Now You Can Hear it, Too

This blog was initially created to help people who were considering buying a Bolt Kit, and those who are looking for a little guidance on building said Kit. I think the greatest trouble most of us have with this is that we can't get a good idea of how it sounds and feels until we've invested a ton of time and money into it. This leeriness is something I'd like to remedy, as I would have loved for someone to do so for me before I bought mine. I can't show you what it feels like, although I promise that it plays like brotha in a caddy, but I can at least give folks an idea of the sounds I've gotten out of it.

So this is what I've done: Recorded a demo, tried to showcase the nuances of the various pickup settings, and posted it here for you to hear. Hopefully it will help you decide if you like the tone of one- the next best thing to being able to play it in a store before you buy it. Right click and select "Save Target As" to download it.
