PM: So when you're not on the bass, is somebody else on the bass? Or some songs don't have any bass? JP: Yeah, exactly. Ryan is usually the other go-to guy on bass. PM: Ah. But somebody is always on the bass--or not necessarily? JP: Well, here's what they do, and this is from the old-school Guster: Adam uses one of those Chet Atkins guitars, the solid body ones, because they're so--I don't know, they're just solid. PM: I'm not a big fan of those, particularly. JP: It's like driving a U-haul through the city. PM: [laughs] JP: But he has one of those midi pickups on there, and he gets bass out of that. PM: Oh, does he pick up the strings separately, or something? JP: It only picks up the back two strings for the bass. PM: Oh. JP: And then he can play like a little guitar. Like if he does an A bar chord, it's going to have an A in the bass, and then you'll hear the strings ring on the other one. PM: Oh. JP: It's kind of wild. And that's how they used to get away with it back in the day. PM: So does it drop the bottom two strings down an octave or something funky? JP: It actually samples like a bass sample, like a stand-up bass, it triggers a midi thing. PM: Oh, my God. That's totally cool. JP: Yeah, it's pretty wild. PM: But is it a quality bassy sound, or just kind of a kitschy bassy sound? JP: I never heard it out front. I'll tell you one thing, it's like really deep-- PM: Wow. JP: --because it's kind of artificial, it gets all that sub stuff going on that you can't get on the bass guitar. PM: Subsonic, yeah. JP: Yeah. When I first saw them, I didn't know how they were doing it. I thought they were just triggering a tone down below to make it appear like there was something filling up the low end, because it wasn't even defined. [laughs] But they didn't have the best sound then, back then.

The official C.F. Martin & Co. website states on Gardner's artist page that his "preferred Martin guitar" is the GPCPA2 Mahogany.
