Default the Buck'O silver sparkle Dynobrain & Seltzerado

In hopes that Don Rich and Buck Owens are smiling down upon me, I shot
some baby silver metal flake over a silver base w black pinstripe and white knobs. available for order on my website.. www.thenocturnebrain.com



This round is for both the Nocturne Dynobrain Preamp and
the Nocturne Seltzerado, the surf meets spaghetti western fuzz, a silicon fuzz-rite made right, even Davie Allen has one.

I've not seen that video, very cool although that is one thin thin sounding tele.. I bet the front row lost a few teeth after that performance.

There are some of us who love Buck...

woe.. wait a minure there what in the heck is ya talkin about?? I'm a rabid Buck fan and crazy about Don Rich! I was raised on the bakersfield sound from my father. I've got rutters guitar making me a double bound silver metallic tele body right now that I'm shooting in silver flake like my pedals pictured above thats the WHOLE point in calling them Buck'O silver sparkle

here's my tele in waiting at the moment which has a much rounder sound, not so steely like the bucko'caster I'm gonna have together soon complete with Pete Florance's bakersfield TE60's pickups.

Being a hardcore Buck fan you should already know.

Buck nor Don ever played a Roland space echo.. first offense against Buck..

Second offense.

What you would call a thin sounding tele, Buck fans would call the perfect sounding tele.

Third.

Buck hated the fuzz used on who's gonna mow your grass. That was the record companies idea.

I guess he diddn't want to outshine the one string nature of the song.

I am well aware of the gear and tone of both Buck and Don Rich, intimately.. I said the recording of the live performance was a super bright and thin sound, almost compressed. This sound is not what I hear in the albums.

Again, the "COLOR" theme of my preamp and spaghetti western fuzz is what is a tribute.. the Silver metal flake, the black accents and white knobs.

The only offense I see is me having to defend the Silver metallic color of my BUCK'O silver finish pedals for the month of July.

there's a thread on it or rather on the man behind the goodies on it

http://www.gretsch-talk.com/forum/ot...is-talent.html

The body,neck,control plate, electrosocket are from ruttersguitars.com. body is one piece ash 3.5lbs. Tksmith bigsby neck and bridge pickups, custom pickguard and armrest, as well as his alum bigsby neck shim and reshaping my B16.
originally I had installed a blackguard pkguard with lollar charlie christian neck, peter florance TE60 bakersfield bridge in the B16 with 13g flatwounds and bari neck..but it morphed into the TK smith special when I took the neck off the rutter 52 'relice and put it on the bari (the bari neck sits waiting for the buck'o caster body and the 52' relic has an american tele neck on it now.

well my friend Buddy Dughi although a gretsch sponsored artist, still does a lot of car shows bringin trucker tunes and some buck owens style music to his sets. He had a custom tele done similar to a Don Rich and had his steel guitar done to match. He's the one who started me on this scheme asking me to make a Ubangi Stomp in a scheme to match his guitar, so I went with it.



ps. here's Red

So Redd officially endorses your products?

This is news....

Heading over to share with the Tele forum..

I'm sure sales will boost big time. Since Redd is endorsing your and using your pedals

It's a shame for Durham Electronics

I didnt say at all that he endorses my products, and I dont need to boost sales big time. I'm one guy.. This pic was taken over beers with a pal of mine when he was visiting adelaide australia.

I'm certain Durham pedals are just fine workin with Mr. Volkaert, that has probably been a great blessing to both of em.

Well that's very deceptive of you isn't it.

I say when Redd endorses your product I'll buy em.

You show a picture of Redd with your pedal. With here's Redd.
