I don’t play a lot of bass but this is a good one. I switched out the pickups and the bridge I think so it’s a little better than one off the line. I finally bought a nice old vintage P-Bass a while back so I’m letting this go!

I used my Fender signature model, the Masterbuilt gold one. I go to the studio with a few things, but honestly, I always wind up using a lot of Dave Cobb’s stuff. He has a 1957 gold-top that I played quite a bit. There were some other Teles, but I’m not sure about the dates.

CS: With Foo Fighters, I pretty much just play my signature model now because I designed that guitar to be exactly what I needed.

For Chevy Metal (Shiflett's side project with fellow Foo Fighter Taylor Hawkins), I got an EVH 5150 combo, one of the small ones. And I have a Strat with a humbucker in it and a Floyd Rose. You kind of don't want anybody to see you playing it [laughter], but it's perfect for that. Because we were doing all these Van Halen songs, I had to get something with a Floyd Rose. But I could not figure out how to work that thing for so long. [laughs] I couldn't even figure out how to tune it. I had to watch somebody on YouTube explain it.

Do you love Johnny Thunders? Do you love Mick Jones from The Clash??? Then you need this guitar!! Again, I wound up with two of these (my other one only has one pickup) so I’m letting this one go. This is a simple straight forward rock’n’roll guitar.
