``You Know You've Made It When The Coldstream Guards Play "Paranoid" On The Grounds Of Buckingham Palace.‘‘ —Keith Swain comment on the post.
Yeah, it kinda was. For what it was, they did a great job.

Brand new fresh SIT PowerSteels.
10 minutes play time before recording.
No EQ. No DI, just straight to GarageBand via USB input cable.
Sounds MUCH bigger through an amp!
[edit - replying to Veronica’s band covering Paranoid]
Great cover, fun montage! If only Geezer had played Thunderbirds, that band might have gone somewhere.

Bridge-neck position?
little overdriven, you on all the clips?
Open strings were;
Neck, both, bridge
Roll tone off, bridge both neck
Iron man neck played at end of neck tone 50%
Chords: both tone wide open
Sunshine: Both played over neck pickup 50% tone
Working man: bridge wide open , tiny bit of neck.
Chord walk neck, a bit of bridge
“Slap” everything wide open
“Maiden” neck pickup
Me, yes I played all clips. I was running a bit “hot” on the input gain. Was just hashing it out, no coffee no plan no warm up.
NO POST PROCESSING
Like I warned y’all /\/\3 unfiltered hack
I honestly did not listen back before posting! :-/
“Clips”
First take “punch ins” all the blemishes there to hear.
Action a bit too low, and too little relief after the string change!

Thank you very much for all your effort with these prototype Bicentennial pickups. Very appreciated from installation , buying 100k pots to the sound clips. All of this is so helpful. Now that we know they work hopefully they are at least in the ballpark compared to factory pickups.
I hope so too, that they are in the ballpark.
HAPPY to be involved, learning new wiring, and how CRITICAL pot values can be.
The biggest surprise for me was the pickup blending in series is SO interactive.
The volume bump is noticeable, but not dramatic when all 4 coils are on full.
Real bump in the sub frequency when all coils in play. FAAT.
These pickups have a real razor like cutting high end, but not sterile or harsh.
Only a few minutes through one of my rigs:
Very good impressions.
I like the behavior of the series wiring so much, I’m redoing the Ebony VP with the 916 AlNeos in series with 250k pots all across!
I want to STRESS that there is NO PROCESSING pre or post, using a 15.00 USB to 1/4” cable. No circuit board or buffering.
Simply captured the “RAW” output.
I’m certain that the impedance is pretty “off”
But it’s my practice platform

AFAIK, the TV Silvers are the only ones with the skinny neck.
Sounds good to me, and fitting tune.
From one who was in High School marching band and military marching band, I think it's kinda cool.
I like that better: it’s you not me LOL
I hear what you’re hearing.
First time on a new song. Guitar solo needs some beefing up.
