"WALK DON'T RUN" New with Flatwounds (Ventures)

[Phil.c]

Hi All,

When I was just a bit younger and into the Shadows stuff quite heavily, the Ventures did'nt get a look in, they in fact were looked at as almost "Second Class" NOT SO ::) After re-discovering their music, especially when analizing it, one realises how good they really were.

The early recording quality was not brilliant and i've tried to get close to the way they sounded then.

I've based my recording on the original 45 but a re-mastered mix. Roger from C.H's forum was kind enough to let me hear is original vinyl 45 which I was going to use but....as Roger has played it to death the quality was not good enough and I think he will agree with me on that
He also sent me the picture of his single.

So! Here's my bash at the Ventures Walk Don't Run, warts and all ;D

63 Strat, AC30H2, Fender Jazz Bass and BFD2 Drums.

I hope that the big Ventures fans will not be disappointed

I've re-recorded the lead with a different guitar, 12's and Flatwounds, also 57/62 FCShop pickups, it's still not a Jazzmaster and Fender amp but this is as far as I can go with a Strat and Vox

The bt has also been tweeked.

The links have been added to replace the old ones.

Where about are you, Phil?

I might be able to assist with your use of a Jazzmaster and Fender amp.

Feel free to PM a reply if you don't want to make your location public.
