Interview with John Chandler and Ted McCann by The Tone King
You can see full interview about new pedal boards by pedal train by visiting his YouTube channel

“Ted is always talking about cables because he makes them and is passionate about them. He told me he was working on a new wire for pedalboards and I was like, ‘I’m ready. Send it to me when you’ve got it.’ I’m always sceptical but when I got these things and I saw easy they were (they were the easiest thing to put together), they’re full proof in their design, they sound fantastic, and they work perfect. I am like, ‘Game over. You [Ted] just made a game changer.’
The only problem I have is that I can’t get enough of them.” John Chandler, Pedaltrain Founder

Eventide used Bullet Cable for cables and Pedaltrain for demo boards in their 2012 NAMM booth

“…This [guitar] has been my best friend since I was 9 years old. I have spent more time with this instrument than any human being.”
Paul Gilbert

Ted McCann, designer of all things Bullet Cable, has been asked to guest on their weekly spot, ‘Sound Advice’ hosted by Pieter Holland. Together they hope to answer the big question: What makes a good cable? This is an entertaining interview about the construction and durability factors of cable without the ‘snake oil claims’ that have confused even the seasoned tech and musician. The spot will focus predominantly on the time honored Silver Bullet Cable (introduced in 2004). Pieter recently put the the Silver Bullet to the test which included live play on tour this holiday season.

Ok.. I know what your thinking.. Here is another Guitar Cable review..
But it’s not.. I know you have heard all there is to know about Cable reviews but this one is going to be a little different due to the fact this Cable is different…Bullet Cable Review, Pieter Holland

Adeline, singer/bass player, recently got in touch to tell us of her upcoming gigs. She has been using the Bullet Cable Coil in white for all of her shows. She’s been using them since this past April when she guested onstage with Raphael Saadiq and he and his band were using them. Raphael, if you remember, honored us last year by using the cable on stage during his Grammys 2011 Award performance where he sang with legendary rock star, Mick Jagger. This year, Adeline is scheduled to be sitting in with The Roots at their Grammy party in LA.

“Just like my music, Bullet Coil Cables are cutting edge yet with a cool retro vibe.” ~Adeline, bassist

Adeline has been lead singer for “The Crowd”, has completed a disco project in another band called, “Escort” and is also doing solo performances singing and playing an update version of 70′s soul/funk.
Here’s some video of a rehearsal of her singing a cover of the Betty Bibb’s classic from the 70s, “Pounds Of Soul”.

This past weekend Adeline performed at the APAP convention in New York, the largest arts presenters conference in North America. In February, she’s been asked to headline at the 65th Anniversary gala at the United Nations.

Thanks Adeline for taking us along on your journey. You Rock!

We were lucky to get the tip when Adam wrote to us recently:

“Just wanted to let you know. Been enjoying my Bullet cables for 3 years now, and I get lots of compliments wherever we tour.”

Dynotones’ guitarist, Dan Moses and I hit the streets this week to do some vintage guitar shop hopping. First we hit Eagle Rock and visited Future Sound and then we blasted over to Chinatown and hung out for awhile in Caveman Vintage Music. Our goal was not only to look for records and rare gear finds, but to test some of the custom cables we have been creating from SLUGS and see how they would work with some vintage gear. As we sat around making C.V.M our own personal sound studio, we got to talking about making Surf style music.

“I learned how to play listening to Johnny Ramone. Although he didn’t play Surf music, for me learning Ramones songs helped me develop the heavy rhythm needed for playing on single strings. My first couple of bands were Ska and Punk. We played a few instrumentals and I always liked having some reverb to my sound. I really like Dick Dale for the shear reverb power.”

Taking influences of The Surfaris and The Lively Ones, Freddie King and Link Wray, Dan began to develop the fundamentals of instrumental music. Master? Dick Dale. “Once you’ve mastered the technique of heavy down strokes you’re for Miserlou!”

So what piece of gear is the core of that twang? “The Fender outboard reverb unit. You can almost sound like Duane Eddy with it!”
Is it essential to have old vintage gear? “Not at all. All the Fender re-issue guitars and amplifiers are more than adequate. Been using them for years and no one can tell the difference from the vintage gear.”

But really, what is the secret of playing Surf music live? “First, you want to play short, catchy, two minute songs. Be an entertainer and look at your audience.” And I added, get down those shoot em up freeze poses.

Dan’s Gear:

Hallmark Guitars – (4) 60 Customs, (1) Barris Krest
Amplifiers – Fender Vibrolux, Fender Twin Reverb
Pedals – Electro Harmonix Holy Grail, Fuzz-Rite by Sanner, Aqua-Puss delay by Way Huge
Strings – Gretcsh 11 gauge round wound
Bullet Cable

Dan Moses, thanks for hanging out man. You Rock! And, special thanks to the cool cats at Caveman Vintage Music in Downtown, LA.
