Rebecca Dirks is still my favorite at PG... I've always loved and appreciated the way she asks questions and then gives them room to answer without walking on them or cutting them off.
This guy has an awesome job. And he is very knowledgeable, don't believe for a second he doesn't know how to solder. Great personality kudos my friend!
"What do you do when you have 2 59 bursts to choose from" Classic line! Hey, at least they get played to lots of people, as they should be, and not stored in a case by some art dealers!
I went to school (SUNY Tech.) in Utica NY, in '92-'93, when local "favorite son" Joe was 13, and just coming to the attention of national audiences. Many of the local DJs (WOUR, The Rock of Central New York) described this "kid" playing with the likes of BB King and John Lee Hooker. Great to see Joe going stronger than ever (now that he doesn't have to stop practicing in order to get his homework done) 20 years later.
It's normal from those cats. This cat prolly says it more than other cats but I've been known to sprinkle "cats" throughout my mono/dia logues quite frequently as well. Most Players in LA and Pickers in Nashville have been known to do the same
I own now the cab on the very right with the water mark,,’69 with pre Rola 25W t1511 greenies,best sounding cab i own,,seen your shows,,you’re amazing Joe
I like it better when Joe did the interviews Because it made you feel like he was an average person taking the time to give an interview and was more personal. But also he knows every little detail about his gear that his tech does not.

Fisrt Bonamassa's rig rundown that i've seen without him (and i've seen a lot of them). But still awesome. Great stuff. Great tech. Great interview.
@crank bait, he is using the Supa Trem as a clean/tone boost and engaging the hard/soft switch to turn on the Trem. If you look at the mix knob, it is almost at zero. It's a trick that really makes the tone sparkle as your base tone. Mike Fuller writes about it in schematic sheet that comes with the pedal. Hope that makes sense.
Nice. Joe was here in Springfield, Illinois at UIS on his birthday, May 8, 2012. I just got back from reliable guitar techs a 1932 National Duolian, case and all willed to me. They straightened the neck and lowered the bridge for easy regular playing or open tune slide. Also, have my 1971 Gibson Les Paul Gold top w/mini humbuckers and a Gray Marshall Jubilee half stack. Missed him in Manila. Wife Filipino. So, it's a small world sometimes. Thank you.
Its amazing that even the best use what I found out decades ago. Cranked clean channel, just breaking up, stick a Tube Screamer infront and if you really want chug, a mid boosted EQ infront of the screamer, thats it! Does not even need to be tubes, I once had an Gate-> EQ -> Tube Screamer going into a Roland Jazz Chorus 120 ( yes, you heard that right ), cranked, with the awful distortion circuit on half way, to actually break it up and wow, what a tone, you would never have thunk it! Even the best amp distortion channels/rectifiers are always synthetic to the ear! Mesa Tremoverb is the best I have heard cranked on its blues channel
As weird as this seems to say the tech is either hiding secrets or misspoke about getting all the gain from the tubescreamer. Most of joes drive actually comes from the amp (what do you expect from a Marshall or marshalls on 8-10, that’s way past the point of breakup.)
well, i saw joe in Freiburg/Germany this year...it was pretty awsome...and back then he uses the 51 Tele ;-) I love his guitars and of course his music!
lol I saw Joe last month & you can say he's a guitar nerd all you want but the guy is an absolute monster guitar player. Modern day guitar hero, guy has it down pat.
i agree, the original rundown back in the day was a good one, now we have this shit fest cos it's not even joe doing the rundown how about we rename this video "Rig Rundown - Mike Hickey" Cos that rolls off the tongue DUH!
Dude, That's almost exactly how I set my Marshall JCM 2000, except I'm splitting the signal to my Orange TH30 2x12. Nice tone! That's what really catches my ear is the really great guiatr tone! Now I just need a few 59 Les Pauls!!!!! hint hint
Iv been reading the comments and I actually think its kinda cool I could go by Joe's rig pretty much and Gc lol in the end he still sounds like joe to me
Mike said, "They were having trouble with the copper..." That was reference to the Fuzz Face. Any ideas what trouble Dunlop had with the copper? Was it functional trouble?
I recall the days Joe used to play Patrick Gigliotti's Strats and Tele's and he sounded fantastic on those. That was of course before Gibson lured him across....
that firebird is coollthe gift. I have hamer standard , hand made around 1980 that I'll let him use if I can come to shows close to south east ohio..he can use it. It's not modified. Bill Crook the owner of Crook Custom Guitars just went over it for me. He said the lo e slot on the nut was a bit worn but other wise perfect. He is a great friend. It doesn't have the old gibson pick ups though. Double Dimarzio. It's a beautiful guitar and very easy to play. thin neck. Joe probably likes fat necks. It is a sweet guitar though. I'll loan it for a year or so. I would love it.
He's talking about the song 'Yonder's Wall' which Joe uses that guitar on. He's just saying how the song has song Miles Davis influence in it and finds that guitar best.
don't type a lot here. Nobody cares this stuff anymore. Don't be like dinosaurs. 1. But a DJ mixer 2. Press Play 3. buy a bottle of beer 4. put your hand on any knob of that dj mixer 5. Drink beer and shake Result: You are a star!
have any of you ever worked as a stagehand along side some of the techs? many times ive heard others ask a tech something about an artists gear or sound and they would give sarcastic answers. i remember Dino Cazares' tech telling one guy he tunes to Q. lol.
@@yobhsiFehT hes nothing special, imho, gary moore on the other hand....... now theres a real deal legend,sadly gone too soon..... with , tone, vibrato, phrasing, EVERYTHING!!!! gary was really, really special.x

