Years ago I made a mahog weiss style,
and put a Baggs LB12 in it.
I like the way it sounds.
When playing out in public,
I always just take a slab git,
less feedback,
more bite, etc.
I got an EMG ACS soundhole pup recently,
and drilled another hole in the tail block.
Run the Baggs into a Baggs DI, and the EMG into a A B box,
Blend the pups with the vol controls.
I just did a little show at a brewery, and started with the weiss,
went to the slab git,
and had to go back to the weiss.
AAAAAHHHH! That thing sounds great!
I like the bass on the Baggs, and the treble on the EMG.
So, just thought I'd pass that on,
as a player......

I don't really know how.
I used to have a soundclick site,
and a me-space,
but got too many e-mails from idiots that wanted me to buy their "beats".
So, any suggestions?

Here are some choices:
1. YouTube - don't worry about the video, just plop a picture in there.
2. MySpace - free uploading and serving.
3. http://www.reverbnation.com - maybe even set up a gmail account and let all the garbage go there.
4. Go for some obscure genre of music like Death Polka - they will leave you alone

Thanks, guys.
Maybe this weekend I'll check out site.
It's funny, on the soundclick site I got so many hip-hoppers that wanted to sell me beats,
and be my producer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I play completely different music.
Plus, that website was a bear to figure out at first.......

Looks like I need to make some shorter cables!!!!! gaah
