Purchased Dune Buggy, great stuff. You guys need to do a rig run down. I hear a B-Bender and Baritone in the stuff from "in the Studio"

Hey All,
In your request for a rig rundown, here is what I generally use for recording and gigs.

I play an American Standard Tele with a Parsons/White Bender installed. It is not vintage as I purchased it new about 16 years ago. Completely stock except for the bender and Sperzel locking tuners. It is what I use 90% of the time.

I have a '57 reissue Strat that has somewhat new Dimarzio (Area 57?) pickups installed. I use that the other 10% of the time.
The baritone stuff is played on a Fender Blacktop Baritone tuned B to B. Completely stock.

My main amp is a Custom Fender Vibrolux Reverb. Purchased new in '98. It has had a fair amount of modifications by Frommel Electronics to add more headroom and improve the reverb and the vibrato. It is loaded with Celestion G10 speakers. It is the only amp in both records.

I sometimes also use either a '68 Bassman head or a '67 Bandmaster head run into a Nerby cabinet with a Warehouse Guitar 12" speaker.

For effects I use compression, a reissue Fender '63 Reverb unit or a Boss '63 Reverb pedal depending on the schlep factor. I also always leave a Boost pedal on to push the amp a bit more. A little delay as well, always on. I have a Ventilator pedal for rotary effects and a Tube Screamer for dirt.

That's a lot but that's pretty much it.

Glad you all are enjoying the music. Please spread the word and keep in touch. Keith

I like your Monkees covers too!

Just saw THIS on bandcamp today.

Just have Dune Buggy a listen over breakfast as soon as the wife left this morning. I put the dog out on the porch since he hates loud music. That left me free to crank the B Breakers while I drank my coffee - what a twang rush! I’m really impressed by this record which may be the strongest guitar record I’ve heard in many months. The playing is so dynamic and focused, and style very mature yet not the least stodgy. Very inspiring. I’ll share the link and hope to heck you are coming to the West coast sometime soon. I could see a double bill with the Insect Surfers or The Sadies. World class guitar slinging!

Squink Out!

Not even all the way through the first tune of the album and man, it's blisterin'!

BB, do you live in LA? I’m looking for a bassist who wants to do something Bakersfieldy-Burbankish.

Sorry to have to bear disappointing news, but these guys Surf the other ocean. They harken from the city that never sleeps, or at least the immediate surrounding area.

It could be worse, imagine being a Surf music fan whom has lived in Minnesota, Colorado and Arizona. There might be some waves to Surf in Lake Superior and I guess you could torture the definition of surfing into covering skiing the Colorado Rockies, but the only thing one can Surf in my current digs are the Dust Devils.

Keep looking, my friend. There are Surf Music fans hiding in places you’d never expect to find them. Players are out there too.

Hmm, Colorado, Minnesota, even Arizona...nah, there's never been any legendary bands from those states, not even in the 60s!!!...

All kidding aside, Bakersfield Breakers, I am thoroughly enjoying checking you guy out!

We're really glad you like the record!

Thanks for all the info Keith. I my main guitar for years was a tele with a Forrest Lee Jr. B Bender installed. Best of luck in 2018. really enjoying the blend of music on the cd's.

Hey All,
Been a little while since I've been on the site but I wanted to post a video of my band The B Breakers playing the tune Nashville West back in December. Just click on the link in this post and you should be able to see it. We hope you enjoy it. Thanks!
