trento festival 2008 acoustic
Some say that when you get old you look good to do nothing more to young people.
But we continue to have fun and as teens steal candy to children, we like to play more easy because we have fun.
"D'Altrocanto," yet another alias JJband spin-off, with a new father of Julia and Luca Ruffini items, ranked first in the 2008 Acoustic Festival of the Municipality of Trent

Thrush From Getting Fingered
B-band
It took more than 20 years to convince me to electrify my old acoustic guitar.
The kit, which arrived from Germany, is composed of three box containing everything you need, including the jack and a 9V battery and all wiring. The two pickups are referred to as UST and AST, and have completely different characteristics:
- the FSO is mounted under the bridge and passed through a hole in the coffin easily obtainable with a 3mm drill bit. There are two models of UST, the 23R and 29R and differ only by the width (2.9mm against 2.3mm) and of course the model must be purchased depending on the extent of the bridge of his guitar.
- AST, the only model available, should be pasted inside the box, so that it is positioned under the bridge. In my case, since there is enough space, as recommended by the manual, was put behind the bridge, that is, to understand not between the hole and the bridge but after a small bridge to the bottom of the box. Since the operation is done almost blindly, there is provided a preformed cardboard cutout, with the adhesive, allowing you to take your measurements before and then go outside with a sure hand in the guitar.
links are quite trivial, there is no welding to be applied. The pre-amp, the battery box and the remote control is equipped with an effective double-sided, and in the case of the battery holder, with a layer of velcro that allows to disassemble for changing batteries.
The jack in my case has replaced the pinch "of the series, since the diameter was luckily just the same.
The remote control is particularly interesting because it is applied inside the box near the edge of the hole, so that even if the controls are invisible to the eye in fact, readily accessible by the fingers of his right hand.
The FSO going to occupy the seat of the bridge (you're talking about a fraction of a millimeter) is still to increase the action of the guitar.
Considering that the bottom surface of the bridge, the transducer in contact with the FSO, was not particularly smooth and regular, I proceeded to write a filed down the bridge about half a mm lowering and adjusting the background perfectly, so as to ensure perfect contact with the FSO. Indeed, comparing the sound before and after the filed, I noticed an improvement yield FSO, I think because of the surface more closely.
evidence shows that the system returns once great satisfaction: the sound is very balanced with no difference in volume between the strings and a fair equalization without too many annoying average, typical of the guitars and piezoelectric transducers cheaper.
It takes a little 'patience to appreciate the differences between the two pickups. The AST was "wide open" and returns every little nuance of the guitar sound. E 'highly crystalline and microphone, and then returns with the sound of any guitar, streaks on the ropes and slamming Included on the case. As described in the manual, this pickup works well in giving the most from 800Hz up. From
800Hz down there thinks the FSO: This is initially present as a big disappointment, because it appears to be off and with little volume. In fact working with the control mix and earnings (accessible only from the pre-and not by remote control), we get to mix perfectly sound, having the right balance between sound crystal clear and full of bass.
The control mix thus emerges as a cross between an equalizer and a presence control. Turning it from a verse of up to 100% of UST, a soft sound, full and with little attack, turning the other is up to a situation of 50% between UST and AST, resulting in crystal clear sound.
The manual advised to wait several days to make final adjustments so that the FSO will fit in the pressure of the bridge.

the wave of enthusiasm after winning at the recent Acoustic Festival and gassed by the performance of Bermuda Trio (those never say Tuesday) I decided it was time to remove dust from the "old" and give it new life. On the advice of
Valentino, in turn advised by the Bermuda Way, I bought the kit of the B-band, two pickups (UST 29R, AST 1470), preamp and a remote control with volume and mix ( model A2 .2).

Schwinn Spinner Pro, Manual
JOKER - 007: TWO ZERO
And after dinner, who had the right medium is also smoked all fumabile!
's nice to see for themselves that virtual communities can come true sometimes. The weekend of April 19th I was pleased with the pppiii maiscula to attend the first meeting of joker and friends, organized with a simple but effective tam-tam on the network, with the main reference site www.jokeristi.it.
Being the happy owner of an old Joker T3 (Joker), and instead I had a newer T4 (California), and therefore comes in the second category (friends), feeding the days preceding the rally serious doubts about the type of people that I found: maniacs purists T3? old joker globetrotter? how they judged my modern means?

But the thing almost incredible: 45 / 2 and its crew that did not previously know each other, find themselves in a timely camping Peschiera first of all to cook with your steak, then everyone at the table to chat about this and less like old and dear friends.
And after dinner, who had the right medium is also smoked all fumabile!
Pure time has come to be at our side, giving us a window of good weather on Saturday morning to Sunday evening, just right to allow a pleasant stay on garda (Friday night at midnight it was raining at Trent and there were 9 ° C on Saturday, were in short sleeves).
will be angry with us as a crew of 007 Quantum of Solace, parked a few miles from us, who have obviously made a lightning rod-jinx, pecking the week before (and even that after) all the water that God could rain down on earth. And speaking of bad luck, in our wanderings in column 3 of the garda we crossed Aston Martin DBS used for filming, and just to understand that good luck was on our side, we also passed the very spot where one of the Aston Martin flew into the lake, about a quarter of an hour before it happened the fact!
