Most of today was spent doing guitars which can be a lot of fun, but can also be quite frustrating. Okay, let’s get the nerdlinger, “gear” part out of the way. I used two amps, run simultaneously (that means “at the same time”). One was my 1965 Fender Bassman and the other was Yamiv Finklestein’s Orange, running through Josh Morris’ Bandmaster box.

They both sounded like we were playing at Wembley. We had quite a lot of problems with noisy pedals and amps. I think something in the wiring of the studio was giving it an extra “buzz”. Anyhoo, we got through those little problems and proceded to rock. I layed down guitars for pretty much all the songs, with my favourite being Wrecking Ball. I used my trusty Rickenbacker for that.

Nothing much more to tell… the new Jazzmaster got used on a couple of the more “indie” sounding tunes. While the SG was used on Got Your Hooks In, for that “AC/DC meets the Pixies” feel.
