I've been trying to add the gear of the 60's Proto-Punk/Garage-Psych/Underground Rock group The Fugs and particularly the ones used by the members of the band during their early "indie" days and the "thrown off atlantic" era [late 1965-67] There are some pictures of the band around 1966 and appearances in the film Chappaqua and their own Ed English directed film, but its hard to make out the specific gear used by the band.

For example i can assess that John Anderson [likely not the John Andersons of other profiles] uses an early Gibson EB-0, but he also has a "red burst" hollowbody bass guitar that i am unable to identify. Vinny Leary seems to use both an epiphone hollowbody and a gibson SG variant? Kearney also uses an Epiphone.

some details might be laid out in Ed Sander's autobiography as well as this amazing blog but i cant make out some details...

i'll provide links below for analysis
