This is great! I have all or most of Reece's available cassettes, and this is totally different stuff.

Jeff....Good information, thanks. Could you please compare the performance of the E66 and TT versus the SS pups as you saw it. Also, what resitance was the TT wound to?The TT is wound to about 17.5. ...

I suppose it's possible Ulf's experience with the Classic SS is slightly different than what can be expected with an older, larger Classic.

Hi Reece,

Hi Larry, sorry I didn't make it up to hear you play in Grand Rapids before the move south. I hope the hurricane didn't take anything irreplaceable.

Steven, I don't know if this will interest you or ...

What Doug J. is calling a "Locrian" is actually the "altered dominant scale". Often that's called the "Super Locrian." Maybe that's where Doug was coming from there.
