Hi, it is a great riff isn’t it. I almost always have my Fender Bass-breaker on the mid gain channel with the gain around 3/4, just feel it allows me to get a fairly clean tone if I want, or more dirt if I dig in. The Bass-breaker seems to get mixed reviews but I love mine and have got on with it much more than I have with some considerably more expensive amps.
Not a bad idea that! Kossoff’s vibrato is quite something. We’ve been chatting about a Kossoff episode and Steve’s been hanging back as he can’t pull of a convincing Kossoff vibrato. Yeah, thanks for the idea. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
@@TheBluesBox You're welcome. I've got a bit of a vibrato, which is okay but not spectacular. It seems a very personal thing, people's hands/wrists work differently, but I'd live to hear thoughts on how to increase the power of my "vibrato engine". 🙂 There isn't another Paul Kossoff just us mortals, but that doesn't mean we haven't got some helpful thoughts on the subject, right?
@@000Angus000 Couldn’t agree more, and one technique is not necessarily better, just different, but there are ways to position the hand to get more or less vibrato and even the classical technique, not to mention string gauge can affect things etc… we’ll chat about this one and get it on the list 👍
I see you top wrap your bridge. I've been doing that on my SG for the last year. I think it makes the strings a bit slinky and bends easier. Probably something to do with the break angle. Your thoughts?
Hi Jeff here replying on Steve’s behalf. It’s a Les Paul Special which come this way with the tail and bridge all in one wraparound bridge unit, rather than the two piece type more common on a Les Paul and a bazillion other guitars. Do you too wrap yourself? How do you find it?
Nice 👍
Thanks Hammo
Hi Steve, thanks a lot for this tasty riff! Question: how did you get this wonderful lightly overdriven sound? (effects, amp?)

Thanks for your reply. It is a great sound, indeed.
Maybe a Kossoff inspired vibrato discussion on ways to upgrade average vibrato?
