As far as I know in the Shadowy Men he just played straight into the amp - some sort of blackface Fender, I think. These days he's playing a White Falcon, mostly, into a Standell, plus a Keeley comp and some sort of tremolo and a Fender outboard reverb, plus I think a Boss DM-2. — http://www.reverbnation.com/thedeadranchhands http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZEW74mHjQk Top

Thanks for the info...I'm still trying to get to that beautiful nasty sound. I guess I need to turn the amp up to 11. Ah, Gretsch. I couldn't tell in the video I saw, just looked big and red. Standell is new to me, will check it out. — Shoot the Pier on Bandcamp Shoot the Pier on Reverb Nation Shoot The Pier on Facebook We are on Instagram under "@shootthepiersurfband" My Country EP ...

The range of the tremolo dips and the tone reminds me of a Strat. Brian also played a white Jazzmaster for a while. — http://www.reverbnation.com/thedeadranchhands http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZEW74mHjQk Top
Merlin Joined: Feb 03, 2011 Posts: 111 Brampton, ON	Posted on Feb 05 2011 11:00 AM The opening credits for Kids in the Hall always showed him with a Gretsch. According to a friend in Toronto, Brian plays every week at a club with his band "Ancient Chinese Secret." Gonna have to catch him there soon. Top

Oh how I love to hear those opening notes from Shadowy Men. Yes, I had some history with surf/instro music prior to them, but discoverying them through that show really had a huge impact on my future in music. — THE KBK ... This is the last known signal.

OFF TOPIC: Speaking of Kids in the Hall, an interesting interview with Dave Foley on Marc Maron's WTF podcast. I love this podcast, he has amazing interviews and still is able to bring his own neurotic personality into the conversation. http://wtfpod.libsyn.com/webpage/episode-146-dave-foley — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo I am now playing trumpet with Prince Buster tribute band 'Balzac' Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top
