Sound advice. CDBaby is one of the better places. Many people I know use them. This article is a good summary on iTunes royalty rates although some of it is out of date. Apple is always trying to drive the royalty rates down. Their focus is selling hardware, music for them is just content to sell hardware and if they could they'd make it available for free.

Re: Gibson Classic Les Paul 57s
Jeff,

At least one of the things he's done is to design his own bobbin to fit under the P-90 cover. Jason always felt like the stock P-90 didn't have enough power to generate an adequate magnetic field to really make it a worthwhile pickup and it didn't matter what you did to hot rod the stock pickup it still needed work and so he just redesigned the whole pickup. As a result his P-90 is in a class by itself. The thing that really impresses me about Jason is that I think he knows what he's looking for in the way of results long before he starts rewinding something and all of his work is in the direction of getting that result. If he can get it with known techniques and materials then he'll do it that way. If not he'll start all over and redesign the basic pickup. Brian -----Original Message-----

Jason redesigned the pickup and put his own pickup under the hood of the P-90 cover. I had heard that, but I don't know enough about pickup design to know what keeps them from being true P-90s. I believe they are potted, while authentic P-90s are not. Other than that, though, I'm stumped. I do know that both sets sound great. I will...just need to find a guitar to put them in. I have his original Vintage Lab set. I just had a set of VL2s put in a Les Paul. I have his '58 and '59 JP sets on order. I have a set of his Strat pickups also (I believe they are the '64 Mojo vintage models). The short version of Dave's story is that he has taken the scientific approach to recreating PAF pickups. He's done all kinds of metallurgic analysis of old pickups. He studied tons of originals that he's been able to rewind. He makes his own parts using high quality components that most manufacturers don't (or can't) use (or get). I think a lot of this info. is summarized on his YouTube page. He often includes lengthy text before his videos that sum up a lot of the research he's done. He also has a video that shows a tour of his "lab" (for lack of a better word). Anyway, the bottom line is that his pickups also sound great. He's definitely a maniac when it comes to researching PAFs. Jeff ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links |

I hooked up with CD Baby. They sell a CD for me once in a while, and set me
up with a bar code so I can put them in stores. They also put me on I Tunes, and the other download sites. every once in a while, a dollar comes pouring in from all over. CD Baby keeps up with all the twists and turns that the internet takes, and also keeps uploading great advice for coping with the present conditions in the business. No matter how you get there, or through who, the present conditions are going to be the same. Dave Woods |

Anyone else here use Pod?鈻� Hey, Charles, I use a Pod X3 Live. I don't get to play out much with it, my guitar chops ,, well, I wouldn't even call them that. When I do use it, my fave is a little AC30TB that has a nice clean chimey tone, w/minimal effects. I like it almost as much as a real AC30TB. If anyone wants, I'd be happy to email you the files, and if you have鈻� I'd 鈾� to hear your tones.

was Pod xt Tones to share plus Les Paul slap delay

I used a Pod for about 10 years or so and still have it but it's an old one upgraded to pod 2 and last time I booted it it was mentally ill. Making digital stutter noises across a number of presets. But on the subject of effects, I'd love to duplicate that great warm single slap sound Les Paul used to great effect. Pun intended. I think it was a box he designed. Probably totally analog. Anyone know what it was? I've been listening to their greatest hits album. Mary Ford [not her real name] had an amazing warm thick voice. Nice balance to the bright staccato chords Les used on that early stuff. But here's why I hate biddniss as usual. Their greatest hits album doesn't even have How High The Moon on it. I can only think of one reason for that. biddniss!! Profit corrupts absolutely. Christ I sound like a communist.... that corrupts absolutely to. They should have made John Lennon King of the known universe! Imagine that. Living and playing outside the box. |

Re: Gibson Classic Les Paul 57s
Jeff Shirkey
Lots of places have clips. People will often do YouTube videos, too. Basically I have a pretty good idea of what it is I'm looking for, then I narrow down my options (based on reputation, word of mouth, clips, videos, etc.) then I take the plunge. Most times you can't go wrong. It's not as if Jason Lollar makes a bad pickup, in other words. He doesn't. Yes, but after the fact. I try to do my part to help people make informed decisions since I have a lot of guitar with a bunch of different pickups in them. Jeff |

Re: Gibson Classic Les Paul 57s
This is peripheral to the main discussion, but I've always been curious about this.
How do you compare pickups? You can't go back and forth like you do at the stereo store with speakers -- it takes too long to swap them out. Do you use multiple guitars of the same model? Recordings? Just try to remember what they sound like? How do you do it? |

Advantages of iTunes
Will
A friend has currently employed an agent to
upload his band`s work onto iTunes. Although their royalties will be quite small there does seem to be an advantage to this way of marketing. There are no up-front pressing/manufacturing fees and no cloth-eared chain stores to persuade to carry his stock. Has anybody else here any experience of this type of venture? Will |
