Quick and dirty soundcloud recording. It's got some poke in that humbucker but the 9-42 set isn't what I'm used to so here's one take, sloppy as hell and I got confused towards the end, played a huge bum note and gave up. But you get the idea.

EDIT: uploaded the drum track only, hang on ...

Houston, we have a problem! Whoever set this thing up did just about the worst job I've ever seen. To top it all, there's a sloping metal bar on the locknut which needs to angle up towards the fingerboard. Some genius has removed it and put it back on the wrong way round, thereby making the scale length about a sixteenth of an inch longer than it should be and guess what, the thing won't intonate to save its life. Sack it for now and dismantle the thing properly tomorrow!

FIXED and perfectly intonated, set of 10-46 on and it's growling away like a humbucker should. Need to look at the action and neck relief but that can wait, it's playable now.

Quick test ...
