Man, most of these cats in Nashville seem to be super chill and sound like they'd gladly get a beer with you before ripping your face off when they play on stage. Thanks for these rundowns. I've found out about music and players I don't know if I would've heard of if not for this TH-cam channel. Yeah baby!
I have been a die-hard fan of Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson and Chris Stapleton for a while now. Had no idea there was a connection, and that connection was a vintage loving nerd like me. This is awesome.
"I don't want a guitar that feels like a suit." Best line of the whole deal. (Watching this for at least the 3rd time, after seeing him live with Stapleton last week)
I get what he means but if you're wearing a nice good fitting suit its not stiff or so but comfortable. Not Joggers and hoodie comfortable but relatively. Imo its comparable to a guitar (and most other things): Get a cheaper/not well made one and its not gonna be fun to wear/play
Jesus. Everytime I hear Dave Cobb speak I just wanna' hang with him & record something. (Some day!) And everytime I hear a rock or rock/country record with a great sound that I really dig, I look it up and 9 times out of 10, Dave produced it. Rock on!
Top 3 Rig Rundowns...Nels Cline, Jason Isbell, and now Dave Cobb...such cool dudes. Would Love Love Love to see the rest of the WIlco guys get a Rig Rundown, or even better take a visit to the WIlco Loft, that would be epic!!
Tom Bukovac... I love that Tom's name has become music's Zelig... Can't wait to watch HIS interview. Also, this is one of my favorite Rig Rundowns, ever.
Listen to his production, the subtlety, passion & incredibly tasty sounds he got from focused simplicity on Jason Isbell’s Something More Than Free- genius level work all round
when I bought that 57 Esquire it was a 9.5 condition with the original hang tag. the cat I sold it to loved it up, and work the hell out. I ended up getting it back from him, and then Tom did a deal and got it from me. I'm glad he got it...and best to you.
Dave did some great work with the Wheeler Walker Jr album. Having that level of artist in the studio must of been intimidating for Dave. Having country royalty playing god's own music must of been a real experience for Dave. Not to mention having an Adonis the level of wheeler is just truly inspiring.
Been a huge fan of all the music this guy is responsible for in the last 4-5 years. I cannot believe how cool and laid back he is. I would love to hang out with this guy.
Premier Guitar, it's awesome you have them in mind and don't stop bugging them! I love the rig rundown videos it's a rare glimpse behind the scenes of all the live shows or in this case albums we get to see and hear! Keep up the good work!!
Dave is one of the most knowledgeable and approachable guys in the business, somewhat modest, although in person he does know he's one of the best. While I don't know him well, have worked with him, and every single time I hear him speak I learn something new..this was no exception. As another old salt in the industry, that is high praise from me!
thanks for the explanation on the 3 way switch on the esquire - always wondered. and so much other cool commentary. hey premier guitar, studio interviews are cool.
PLEASE ASK ABOUT STRINGS AND PICKS! The stuff any player can relate to. Awesome rundown and it's cool to hear them talk about gear most of us will never obtain but think about the average player.
A guitar geek that hasn't heard about the Menatone Red Snapper!?! BLASPHEMY! In all seriousness, love the records Dave works on and love anything to do with historic studios A & B.
Hey, this is the 2nd producer rig rundown in a row that Ive watched, and I never knew that these guys are such gear nerds! ...but they seem to have all the coolest stuff. Very interesting rig rundowns. New country doesnt happen to be my cup of tea, but I can definitely relate to an odd fuzz or an old Fender amp. Love it. Thanks and keep these coming.
This is one of the best ever. Best pedal selection too. Vox Tone Bender, MXR Phaser, Menatone Red Snapper, Jext Telez Dizzy Tone ( the best version imo) and Caroline Kilobyte...great taste and just happen to be pretty much all of my favorites.
@4:00 if you got "The Nashville Sound" on Vinyl, check out the inside cover, there's a picture of Jason grinning ear to ear with this guitar in his hands! Hope they sell enough for Jason to get that lovely guitar!!
Holy shit, what a cool surprise for Jay Buchanan to drop in...I opening for him and Joe Firstman about years ago...before Rival Sons and The Cordovas and man both were so supportive and positive!
You guys do the BEST STUFF! I am a fan of everything Dave does and this was a great great interview. I am going to make my guit player watch this if I have to sit hi ass down all clockwork orange style.
I didn't listen to country at all until I heard Metamodern. Then I listed to Southeastern. Then I started hearing stories about this Dave Cobb guy... genius or lucky, he's got some magic about him.
Fantastic RR. The Nashville guys have the great gear - great guitars and real, old fashioned valve amps. Interesting chat about vintage tele bridges @ 20 mins in - that's why Joe Strummer had to invent the "strum guard" - I've seen Springsteen using it as well - I guess it must be because he was using vintage teles (which makes sense).
I can vouch for that Kilobyte Delay (from Caroline Guitars) - you can add gain to the delays so they come out exactly as lo-fi as you want. Also the "chaos button" is amazing, I've ended many sets by just letting that rip and messing around with the settings... Nice to see it in a rundown!
I am pretty sure the front position on the esquire runs through a "bass" cap that warms up the tone. mine sounds a lot different in the front position than in the middle position with the the knob rolled back. I agree though about the versatility of those guitars. I love them.
This is a really great guitar geek video. The only thing that was killing me was how obsessed Mr. Cobb seemed to be about that elongated sideburn looking hair in front of his right ear.

