Teletuesday - An Old Post Punk Style Song

Here's an old original post punk style song for #teletuesday. I built the song around a drum track by Jim Dooley starting out with my Musicman Stingray 5 Bass. Then I added a track on my G&L Comanche with some drive and reverb via my Axe FX 2The final track is on my G&L ASAT with a quarter note delay on it as the lead. I was inspired to make this song when I was stuck on a slow train coming home from work early. I thought I would have a nice half day to spend and then the stupid train ends up being delayed by a freight train. To ease my boredom I started making a timelapse of the ride by holding my cellphone against the window.

I chose the ASAT as the lead because it has quite a bit of treble from its soap bar single coil pickups so they cut through a mix pretty well.

I love the bridge on this guitar, the nice rounded corners and heavy block of metal help with sustain. There's even a hex key that pushes each saddle together to make the whole bridge more solid.

I used to not like the headstock shape, but its finally grown on me. Now I have four G&L guitars.

This is a 30th anniversary era guitar from 2010. Leo Fender and George Fullerton founded G&L after they sold the Fender brand to CBS to continue testing out interesting guitar technology like the weird bridge and fat no hum soap bar pickups.

This guitar also has a cool sparkly pearl finish, its hard to capture this finish in a photo.
