fender cyclone

katz-karnaby Joined: Oct 25, 2006 Posts: 26 Tucson Arizona	Posted on Nov 09 2006 11:08 AM I was browsing the internet and came across the Fender cyclone. It is advertised as having Jaguar pickups. If I showed up to a surf gig wearing one would I be laughed out of the place? Have any of you tried it and what do you think? Top

The only time I saw one 'in the flesh' was when Rory from the infrareds played one. I must say totally disliked his tone then, buthe was playinga orrowed amp so maybe he had trouble dialing in. anyone knows if he used it recording, the infrareds cd's have killer guitarsound imo. Im toying with the idea of getting a squier cyclone for cheap and upgrade it a tad for rhytm guitar purposes.

I know he used to have a handful of nice guitars - I think he got rid of his old Mosrite, but I know he recently got a reissue, and I've seen him play with Jags and Jazzmasters in the past. My guess is he used a little bit higher-grade gear for the recordings. ~B~ Top
