a complete success, I wouldn't send anybody anywhere else for a one string pickup!

Yep, the open mic night is in Junie's lounge. I usually get there around 9:30 to put my name on the sign up so I can be around 4th or 5th on the list

Mary Ann- here is a new vid of me playing the Time Bomb with the 3 banger scorch and twang in my 2 piece band 7 Hills Stomp. I will be playing it at the Pennsylvania fest. Hope all is well with you. Later

Hey Skeesix,
You did a great job on the Christmas album. Holly Bop is a really, really well done track. Only trouble is . . . I can't get the damn tune outta my head!

Hi,
I found your workshop article on pickups to be very informative - I hope you don't mind me sharing the link and if so humble apologies. Rather than post this and go off topic may I ask what happened to Scotty's website? - all the members bits come up as blank. Is it still active or kept as a reference resource?
Thank you,
David

Hi SKeesix-
The backdrop for my photo is actually an old postcard from the 1920s. I photoshopped myself over the original photo, which was a lady playing a guitar.
Dig those pups!!!!
