I thought a bit dryer, western feel with the second guitar worked nice for the tune, and you do hear Tele's on the 60's Hot Rod recordings like the Del-Fi stuff. I'm playing a Jag, Bandmaster and tank for the reverbed guitar. Works great! The two interweaving guitar sounds compliment each other well, especially at moments like the shit-hot Bakersfield solo being played over the single-noted, heavily reverbed rhythm guitar. It's like Tommy Tedesco, or Glen Campbell, sitting in with The Ghastly Ones. And on that note, any chance of some Hot Rod-style customization of tunes, live or studio, from the aformentioned top-hatted band's catalog? — > Top

LongBoards Joined: Jul 30, 2007 Posts: 176 Spain	Posted on Feb 06 2013 03:24 AM Now reciently I was recording 13 Dragster songs...with DEL-FI records in my mind.. Yesterday in my home...i was listen this Band....and Wouou... Great Surprise too me...!!! It,s dificult to me..get the real DEL-FI tone in the songs...Usually i.m without a lot f Reverb in the unit... Less Mixer..and more Showman. But..yesterday i was listen a lot f Reverb in 57th Horseman sng...and get a lt f pwer...expecially in the Solo guitar..( a few seconds with a great POWER ENERGY). I THINK ..it,s the moment of Drag - Instro !! — http://www.facebook.com/pages/THE-LONGBOARDS-Surf-Band-Official-site/194481570589133 Top
shivers13 Joined: Jul 29, 2009 Posts: 2605 Boss Angeles, CA	Posted on Feb 06 2013 12:00 PM Thanks Alfredo! I think if you want that dryer twangy Del-Fi type Hot Rod sound a Tele is a good bet, although I believe they used Jags and JM's on some stuff too. I also believe they recorded that stuff at a lower volume than you would with a Showman, perhaps using much smaller amps. For Terry's track we used a Tele through a Vibrolux with just a hint of reverb so it wasn't bone dry.

websurfer Joined: May 14, 2007 Posts: 1746	Posted on Feb 06 2013 01:02 PM I can't stop listening to this---I love it! I've been listening to the Surf Nuggets comp pretty much exclusively lately, and this stacks up in the energy and excitement you create. I'm glad there are still bands that remember what makes this music so cool. Great playing all around, and the new guy nails the solo! Boss Fink is BOSS! Top

shivers13 Joined: Jul 29, 2009 Posts: 2605 Boss Angeles, CA	Posted on Feb 06 2013 02:00 PM The Ghastly Ones are on hiatus at the moment. Garrett is gone most of the year working on Walking Dead in Atlanta. But to be honest, this band is what I'm really into doing right now. It's something I've been wanting to do for a while because I get to play guitar full time. — BOSS FINK "R.P.M." available now from DOUBLE CROWN RECORDS! www.facebook.com/BossFink www.doublecrownrecords.com Top
