I just got off the phone with Bob Altman and he says that the guitar he's building for me should be done in a few weeks. I can hardly wait!! The guitar will be fitted with RMC pickups, like my other guitars and an internal mic. I did some recording and eq tests last night and worked on getting the best recorded sound possible with just the pickup and mic combo that I use live. Proper EQ seems to be the ticket. the pickup needs a bit of boost around 8k, to add some sparkle with some frequency cut in the 1-2khz range to minimize the harsher tones. I A-B'd the result with a stereo recording I had done with an Earthworks preamp and two Neumann TLM 103's. The results were surprisingly close, but I am going to keep working on it. We're going to start recording some live shows too and and I'll post some of the results here soon. Jenn just got off the phone with Joseph at Basil's in Buckhead and we're going over tonight for dinner. Basil's was the first Mediterranean restaurant in Atlanta, and it's still the best. Looking forward to sinking my teeth into the stuffed grape leaves. mmm.. Ciao - J
