Billy Gibbons' Other Gear

Hide incorrect submissions

At 16:04 in this video it is noted that Billy Gibbons uses Cream T Banger & Mash Pickups in his John Bolin Peeler guitar. Made by Norwegian Thomas Nilsen Billy loves these pickups. They were originally made at Keith Richards request, but Billy loved them and asked Thomas to make him some. Years later Thomas is now making them for sale commercially. https://www.soundaffects.com/accessories-c59/guitar-pickups-c73/banger-mash-humbucker-pickup-set-p14273

Billy has also developed his Cream T "BFG Bangers" and uses those on other guitars.

“There’s a guy in California that’s started making a proper, easy-install replacement for the humbucking pickup. No holes required and no drilling. It’s called A Little Thunder and it’s a contraption that can identify the low notes on the guitar, say the E, A and D strings, and you can dial in either an octave or two octaves below. “It tracks elegantly and without latency. Or at least audible latency, I’m sure if you scoped it out of course, there’d probably be something in it. Basically, this pickup is an intuitive octave splitter that knows when to start and when to stop. It’s a great bit of gear to mess around with!”
