    From their gritty garage roots in 1986, to multiple major deals, world tours, breaks-ups and reunions, The Afghan Whigs-including longtime bassist John Curley (above right)-hung with Premier Guitar prior to their jet-fueled gig in Nashville.
    Curley’s main live bass is a 1979 Rickenbacker 4001. He has played Ricks off and on since the Whigs began touring in the late 1980s. The bright, aggressive tone cuts through the heavy guitars while still providing plenty of tight low end. Curley’s backup on tour is a 1978 Fender Jazz, which is his first choice in the studio.
    Dulli, a loyal Gibson man, rotates between two Gibsons-this 2005 Gibson ES-335.

    One of the all time best "alt" rock bands of the 1990's! These guys REALLY added soul to the loud guitar landscape of 90's indie rock and it worked! REALLY WELL! So Stoked for this Rundown! The Whigs have always had GNARLY album cover art...but to add it to the cabs...So rad! \m/

    I gave Dave Rosser a pedal that I have built when they was in Stockholm a couple of years ago. He used it in studio mostly. A real nice person, we sort of became friends right away. Too sad he passed away so early. Fun to see Afghan Whigs in the Rig Rundown! Thanks

    Stoked that John actually demoed some of his pedals instead of just talking about them.

    That Les Paul - inches behind Perry's back. This was some edge of seat suspense waiting for it to fall over.

    I do enjoy those Rig Rundowns, but as a drummer it was nice to see Patrick Keeler's drum set! So classy!

    This was awesome. Didn't know this group before and the interviewer did an awesome job. Knows his stuff and asked great questions.

  • @CenterThePendulum
    @CenterThePendulum 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Never cited as virtuosic but the Whigs have such sonically mastered guitar parts. It was funny watching them try to express enthusiasm going over Dulli’s pedalboard....some tasks are too much to ask....

    really love those double cut Yamahas guitars. especially the black vintage super rare to find
    of course love Les paul and Rickenbaker bass

  • @56davidwright
    @56davidwright 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I got all the best gear.... vintage..custom...rare.. awesome stuff...but of course you can't take that all to the gig so l got an ALDI guitar ( six string electric) and just plug direct into a solid-state Taiwanese karioke station. NOW I sound just like everyone else including EVH , Eric and Pagey....
    .. those guys will never tell you that.

    @2:30 honestly the best part of locking tuners isn't stability (that has just as much to do with how well the nut is carved) but locking tuners make string changes a breeze. like seconds instead of minutes
