Custom Shop Pickup Reviewer

[Scott Olson]

Want to try out some Custom Shop pickups and make some videos? I am looking for a blues/rock player who can do good videos with good sound recording quality. There are lots of pickups that I think there needs to be some actual samples of. While I don't have nowhere near the time to do this myself, one lucky guy in this thread may be selected to do a couple demos and can keep the pickups. Here are some of the possibilities.

JB/JAZZ CONCEPT SET
78 MODEL
PEARLY GATES SINGLE COIL
53 TAPPED TELE MODEL T SET
BG 1400 LEAD STACK
CHARLIE CHRISTIAN
JOHNNY SMITH
RIPPER
SCOTT IAN EL DIABLO BLACK ONLY
GEORGE LYNCH SUPER V
WARREN DEMARTINI

So, let's see those videos.

Thank you for the opportunity, Scott. Unfortunately, I don't have a quality recording mic. Also, and even more unfortunate, I'd rather not demonstrate my fretboard "skills" to the whole world.

Scott asked for sample videos.

Would Brobucker count?

Here's my shot at a 35th Anniversary Commemorative JB pickup review.

80's metal is a guilty pleasure of mine I have to admit... I can do other stuff but just wanted to play the classic JB riffs so people could get a feel for what the pickup can do.

The recording is direct USB and the dialogue was recorded via wireless omnidirectional lavalier. The video is in full HD.

I scanned in my sticker and cleaned it up in Photoshop for the 35th Anny logo at the beginning. lolz

It's waaaay too long but I just needed to get one out of the way so I can see what I am up against as far as labor and time is considered.

I had so many damn riffs I wanted to play (I'm a JB fanatic and collector) that would exploit the 35th Anny JB's strengths and special tone gifts that I had trouble narrowing them down.

I take direction well too and can make pretty much any video that you would like.

Thanks for the consideration.

Here's a clip I did almost 3 years ago demoing a handmade fuzz pedal that I built.

Ooh, ooh, pick me, pick me!

Here's a recent video I did for one of our local retailers demoing the Ibanez Paul Gilbert Fireman FRM100.

Video is recorded with an Olympus PEN E-P3 (sweet new Micro 4/3 format camera I just got a few weeks ago) and audio is recorded via Audix i5 and synced post.




Here's an earlier vid I did on my iPhone + Audix i5 for Line 6. It's not great as it was my first foray into vids, but Line 6 thought it was worthy of linking to from their FB and Twitter pages



PS - I'm not just a speedy player, I can play blues/rock too, it just so happens that those two videos involve Paul Gilbert and EVH...

Re: Custom Shop Pickup Reviewer

Zenmindbeginner is going to give the '78 a try. If you are interested, keep the videos coming because we will probably do another one after he is done (Feb).
