When it's all done and finished please post up the process, how it went, and a good video of the sound.

 

You'll have a great time, it's a crazy environment a live show with the band.

I definitely will.

Note, Hans finally posted the Gibson Les Paul junior Cherry Red Doublecut is a 1959 named "Chico", I still have the RS mag issue where Billie is wielding it, even though oddly enough It has almost always been used by Jason White and is in his guitar boat.

Anyone noticed the different amp setup at the EMA? Seems different compared to the setup they mainly used for the first leg of the RR tour.

I picked up a blues driver yesterday. I like to think it's because I tried it out and it sounded rad with my VOXAC30 but deep down I think we all know it's because Billie has one :lol:

That's just a backdrop if you want to call it that. All of those cabs are duds except one for Billie's stage/feedback cab.

Always rare to see Billie break a string live. Last time I saw this was in 2009 on Blue.

If you saw the 2013 reading performance, he broke a string on his Les Paul Custom during waiting and threw the damn thing into the wall  of the pit:lol:

Can anybody tell me what pickups he uses in his sunburst strat. From the Basket Case Bullet In A Bible video it's got a black humbucker with two single coils.

Ik this question is 2 yrs old, but it's a jb.

He actually didn't break a string, the low E string wasn't staying in tune and you can see him messing with the tuners.

The blues driver and tuner(maybe a channel switcher) is all you need!

Any pics to confirm this? the only red les paul from AI was a special (singlecut) that was sold to somebody who made a video about it on Youtube, lol he was trying to convince people it was used to record the album xD

Oh CHICO! tuned to eb too, I can't take the beauty xD. and honestly I think the cherry DC juniors are the worst of all the colors from the 50s juniors, but the one's that have stayed a brighter cherry red over the years are starting to win me over

Everyone frequenting this thread should totally check out Billie's latest magazine interview with Guitar Player if you haven't already. It gave a really good run down of what he's been using lately, what he recorded with and lots of good stuff. Admittedly, reading that was probably the first time I've really read/heard Billie talk "tech" - Normally I read about Mike's setups way more but don't bother with anyone else. But it was very informative. :happy:
