Seymour Duncan is such a phenomenal company. They manufacture guitar pickups, and my beloved main strat, "Ella", has been decked out in duncans for years now. I while back, the neck position pickup on Ella died (constant gigging takes its toll), and I recently received a replacement as a gift. I wired the replacement up, and it sounded awful. Scooped and tinny, like something inside the pickup was mis-wound.
Well I just got off the phone with a friendly tech-support dude named Scott, and he was just like "huh. yeah that does sound weird. what kind of pickup do you need? OK, here, just send the one you've got to this address, and I'll get you another SSL-1 asap."
Awesome. Just plain awesome.
About Me
- De.Corday
- Charlote de Corday, a figure of the French Revolution, was a rebel against the rebellion, an individual in a war of sides. Charlotte de Corday has thus become my nom de guerre as an individual caught up in a world that speaks in borders rather than content. I am quite simply a student of philosophy and theories of government, a musician and a coffee addict, returned to my native urban New Jersey to find a place rapidly gentrifying, changing, growing--whatever you want to call it, only to move to Brooklyn and act as the other side of that coin. I am trying to make art after four years of academy, trying to feel for an ever elusive home... also trying to keep my car running. Trying to live and work and create in a way that each is copacetic to the other two. I currently write freelance and work for a newspaper in Lower Manhattan.
