      Switchers to switch switchers, which switch pedal boards. Pretty sure just having one of his cables is gonna be a major score.

    I’m a drummer. And have no real idea what you guys are talking about when you get technical about guitars.
    But this and all of the rig run downs are such a pleasure to watch and listen too.
    Lovely, talented and gracious people that are passionate about what they do.

    Nobody does a rig run down like John Bohlinger and RJ Ronquillo's demos are always interesting. He did a great job here of sampling the gear without falling into the ego trap of making a performance out of every opportunity. 👍

  • @jimmywithaj1
    @jimmywithaj1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great Rundown and seemingly a real sweetheart of a guy. Believe it or not, I gigged for a couple years in the 80’s with a GK ML 250 through a Marshall 4/12 Slanted Cab. It sounded huge, wish I’d never offed it!🙁

    • @iainguitar

  • @pyrostooge78
    @pyrostooge78 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh man, my brother had that exact Gillian Kruger amp - back in the 80's. I never see those anymore. If I remember correct - that thing could peel the paint off the walls. My God, that thing was so heavy and dense sounding. It was so freaking loud. He was a big Iron Maiden fan.

    I played through that Gk250ml with a Marshall 2x12 bottom from 90 to 93, it was the bomb dizzle. Surprising how much output it had, it filled out the bottom well. The tuned Marshall helped fatten and warm it up so it sounded almost like a mesa boogie…it was easy to toss into the backseat and move without breaking your back hah.
    I rememberr seeing Alex Lifeson using one as an onstage monitor in a Rush video ~ I forget which song. Great post - enjoyed listening to you both.

    I had a Nash S-63 (in Seafoam Green) a few years ago. Idiot I am, I borrowed it to a friend, a German pro musician, and he liked it so much, he won´t give it back to me... So I gave him the guitar - and regret it until today... It´s hard for me to write it down, the shame is to much...oh my gosh. Anyway, Thumbs up for Bill Nash and his fine work. No need to spent your money in the Fender Custom Shop (or Gibson´s master built). I got the chance to play a Nash treated Les Paul, it was awesome....!

  • @hootowl6354
    @hootowl6354 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    That's the Grez Mendocino Junior, having a solid redwood body (which is a light wood anyway). The regular Mendocino (two pickups) is chambered mahogany with an old-growth redwood top. I used to work in old wineries, and I've seen the wood change color just like that. I'll never understand why builders don't round unbound bodies over like Strats are, under the right arm. That makes such a comfort improvement.
