Buckethead.jpg


Buckethead plays a modified Gibson that has a cut switch installed.. The video below is a bit annoying but you get the jest on how it works.. I don't think I've ever seen any other guitarist use this type of switch before..



A little more mellow solo..

J.J. Cale`s Harmony H165

"My favorite guitar is this old fifty dollar Harmony, now backless for easier access to the electronics. Originally it was a round hole acoustic, but I've added five pickups for making records and playing concerts. Four of the pickups are Gibson, two of which are low impedance for recording direct. The other bar type pickup came from a Sears Silvertone guitar, it was manufactured by Dano Electro. The guitar has three high impedance outs and one low."

^^ A couple of great bits of kit Slip and Garrett, two musos at opposite ends of the style spectrum I reckon :).. top stuff. :cheers2

Mick Box another big fan of the old Les Paul's and IMO a remarkable player. He gets some incredible sounds from his guitars.

^^ I think he has an array of guitars Nolo but I'm sure he states the Gibson Les Paul as his favourites, mind you I reckon he'd get a good sound out of knicker elastic. :D

His instruments were extensively altered and sometimes built by hand to create unique sounds. In Morphine, he played primarily a two-string slide bass guitar usually tuned to a fifth, but he also was known to play a unitar (named after the one-stringed instrument in American blues tradition), and three-string slide bass with one bass string and two unison strings tuned an octave higher (usually A). He sometimes paired bass strings with one or two guitar strings, creating the "basitar" "tri-tar" and "guitbass.

"I don't know why I picked this bass, maybe 'cause it was so... freaky lookin', I suppose."
