MattZ Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 not much new. oh well. rock on. This is new to me (thanks!): He also takes a Relic Les Paul with a Bigsby tremolo on the road along with his 1954 Gibson J-45 acoustic. His other acoustic guitars are a pair of Breedloves, a Martin 00-21 from the 1930s, and a 1972 Martin D-12. Plus he Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dondoboy Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Thanks for the link. That was fairly informative, especially the pedal board lists. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
groovingdan Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I've had the Freakshow Brown Rabbit for the past couple months, didn't know Jeff uses it as well. It's a great pedal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DiscountSounds Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Cline has a small amp set-up, with a Tim Schroeder DB-7 powering a Marshall 4x12 offset cabinet. WANT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 That was interesting. No details on Pat's stuff though. I never noticed Jeff playing Tele's I guess. I do love that Blue SG with the Bigsby that he plays. Out of all his electrics, that would be the one I want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Smokestack Joe Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 yes the Blue SG is badass, never seen one in that color so it must be Custom. im been on this search for a good Gain/Boost pedal and the Freakshow Brown Rabbit is interesting.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Jeff played a Strat in Knoxville on one song. I can't remember which song it was, and I don't recall seeing him play a Strat at any other show. Anyone have any details on the Strat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone have any details on the Strat?Ill post a pic later, just got back...It was an old black USA strat maple neck with a round red WFMU sticker...sure it was vintage, although kind resembled those 'reliced' ones they hock these days The Les Paul Jeff has is a flamed tiger maple standard with bigsby, he used it on Boxfull of letters Nels has a new (i think) Jaguar, silver with silver headstock, with a charlie christian pickup at the neck...dont know if the pic came out, Jeff saw me take it and i felt silly, considering the horrible and inattentive crowd tonight I believe that Nels also is now using 2 kaoss pads, not 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mfwahl Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 It makes me kind of angry when people act like Nels saved Wilco or something. Jay's playing was simple but to me also more accessible.You're misreading the quote. They said quantum leap, not save. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I realize it's just the lighting but it looks like the gunmetal blue strat I own. Do you remember what song he used the strat for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In a little rowboat Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Unless someone from Wilco told them otherwise, it's pretty sad that Gibson can't even date their own guitars based on obvious visual clues. The J-45 is a '55, best case, since that's the first year for the batwing pickguard. I've never seen him play a J-45 with the teardrop PG common to the model from '42 - '54. Good observation! Id have to say that sadly dating gibsons exactly is often impossible...serials get murky before the '60's, and many models ended up getting made from what ever parts and materials they had at the time...ive owned Js, lgos and B-25 models guitars from the same era that each had different pickguards, neck blocks and bracing... Based on what ive encountered, it isnt far fetched to think that jeff's '54 might not have left the factory until '55 with the new pickguard...or the pickguard was retrofitted during the later fifties seeing as how he was not the original owner... The article in question was actually much better than i thought it would be, although nothing but slick marketing...i mean look how much it has gotten us to talk about gibsons...it is interesting, im sure they winced at having to even mention Nels's fenders Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I guess it all comes down to the FON on the neck block which probably isn't even legible. I had a '56 J-45 with a FON that was all but gone except for the V and most other J-45s and SJs I've seen from the mid 50's seem to have the same problem... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
