  You, Randy Richter and Damian Bacci are part of an exciting new generation of Rockabilly musicians and all three of you are producing some of the finest Rockabilly guitar lessons that I have seen on KZread. In addition, each of you takes your great knowledge of classic Rockabilly guitarists' playing and channel it in your own unique, personal way. It's so exciting to see that Rockabilly music moves people around the world. Music truly is the "universal language". Keep up the wonderful work and I wish you the best. I love the playing, arrangements and audio production on these sample tracks. Beautiful!

  Hi Kirill, well done again with this topic and comparison and very good playing! I also bought the Sorkin Bowtie years ago and was disappointed that it does not fit without the flat plate. Carl Perrkins used one combined with a Bigsby on his Gibson Goldtop (think its the Glad all over video). Would be good to know if he used a customized base then? I myself use a Compton Bridge. Its a brass version and chambered. That guy helped me to make sure that it will fit my bridge space and the neck radius. I´m very happy with it! No problems with holding tuning and it also is a part of the big sustain the guitar has now. I see your point with getting it with another tool. For me its better when the base is alreday what I want. One question regarding the distance of the spring and the bridge. Is muting(hand on bridge) possible with that spring so near?

  No I didn't have any issues with palm muting. Maybe I'm not the most aggressive palm muter on the planet Earth, but for what do I do, muting bass strings while Travis picking, it doesn't pose any challenges. I fitted the Sorkin, in the end, onto my other guitar, a one having the bridge studs mounted directly into the body. I got rid of the bridge base and just put the Bigsby part onto those studs. The stud spacing of the Sorkin bridge is still somewhat different than the one of the standard Tune-o-Matic, but comes pretty close. It fitted well due to the tolerances of that particular bridge and that particular guitar, I believe. Checked the Glad All Over vid, and Carl's bridge base looks different than the modern Sorkin base, maybe it has the other shape underneath as well. Yeah, I had a plan to get a piece of ebony and to make myself a custom adapter plate for the Sorkin, but was lucky that it mated with that other guitar in the end!

  I think more mass=decrease of resonance, at least for acoustic instruments I heard this often time. The lighter the more resonance. I installed also locking tuners on my Epi ES295, but as you said, it makes string change faster, but I couldnt experience anything better regarding staying in tune. While I also dont have the problem with breaking strings, so wouldnt add locking tuners again. Will check out the trem you got here, as I stopped trying a Bigsby on my Les Paul Goldtop. Never had a pleasing result and also dont want to drill something new into the guitar. The Vibramate also didnt help. Also like the look of your tremolos arm.

  I did this with the Broad’Trons on my Streamliner Gretsch. I did a number of different experiments, first just lowering the overall pickups in the mounting ring, then raising all the pole pieces back up with the overall pickup still lowered, then lowering one row of pole pieces on each pickup back down while leaving the other row of pole pieces raised up and the overall pickup still lowered. In the end I chose to go with the overall pickup lowered down almost flush with the height of the mounting ring and all the pole pieces raised back up to about the distance from the strings where they were from the factory. One row of poles on each pickup is only very slightly higher than the other. This cut enough of the midrange and bass so that they have more articulation and clarity, but they still have a kind of Filter’Tron “quack”. When I tried them with one row of poles up and the other way down, I found they had more clarity like a single coil, but they lost all the unique Gretsch character.

  Great job on this one! I myself dont like that much delay in genetal but of course always a good learning how the sounds were done back then which we heard and love. 🙂 Good point on the compressor. I read a very detailed article about Cliff Gallup some years ago about sound,equipment etc but he missed the point of the compressor you really hear on that recordings,of cours not done by a pedal but the use Fairchild or similar studio compressor.

• 
  @kpnashАй бұрын

  Thank you! In fact, I'm still curious about what was used for compression in the studio. The famous Fairchild 660 was developed in 1959. So must have been some earlier model. But there definitely was something, cause I don't hear, for example, the guitar's popping attack at all.