Totally agree with the interviewer about going back to my favorite old albums and realizing their tone is not as dirty as I remembered it.
So true!!! I’ve made this same observation recently.
@@deaterk Glitch in the matrix ....Berenstein or Berenstain Bears? How do you remember it?

Nothing better than sitting down to see a 40+min rundown like this. Pouring a drink and settling in! :)
Story of our lives!

Great interviewer, talks just enough and has the right timing!

This is awesome. Isbell, Stapleton, and Simpson are some of my favorite artist right now. Great rig rundown.
Couldn't agree more man, same here. Cool to see Dave's gear as well.
Dave Cobb

Right on my friend !!!!
Finally, someone who knows what he's talking about. If I had to pick I'd go with Nels. Or Cobb. Or Isbell.
"this place was designed when people were alot smarter than they are now" wow, some of the most profound words ever
Tom Bukovac... I love that Tom's name has become music's Zelig... Can't wait to watch HIS interview. Also, this is one of my favorite Rig Rundowns, ever.
Never heard of this fella, but this was a great RR!
Fonzy Brookestone go listen to Rival Sons
Dan Sotelo Rival Sons are awesome!!
Listen to his production, the subtlety, passion & incredibly tasty sounds he got from focused simplicity on Jason Isbell’s Something More Than Free- genius level work all round
Man, this guy is so laid back and humble! Really enjoyed this rundown and learned quite a bit too. Some beautiful guitars too :-) Thanks!

this dude is SPOT ON.
- I share that love of a modded / weird, or wonky but still beautiful old guitar

Best rig rundown so far! Do sturgill Simpson and laur joamets rig next!!!!
We want to! Last tour it didn't work out, but not for a lack of trying on our end!
Premier Guitar, it's awesome you have them in mind and don't stop bugging them! I love the rig rundown videos it's a rare glimpse behind the scenes of all the live shows or in this case albums we get to see and hear! Keep up the good work!!
dierksmanly sturgill is the man
Premier Guitar A year later I still want to see it! 😂🤦🏻♂️🙃
Derek Adams 3 years later and I just want to know what pedal Sturgill runs through that Tele

This is one of my favorite RR's of all time, when he turned the amp upside down I lost it. lol
Didn't even know who he was before this but this has been my favourite so far. Good job!
thanks for the explanation on the 3 way switch on the esquire - always wondered. and so much other cool commentary. hey premier guitar, studio interviews are cool.
Suddenly a wild Jay Buchanan appears... Literally one of the best singers around right now, blows everyone away live
Wearing a flight suit no doubt. He is my #1 right now and my man crush. He and Scott.
Count Von D and Bollinger
I've got to get my arse to nashville one day. It's the one place I want to go when I go on a holiday to the usa
I know nothing about this guy....What a great dude. This may have been the best RR I've seen.
love the conversation guys... can't get enough of rig rundown
Great rundown, fantastic way to start the new year off.
Fantastic rundown, Dave is literally a genius.
Nice job John, great run down! Awesome studio and produce that is making authentic records, love it!
One of the best one of these I've seen, seems like such a sound individual.
I was able to go to a session the other day at RCA studio A. Was so cool to stand in there!!’
Good grief....this is right after i sold my '58 Esquire. Man that looks like my guitar. That scratch on the bottom bout is IDENTICAL.
😫
That focus pull around 38:20 was perfect.
I do my best! Thanks for noticing! - Perry