Rebecca Dirks is still my favorite at PG... I've always loved and appreciated the way she asks questions and then gives them room to answer without walking on them or cutting them off.
Plus guys would give longer answers to try to impress her. Weirdly, John Bohlinger sometimes has a similar effect.
She was way cool with me and I appreciated her listening even more.
Yeah but she's gone and has been gone a while
I could listen to this guy all day long. Great Job Rebecca, you're good at this.
Wow congrats to Joe. A lot of hard work he's also very lucky to be able to possess those instruments.
This guy has an awesome job. And he is very knowledgeable, don't believe for a second he doesn't know how to solder. Great personality kudos my friend!

Mine's a 77 tobacco sunburst.
New drinking game. Take shot everytime the tech says "I don't know"
I blacked out for like a day or two
I blacked out for like a day or two
or better still "CATS"
This is amazing. It's like a museum. Great tech by the way, and great interview by Rebecca of course.
one of the best rig rundowns in a long time
I love Joe. Saw him live in November. What a show!
A company called Historic makes Gibson Historic LP's more Historically correct? Jesus.
Hahahaha!
‘Historic Makeovers’
According to history yes

if i had a dollar for every time this guy says cats i could afford a 1959 Les Paul myself

Saw him last night in Brighton uk. Best gig of my life glad I saw his tech as well
rebecca should do all the rig rundowns

I think we ALL want to see that!
Tech definitely graduated from Guitar Center university of BS-ing
Great work, and great sound recording.
Mike does a great job explaining everything.
This is like a hundred Joe Bonamassa guitar rig review on youtube! Still awesome!
Mike, my man - that was absolutely INCREDIBLE! As always - simply the best! Thank you so very much and I'll see you soon! - Your pal, John
She is hotter than all Joe's guitars and amps together.
Minou Talbi-Boualem Rebecca Dirks?
Of course! not the cool nerdy cat.
other cool nerdy cat is Joe bonamassa's guitar tech
Minou Talbi-Boualem wrong
Hotter than a 59Lp? Ha, your on glue.
Love the guys EVH striped hat
he's a guitar tech who can't solder.... just let that sink in for a second... :|
+Bad Motivator In addition he's one of those guys who you have to fight yourself not to just smack ...a real difficult personality ...
i scrolled down to comment on the same thing wtf. soldering is like coloring with crayons its so easy

