Heres my gear that I used for the three Looney Tunes
albums.
my set-ups never changed much.
Guitars:
65 Fender Jaguar (main guitar)
additional guitars since 1st album
cheap ES 335 copy with Bigsby and Jaguar pick-up at
the bridge on Ghosttrain, I made an
ebony Coral-style sitar bridge for that one later
Framus archtop, solid spruce top, on the 3rd album
with Schaller floating pick-ups (Cruel
Sea, Ukraine)
Framus Strato 64 (on Swanlake, with Korean and
Japanese strat-pickups)
additional guitars since 2nd album
cheap but good Stratocaster copy (I changed the
pick-ups one by one, and the wiring is
now master tone and volume, with a switch for the
center pick-up). This one has the
Jaguar pick-up now. (Searchlights, Taboo, etc.)
Hopf dreadnaught acoustic (Der Ölprinz)
rhythm guitar player Kay let me play his Fender XII on
Wild Action, and his Höfner
Baritone (tuned to low E) on Der Ölprinz and Taboo
additional guitar since 3rd album
early 70s japanese tele-style guitar, with Les Paul
scale. I did several things to it, but the
mahagony neck, the onepiece solid ash body, the hot,
bright blade pick-ups and the
tuning machines are original. I saw a picture of the
Steely Dan guitarist with that one. I
added a Jazzmaster style tremolo from an italian made
Dynacord guitar. This one is on
Anatevka and 9000 Miles.
effects:
from 1st album on:
Kendrick reverb unit (pretty close to Fender)
Jim Dunlop Jimi Hendrix model Fuzzface (on Wayward
Nile etc.)
Boss digital delay stompbox
from 2nd album on:
Fuzz changed to JEN (Italy, looks like a Vox,
germanium transistors) on Kara Ben Nemsi
Effendi
Boss Chorus Ensemble for warbly Magnatone effect on
Backdoor and Zirkus
amps:
64 Fender Bandmaster (Celestion Speakers, now changed
to Naylor)
on third album additionally
GEM Venus (Italy, marketed as a keyboard amp in the
sixties) on the track Beyond The
Dune I played it stereo with the Fender. This amp
got lost in the soul-jazz debacle.
Thats it.
