Dude, I'm loving this album!! One of the best I've purchased in a long time. Hoping for more in the future! Any chance you'd share what some of the gear was used on the songs? Amps, tanks, guitars? —Peace to you, not on you Last edited: Aug 28, 2015 19:28:27 |

Yeah, I was going to ask Norm what effects he was using on the album as well. —Will "You're done, once you're a surfer you're done. You're in. It's like the mob or something. You're not getting out." - Kelly Slater |

Thank you very much, Diggey!! The set up for recording was... Fender of course! My gear was a'63 Olympic White Jaguar and a red re-issue Jag through a Fender tank into a '65 blackface Bandmaster. For the fuzz I used an Ed Sanner Mosrite Fuzzrite. Jeff played a Jazzmaster through a '65 Twin Reverb, and a Strat for the rhythm on a couple of songs, but mostly he used the JM. —BOSS FINK "R.P.M." available now from DOUBLE CROWN RECORDS! |

I teach driver's ed, and pretty much always subject my students to my music (I ain't listening to theirs!!!!). Had the CD going yesterday, and my student (17 yo female, in fact) out of the blue says "What music is this? I really like it!!! It reminds me of surfing, and the beach." Proceeded to explain the genre and who the band was. Trying to convert the youth, one kid at a time!!! —Will "You're done, once you're a surfer you're done. You're in. It's like the mob or something.

There's already too many Elvises - never seen a fake Wolfman. (I think it's a felony but not sure...) Wes DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices. |

Actually Norman, the Twin was on the fritz after I spilled a beer down the back of it. I picked up a '65 Bandmaster head that I played through the Twin cabinet. Nice radio set last night by the way. Didn't catch it all, but really dug what I did hear. |