• 
  @Red_MartinАй бұрын

  @@kpnash Some moons ago when I looked into this recording theme, so lets see, what I remember... As far as I know the 660 was invented in the early 50s already ( the story goes that Les Paul back then requested to design one like the 660..). Well, it may be that they used ALtec 436B or 436C at Capital Records. There were also companies like Collins (26U1). RCA made there own, and there was Langevin, Gates(Sta-Level) and General Electric (BA5) who had limiters/Compressors. You may know that already, I guess..? These first devices were in fact more limiters and created for broadcasting and the process on lathe cutting to avoid overdrive the signal. So the extended part of the attack thing was invented later only which made them only then to nowadays known compressors Univeral Audio 1176 etc) As you also may know, the tape saturation is a compression effect as well. Which may also come into game in the final sound. BTW the first compressor(Limiter) type known is the Telefunken U3 made 1936 created specially for the Olympics ganes.. A later updated version was by Rhode and Schwarz as U23. I still have a TAB U73B tube compressor (also further development of the Telefunken) which some call "the counterpart of the Fairchild 660". But I`m no expert to proof that and still have not ben able to test it. A shame, but a musician friend in Hannover builds up a little studio and will then try it there one day.

  Sorry to say this but that delay isn't right at all, scotty had a tape delay in his amp , louder slapback is needed. Good enthusiasm

• 
  @kpnashАй бұрын

  Scotty had: - a tube powered tape delay within the amp - an RCA ribbon mic - specific mic placement within a specific room - an RCA recording console - in the end of the signal chain, an Apex recording machine - on top of that, his own personal picking technique and touch, plus one of the most prominent sound engineer of the time ...maybe also something else, and all of that was contributing to the sound we hear and dig. For anyone who is not capable of lugging all of the above around, a single repeat produced by a digital delay chip, rolling down a bit of treble afterwards, might be a feasible choice.

  Was actually my fav as well, sound wise! There's an installation issue though, its stud spacing doesn't match the guitar, putting it just on the top doesn't work well either, because it requires a flat top. For just a quick test, it works fine, however a gigging instrument requires something which would be more stable.

Also, forgot to mention Carl Perkins was obviously a favorite of theirs as well as Chuck Berry (not exactly rbilky, I know 😀). Not at all surprising that John got to jam with Chuck later and of course paid tribute to his first loves on his "Rock n' Roll" album, just as Paul got to jam with Carl.

  Heureux possesseur d'une GRETSCH 6120 DE 2013, elle avait un chevalet tune-o-matic d'origine. Je détestais ce chevalet à cause du réglage de l'intonation difficile a ajusté et son radius qui ne correspondait pas au radius du manche. De plus, les micros sont des Grestsch 2892371 et j'avais un problème pour obtenir le son Gretsch que j'adore. J'ai simplement changé le chevalet par un Rockin' bar du même radius que le manche, régler la hauteur des micros et la différence était vraiment flagrante. Aujourd'hui, j'adore le son de ma guitare branché dans ma carbon copy et monder blues junior. Vive le Rockabilly.

Bought a cheap Cort guitar, that was not my cup of tea but it had TV Jones Classic and Classic plus in it, put it into a light tele body with B5 bigsby and Japan ABR bridge, Squier Jazzmaster neck since it was all I had lying around. Some setup and it’s one of the nicest guitars I have and extremly versitale, used it with a cover band I was as substitute for classic rock 50 songs set, all good, use it in my Beatles tribute for Harrison parts, it sounds as it should, it does all.

• 
  @kpnash3 ай бұрын

  Hard to say because, while swapping out tuners, I also added the tremolo. Let's put it this way, before the upgrade it was worse than my Telecaster and better than my Country Gent, and it still compares similarly to those two axes after the mod. From the perspective of physics, I wouldn't expect any tuning stability changes either. Let's consider decent quality tuners. Tuner is just a string's mounting point. The other point is the tailpiece. If you wouldn't expect tuning stability improvements from swapping out tailpieces, why would you expect the same from a tuner upgrade?