One of the best rundowns man
this was really well edited and produced
Hey, this is the 2nd producer rig rundown in a row that Ive watched, and I never knew that these guys are such gear nerds! ...but they seem to have all the coolest stuff.
Very interesting rig rundowns.
New country doesnt happen to be my cup of tea, but I can definitely relate to an odd fuzz or an old Fender amp. Love it.
Thanks and keep these coming.
Listen to the Rival Sons. Southern but they rock.
This might be my favorite rig run down yet. Very Cool!
Justin Snyder Very cool indeed...
Most enjoyable rig rundown I've ever watched.. thanks for that.. Cool catz going at it!
Absolute lord 🙂
So cool to hear from an Esquire guy! You really can do so much with just the tone knob on them.
More of that please , RigRundowns are great and this one is awesome!👍🏻
Love the JD pickups and what a great player i have both a JD Strat and tele heaven.
John that room has such a great ambience !!!
This is one of the best ever. Best pedal selection too. Vox Tone Bender, MXR Phaser, Menatone Red Snapper, Jext Telez Dizzy Tone ( the best version imo) and Caroline Kilobyte...great taste and just happen to be pretty much all of my favorites.
Studio rig rundown is far more interesting than live rig rundown!
God that was truly... educational. Thanks guys. Awesome.
That was fantastic.I was riveted from the get go.
Best interview ever JB!
Awesome run down!
Great interview! Love it.
@4:00 if you got "The Nashville Sound" on Vinyl, check out the inside cover, there's a picture of Jason grinning ear to ear with this guitar in his hands! Hope they sell enough for Jason to get that lovely guitar!!
Don Mare is hands down the best at replicating vintage fender pickups
Holy shit, what a cool surprise for Jay Buchanan to drop in...I opening for him and Joe Firstman about years ago...before Rival Sons and The Cordovas and man both were so supportive and positive!
Cool! Very informative rundown.
Please can you a 2024 update!!!
Do Blake Mills!!!!!
Doeke Bekius I would pay for this
Great interview
You guys do the BEST STUFF! I am a fan of everything Dave does and this was a great great interview. I am going to make my guit player watch this if I have to sit hi ass down all clockwork orange style.
Make sure to pin his eyes open …
I didn't know Dave, turns out he's the producer of many of my favourite albums!
I didn't listen to country at all until I heard Metamodern. Then I listed to Southeastern. Then I started hearing stories about this Dave Cobb guy... genius or lucky, he's got some magic about him.
My heart burst when Jay came out
Wow I love this guys guitars. We have similar taste.
Dave is an all around good dude. Can’t speak highly enough about the person he is.
nice to see Jay make a cameo :)
Fantastic RR. The Nashville guys have the great gear - great guitars and real, old fashioned valve amps. Interesting chat about vintage tele bridges @ 20 mins in - that's why Joe Strummer had to invent the "strum guard" - I've seen Springsteen using it as well - I guess it must be because he was using vintage teles (which makes sense).
I'm surprised he even has any gear left, with all the stuff he's sold to Jason Isbell 😂 Legends, both of them!
I can vouch for that Kilobyte Delay (from Caroline Guitars) - you can add gain to the delays so they come out exactly as lo-fi as you want. Also the "chaos button" is amazing, I've ended many sets by just letting that rip and messing around with the settings... Nice to see it in a rundown!
Tele sure has seen some action since you let me play it! Amazing!
insane collection
Yes! Love Dave!
great run down
thanks John B!
cool dude, great producer, and great taste in gear. caroline pedals rock.
Very cool! Awesome video, keep it up!

This is the best rundown yet. You should do Doug Pettibone's rig. Tell him I sent you.
I always expect Jay to come off as a Morrison ego cat. And he's always so cool. Greatest rock singer going these days in my book.
LMFAO.. ( i can't believe i almost fell for the Upside Down Amp ) .. Great Rig Rundown
Sweet. Good job guys. Would love a Real Estate or Explosions in the Sky rundowns.
Explosions is playing the Ryman in April ... fingers crossed!
Please make this happen!!!
Tele pickup recommendation. Seymour Duncan Antiquity 60's tele. I have it in mine and it sounds great.
I saw Jason on tv with the Red Jet.....he must of hit the mark.
DKentization saw Jason play that Red Jet live a few months back. God DAYUM it sounded so sweet. Those PAF filtertrons are dreamy.
12:08 Wow John, I dont know if that statement counts as foreshadowing, but it does in 2023. How much is that guitar worth now. 😂❤🎸
that was a cool one man i really enjoyed it
That was amazing 👍👍
Definitely has the guitar bug like all of us.just wish I held onto some of the great gear I had back in the day....but don't we all
That 335 is BOOOOTIFUL
Houndmouth. Dave Cobb produced one of their albums
Love how Jay crashes it. Best producer and singer combo in a long time
Casually picking pedals up from between the Grammys, not even mentioning them. That's some chill.
This is a really great guitar geek video. The only thing that was killing me was how obsessed Mr. Cobb seemed to be about that elongated sideburn looking hair in front of his right ear.
Compensation?
Very cool dude.
This is quite entertaining
Dave Cobb. A very cool guy. I'd love to make a record with Dave too!
didn't know Dave.. but shit... great RR!!!! great interview. great guy! awesome guitars.
get ron ellis pick ups for your esquire, and you have connection already 65 amps is friends with him.perfect fit
That was a great a story about him sending buddy on the guitar hunt then buddy says I don’t wanna sell it. Those would of be fighting words lol.
Great episode! How about a The 1975 rig rundown!?
The opening solo is so catchy,where does it come from ?a random jam only?
Kam Chuen So “Sturgill Simpson - Living the Dream”
@@RandallDaytona711 thanks man🙏🙏🙏🙏
Do a tom bukovac rig rundown!! That would be the best rundown ever
