Haha!  That was great!  I like how you used the two pickups.  Always a fan of the wiggle stick!  What amp were you using?

Thanks, glad you liked it. I was washing my vehicle Saturday afternoon and took a short break and just did the short Jam and on the spur of the moment, decided to record it. The amp is a Revere Reel to Reel conversion combination of 5C3/5D3 Circuit with a hot switch and MV that Tubenit helped me with. Also Cab is DIY with a 10" Rajin Cajun. Platefire

Got to talk about that yellow box on the amp. It's a Boss Super Overdrive that a musician friend of mine modified. The other day he called me and said he was cleaning out old music stuff,  he had some old non-working stomp boxes he would never do anything with and ask if I wanted them---so I said yes! It was two Boss Super Overdrives and one old MXR stereo chorus.

So I just had to try them to see if there was any life left in any of them. The only one that fired up was one of the Boss Super Overdrives and sure enough it worked, the other two dead.  I got to jamming with the one working OD and got to noticing the distortion control is the same at the counterclockwise position or completely clockwise position--the control has no effect:>) So I just started using the guitar volume control
to control the distortion---that works pretty good. Anyway I love the sound of that box. I'm going to have to ask him what mods he did? Platefire
