Little SRV with the Carol-Ann Revo1!

A little recording I got last night at band rehearsal…recorded with my Strat into a Revo1 (the prototype, actually) with a little delay in the effects loop.  We were in a small room, so the drums a re a little out front in the mix…enjoy! ZOOM0001

Pickup news!

Javelinas are shipping out, and preliminary reports are good–I’m getting great feedback.  Dave Johnson threw a set in his Korina Explorer and reported back he’s finally getting some lows in that guitar–awesome news!  :0) Shep really hit one out of the park with these, and I think they are only going to get more popular, [...]

The Javelina by Sheptone is HERE!

Jeff has done a killer job with these.  Do yourself a favor and check them out! http://www.bbstonesolutions.com/archives/758 There aren’t many pickups wound to this caliber at this price.  That was our goal–to get great pickups and offer them at a reasonable price.  If you are a blues-rock player, you are going to dig these.  :0) [...]

The Javelina (by Sheptone) is here! (New Pickups!)

I got my first shipment of Javelinas by Sheptone, so stay tuned for pricing and clips! These are proving to be some great Blues/Rock pickups–I’ve had them in my R9 for about 2 weeks, and they sound terrific.  I’m going to try and get some recordings with the band this coming weekend, so be sure [...]

A sad day for guitar players everywhere…

Sunday, 6 February–the day Gary Moore passed from this world to the next. Only 58 years old, he passed away in a Spanish hotel during the night.  Not a rock and roll casualty, he had been living clean and was both healthy and full of life. He will be missed.  RIP, Gary Moore. BB

Landry Amp Upgrade, plus more pickup testing!

Today was a fun day.  :0) I took a drive over to Bill Landry’s house, and took along a few things.  He had a new mod for the amp–a big one, which will probably result in a new LS-100 model.  I also took some pickup prototypes to put in my Gibson R9 for testing. First, [...]

Carol-Ann OD2-50 has Landed!

I received it yesterday, and oh my–now I know what all the fuss is about. I hooked up my ’76 LP Custom (with custom shop prototype pickups) straight into the amp–no effects…wow, Joe Bonamassa tones after tweaking for a minute! I’ll be recording some clips/vids today, and will hopefully have them up soon…  :0) My [...]

Pickup Prototypes are in!

Great news…I have prototypes at the house, and will be testing over the next couple of weeks.  One set is loaded, and so far they sound great. If you are a fan of the WB Habanero, then you will dig these.  If you didn’t have a chance to buy some, then these will easily fill [...]
