AST HEAD Mk II & Cabinet Samples
 Lucian Rowland stops by Late Night, Tape Rolling...

Recently, we've been having a lot of fun up late night, jamming and laying down some tracks for Stephen Sellers looking to put something out this winter. We met Lucian Rowland (BIO) through Stephen and he's been a regular, dropping to play with Stephen and company. Michael has even been sitting in on the bass for a few live gigs in the area. While the Head and cab are making a trip to good friend Greg V soon, we rolled the tape with Lucian last week in between jamming, looking at old movies, and talking shop. Here's a sampling below of Lucian's musings on various guitars. We think you'll dig it just as much as ole Lucian digs the AST Head II!

REC: Rode NT1 and a Sure sm57 into Cubase | No effects added.
