Amplifiers used by East Bay Ray on Bedtime For Democracy
Avg price: $2,141.99
The amp, though modified, was used on songs like "Holiday in Cambodia". A 2022 Premier Guitar rig rundown explains the process of Ray's Super Reverb conversion:
Ray’s guitar for the DK’s first singles, “Holiday in Cambodia” and “California Über Alles,” was recorded through a Fender Super Reverb (with an Electro-Harmonix LPB-1 Linear Power Booster in front of it). Shortly after those recordings, the self-admitted “science geek” tracked down schematics for Marshalls and Boogie amps and hot-rodded his Fender Super Reverb to have an extra tube channel, overhauling it to, essentially, a master-volume Marshall.
Guitars used by East Bay Ray on Bedtime For Democracy
Fender Standard Stratocaster HH
Avg price: $1,219.50
In the recording secessions for “In God We Trust Inc”, East Ray Bay can be seen using a Fender Stratocaster modified to have two Humbuckers in the bridge and neck positions and no single coil in the middle. This is a different Fender than his other blue one and the HH Standard is the closest I can classify it as.
