Wow, that was awesome! Do you notice that hiis bass sound takes on a quite different character depending on how hard he taps. My guess is that he uses a limiter to make that wide headroom possible within the band context. And isn't there a lot of fuzzy fret buzzing even on those "soft" not... |

Wow, that tune fits the Stick perfectly! I mean, with those complex harmonies that crawls around the simple lead melody. Nice! I suppose also Space Odditity can be done in a nice version on the Stick, widely spread out voicing harmonies... and the crappy sounding aku guitar strumming bridge could be... |

My old mobile phone just got replaced by an iPhone and then I found the Ampltube 3 iRig app in the App Store. Seems great for practicing. But doesn't it require that special input and headphones listening jack gadget from IK Multimedia?

If you have a sound example I'd be curious to hear- No need for sound examples, I'm just asking if someone has tried to put the PASV4 upside down and if it actually matters sound-wise? If I had time at hand I would do the experiment myself. I suspect you are right about the both sides of the pickup... |

That's very interesting! So you think the bands filtered are the same on both sides of the pickup? If your understanding is correct it means that the melody side produces way more treble just by the tuning and thinner strings used. I'm sometimes finding the sharp sounding position way too sharp soun... |

Hi guys, I was just wondering if someone has tried swapping sides for the PASV4 by turning it upside down? What does it sound like? How difficult is the operation? It seems to me that the fattening filters of the bass side pickups would be more useful to treat the melody side strings. I mean, the ba... |

both stick and egenharp (drehleier in Germanif i'm correct). Nice clip! But I made a typo I'm afraid. Sorry for that. I meant to joke about Loibner's alien playing technique on the Hurdy Gurdy and I did not mean the Egenharp but the Eigenharp ! Like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlR32kuy... |

Glad to hear about The Baryton for the first time. By a funny coincidence I was just enjoying my morning cafe latte watching a Hurdy Gurdy video. Not that the HG is so rare, but this video is a good document for how cool this instrument can sound. In Mattias Loibner's hands it sort of becomes "... |
