Fred is the best! I’m super happy he brought The Color Fred back and his new band mates are really cool too. Keith, their bassist, has a company called Gravity Enclosures and they design and construct guitar and bass cabinets by hand, super nice pro-quality stuff.
Fred is such a awesome guy! Obviously a total inspiration to so many.. not just as a incredibly amazing guitar player but aslo as a song writer! It's so cool of him to interact with his fans the way he does.. that Seriously means so much more to his fans than he'll know.. I commented on one of his Sunday morning streams and asked if he would mind showing us the chords to a TBS song which was never released "Follow The Format" (I'm sure many TBS fans know and love that song even though it was never released) And to my surprise the very next Sunday he took a few minutes of his stream and played through the song showing the chords and structure and talked about the History of when he wrote that song.. that was just so awesome of him!! Since 2002 TBS has been my favorite band and still are to this day.. Where You Want To Be and Louder Now are by far my 2 favorite TBS albums.. anyway awesome show and gear talk with Fred! 🤘
No double tracking Joe is my kind of guy!!! Less is not just more it is a lot more!!! To get different sounds of different guitars live I will install a Ric, Gold Foil or Gretsch PU at the neck . A good complementary match is a Ric at the neck and and a Tele at the bridge. I will soon add a Firebird at the neck of another guitar. After that I have my eye on a Burns.

Thanks so much for watching! I JUST found out about Keith’s cab company. He’s making super sick looking cabs!

Ah man that’s awesome! Fred is absolutely a cool dude! So glad I got to have a convo with him 🤘🤘🤘 thanks for watching!!
Were these pickups ever released as a "Fred" pickup? I would love to snag one
I would love to pick up one too! They were not released to my knowledge. But if you get ahold of the maker, you should be able to get one
Great conversation with Fred! Really dug tuning in to this one!
Cheers, Eric! Great interview questions!
Zach, thank you so much! It’s such a genuine honor to have talked with Fred and I’m so glad I got to share it with everyone!
