I used to play in a band where the rhythym guitar player used a Les
Paul - it sounded so "full" that it seemed to overwhelm my strat, and
it was kind of difficult to hear the leads. Personally I think that
the old Fender Mustangs make great rhythym guitars when a
stratocaster is used for leads. They don't have the cutting tone of
the strat, but sound smooth and clear playing chords. Casey

I found some pick ups can help here as well. I use Joe Bardon pick ups in a
Korean Telecaster and the control I get over the natural bell tone of a Tele is
remarkable, rythym playing is very smooth on the neck pickup when the tone dial
is used and mids on most fender amps are below center. If you are with 2 or 3
others, flip to bridge pic up and the bright twang will swell above the others.
For a tremelo, I have a bigsby single spring custom fit. Its a cheap Tele with
great parts and can be used for both rythym or lead with minimal effort to
switch between. I want to use a texas special pickup in the middle one day to
see how that sounds.

my first learning experience with someone else's equipment was a strat
with a marshall stack against against a strat into a vibraking.
without previous knowledge i couldn't understand why my sound sucked
(yeah, part of it was from being a beginner) but he got the reverb
drips and i didn't.......then when we started playing out he used a
boutique 'bruno' amp which would completely drown out my deluxe
reverb. at least no one could hear my mistakes (or the bass or the
drums or his off key voice)
I played a Bruno is a store once, I liked it. Also I'm going to check
out the Rivera amps.

-the one my friend has is a 22W and it is loud. it's got heaps of
reverb. he payed a pretty penny for it, i think about $3500

After a LOT of years, a lot of bands, and a lot of different equipment
set-ups, I've found myself going back to the basics that I started
with in the 60's......A Mosrite Ventures model ( Japanese repro, with
original US made pick ups and electronics, a Fender RI reverb tank,
and a '65 Bandmaster with a 2x12 cabinet for small-medium sized
venues, and a '64 Showman with a single JBL 15" and a tone ring
cabinet for the larger and outside gigs. I've found that all of the
other things I tried, while maybe slightly better in one way, were
never totally the equal of the original. I imagine that Dick Dale can
afford to have ANY set up he wants, but is still using the same set-up
he's used for years.....If it ain't broke.......... --- In, "holyreveb" <holyreveb@y...> wrote:

I work as an Eng. in music technology so I'm a high tech gear geek.
My solo acoustic rig is a mass of MIDI controllers. When I did The
Woodies it's was trad, not so much as compression pedal.
This time around I want a solid Surf tone but I really like the
artistic freedom of a band like the Mermen or Pollo Del Mar enjoy. So
I'm experimenting with effects, tone , etc., while keeping it Surf.