I want an updated version and see the V. Such a killer story from that
The good old days brought to you by rebecca dirks😊.
Soldering is something I do a lot!! I’ve fixed my guitars when needed :) or changing tone caps etc.
lol I saw Joe last month & you can say he's a guitar nerd all you want but the guy is an absolute monster guitar player. Modern day guitar hero, guy has it down pat.
😅😢
seeing joe on saturday!!!!! cant wait!
i am madly in love with rebecca dirks!!!
Retromusic forever - great job Mike!
Rebecca is a brilliant interviewer. Bring her back
I've been waiting for this so damn long! Thank's PG!
Red wine and Lester Paul's, could live with that.
joe´s awesome guitars and rebecca.... dream rig rundown
Dream job
You guys should try to do an updated Bonamassa rig rundown with the tweed rig. Also maybe get Joe to talk a little bit as well.
i agree, the original rundown back in the day was a good one, now we have this shit fest cos it's not even joe doing the rundown
how about we rename this video "Rig Rundown - Mike Hickey"
Cos that rolls off the tongue DUH!
THEY DID! :-)
I remember when I saw him in Boston a few years back, he pulled out a Korina Flying V for the encore. It looked and sounded delicious....
That guy was really cool and very open. Excellent rundown.
lil wayne rig rundown pls
"this is my Walmart child's guitar"
Dude, That's almost exactly how I set my Marshall JCM 2000, except I'm splitting the signal to my Orange TH30 2x12. Nice tone! That's what really catches my ear is the really great guiatr tone! Now I just need a few 59 Les Pauls!!!!! hint hint
the theory of more is less? Love Joe's work and the scope of his collections
I love the Skinner Burst..but "The Runt" is my fav.
I just realised I was using data....
Alex Hooi lmao your profile picture makes this comment even better
That's my expression
It's been two years. Did you turn your WiFi on yet?
Rebecca is worth it. so....
Iv been reading the comments and I actually think its kinda cool I could go by Joe's rig pretty much and Gc lol in the end he still sounds like joe to me
The double neck is now at Norm's rare guitars for sale!
Can't decide what I'd rather get my hands on, Rebecca or one of those '59's
Wow.... JCM2000 DSL? Not what I expected... But very cool. Very peculiar EQ settings on that!
What happened to Rebecca? Havent seen her on PG for quite awhile now.
As far as the guitars go?
Yes!!!!
:)
First time I've seen his rig run-dwon without a Silver Jubilee. That was the one amp that was always on.
Gotta love those bursts!
Haha Mike Hickey, he signed me up on the guest list for Carcass when he played with them in 94 =)
He's using .11s, so putting wrapping them in this way relieves a little bit of string tension. I use .10s and did it for a bit and they felt like 9s.
"A real 60s screw". I'd like that too.
not gonna lie , Rebecca is why I subbed
dammit she has a ring on her left finger! My dreams have been dashed
Totally agree about the Jazz III picks.
Mike said, "They were having trouble with the copper..."
That was reference to the Fuzz Face. Any ideas what trouble Dunlop had with the copper? Was it functional trouble?
That is a very interesting setup with the JCM's using no EQ but a tiny bit of mids. If it works it works though.
I recall the days Joe used to play Patrick Gigliotti's Strats and Tele's and he sounded fantastic on those. That was of course before Gibson lured him across....
Lmao.. 14:41 This guitar stays in tune incredibly. It goes into tune on its own almost.
And yes, I know.. old vid
Great guitar presentations some similarities, thus some better playing than others.
Matter of choice and quality.
the pick-guard on that 66 cherry 335 is effing huge!
I love this vid...this guy is awesome.
I've soldered a million things and I'll admit that I suck at soldering. It's a skill that some people just aren't good at.
I got an autograph from Joe in the back patio of the Baked Potato after he played there, I didn't know I was in a guitar holy land! :)
that firebird is coollthe gift. I have hamer standard , hand made around 1980 that I'll let him use if I can come to shows close to south east ohio..he can use it. It's not modified. Bill Crook the owner of Crook Custom Guitars just went over it for me. He said the lo e slot on the nut was a bit worn but other wise perfect. He is a great friend.

I'll loan it for a year or so. I would love it.
I miss the days when Joe would do his own Rig Rundowns.
I miss when Joe would walk us through it himself and play!
jesus christ this guy has some priceless gear!
really wanna know what gears did you use for the intro of premier guitar at 0.01 - 0.07 , I very like it
Such a cool guy
He's talking about the song 'Yonder's Wall' which Joe uses that guitar on. He's just saying how the song has song Miles Davis influence in it and finds that guitar best.
I keep looking at her instead of the guitars. Just adorable.
don't type a lot here. Nobody cares this stuff anymore. Don't be like dinosaurs.
1. But a DJ mixer
2. Press Play
3. buy a bottle of beer
4. put your hand on any knob of that dj mixer
5. Drink beer and shake
Result:
You are a star!
Nice Tech!! Usually they are rude and indifferent but this guy was cool.
Finally!
Thank you camera person, for a Rebecca Dirks fest.
Now that's a vault!!..wow
You guys should do the rig rundown for Courtney cox and Nikki Strauss from the iron maidens.
have any of you ever worked as a stagehand along side some of the techs? many times ive heard others ask a tech something about an artists gear or sound and they would give sarcastic answers. i remember Dino Cazares' tech telling one guy he tunes to Q. lol.
My old guitar teacher was sponsored by alverez and had a couple beautiful sounding ones.
I’ve never heard a bad one. The $200 dreadnaught plays like a $800 Taylor.
He knows how to solder, don't think for a second that Joe would have a tech that didn't.
Yeah she certainly is!!
Bring back Rebecca
Sweet Rebecca, you forgot to ask where Joe stashed the cold beer.
Pedals start at 29:50.
Pedals at 29:50
Yeaaahhhh! Awesome.
Does anybody know what gear was used to record the Premier Guitar intro clip? amazing sounding
One word for this guitar rig: Indulgent.
see also, Joe's playing ;) :P
Dude, you spelled awesome wrong...
@@yobhsiFehT hes nothing special, imho, gary moore on the other hand....... now theres a real deal legend,sadly gone too soon..... with , tone, vibrato, phrasing, EVERYTHING!!!! gary was really, really special.x
@@robertneil2538 I’ve never cared much for Gary Moore either, which might help explain why I don’t love Bonamassa 🤷🏼♂️ lol
@@yobhsiFehT sorry m8, no aggro, intended, i just wanted to get a comment in!!! sorry!!!.
i understood the story, but the tittle was something different :P
thank you very much my friend :)

yes.
Awesome
