Bruce Kulick's Gear
"My trusty red ESP vintage plus from 96 was the weapon of choice and as I have always told players, the tone is in the guitarists hands."
"I pulled out the Gibson ES 330 from 61 in cherry red that is so Beatles like in tone. And a RI 56 LP Goldtop that is just killer in cause of its soap bar pick ups, came into play as well."

"Next was a 12-string sound, and Jeremy owns a sweet double neck Gibson like Jimmy Page's. I made him tune it, as I hate the 12 strings. Six is hard enough! We put a slight Leslie pedal effect on it, with a Korg G4. Really nice tone. Same amp as track one."

"But first I used my '53 Les Paul Standard through our friend Randy's AC 3O VOX amp. RIght combination. Used the line boost again too! Did the harmony guitar with my other 58 RI Les Paul Standard."

"Played it through a Fender Vibro-king amp that was at George's Shut Up And Play studio. No pedals, just the bass pickup of the red stratocaster and a lot of finger plucking! We were very happy with the results and the song is finally hitting the high mark that I am striving for."
"I had my Maxon delay hooked up, and tried a few different delay effects on that one. I was VERY happy with the solo. This song kills. Added one more section of riffs for the end on the old Les Paul. Classic Kulick for sure." - if a link under the Maxon analog delay is clicked, there is a photo of the AD80 analog delay.
"I used an Epiphone Riviera from 1967, and played it through a MXR phase 100, with the Orange Tiny Terror amp, giving me a classic British tone. I tried some riffs on the demo for this song, so that was our starting point. The solo will be one of the best on the CD for sure. I love that Epiphone. I used it on the Butchering The Beatles song "Drive My Car" with Kip Winger singing a few years back. It screams in a great way."
"First up was my 12 String Martin D20 from 1970, which is VERY easy to play. Tuning, of course, is always hard on 12 string instruments, but we got a great sound from this Martin."
"Jeremy played the part on the demo, so I handed him the guitar and I was glad to have my 1968 Gibson Southern Jumbo do the honors. He had some cool inversions that I preferred he played. After a few takes we had our acoustic done for that song."
"I used first my Martin D18 which sounded cool, and then for a double, since I just picked up a Jazz box (a 1958 Gibson ES 175), Jeremy and I thought we can just mike it and see how that sounded. We didn't need to plug this Sunburst beauty in, it sounded STELLAR just like that"
"First up was a '56 Gibson LP Goldtop with P90 pickups that are super sweet. We plugged in a type of rotovibe pedal that was at the studio and we got a sweet swirly tone, plugged into a Fender Blackface Deluxe that was at George's studio."
"I found a nice Fender Made in Japan Stratocaster that is two tone and vintage looking, but with a Rosewood neck. Should be maple, but I love the neck on this guitar. VERY Straty tone, and we had our second part with some little lead guitars thrown in throughout the tune. It was a hot day in LA so we ended a bit early, as it was a good time to run a rough off of a few songs so I can enjoy them during my travels."
"This song has really come along and it is very special in guitar textures. We didn't get too crazy with pedals but did have fun checking out the new Duncan designed LAVA BOX."

"We pulled out each bass not sure what would work. We had a 66 Fender P Bass, 65 Jazz Bass, 71 Jazz Bass, 72 P Bass in Black, 2006 Custom Shop P Bass, Gibson EB-3 from 1967 and a Hofner Beatles bass from 1965 that my friend Peter brought for me to check out."
"t. So we were covered for sure. We used Tech 21's PSA-1 rack mount amp simulator and that dialed in quite quickly some killer tones."
