... is a bit rough. I just happen to live close by and we hang and he lightens my dull suburban life with his rockstar stories, and I give him my opinion on what his new shit does for me- which lately has been consistently jaw-dropping. I am going to stop with the superlatives and move on to well- more superlatives.
Banker has come out with a new set of PUP's in HB and a TV Jones gold foil sort of animal- the HB is SD meets PAF- the Banker V I played (which just came off a set with Markus King in Nashville- watch for the stream and DVD set) had the HB- 12K in the bridge and 7.8K in the neck- unbelievable clarity (played clean and thru a Klon into a Vibrolux Reissue- in Matt's sick studio which is unfair to test drive anything in). I am a big fan of pick ups that are percussive- listen to Randall playing Smokstack Lightening in the Amp section- that's what we got here just bigger.
The TV Jones thing was Rickenbacker on steroids- that is installed in one of Matt's Redtails for a famous guitar player- I can't spill the beans. Not a household name but the band is- and the guitarist doesn't care that he isn't household name. Anyway- clear and cutting without being ice-picky.
These tip their hart to history- but do their own thing- and a very authoritative way. I know I get very wrapped up "looking back" when there are many great things happening right now.
Mastadon, Markus King, Tyler Bryant (featuring Graham Whitford- both guitarists), Clutch and Rival Son's all have recorded Banker guitars on their last albums. Matt is doing it right.
