The research would eventually pay off when a 17-year-old James saved up enough cash from his part-time job to buy himself an Epiphone Casino. “I was like, ‘Yup, that looks like the 345 Marty McFly played!’” James quips, but by this point, he was also heavily informed by the classic guitar music he’d immersed himself in. “I was really into The Beatles, and it was the ‘rooftop concert’ guitar as well. So I promptly removed the pickguard and played Bad To The Bone and Malagueña for hours and hours on end!

In this article James is quoted saying: “Nowadays, the Supro Thunderbolt is probably my go-to amp, but I also like the Valco Gretsch stuff – the Pro Bass with a 15, which is essentially a Thunderbolt, and the Gretsch Dual Twin, which has two 10s. Mike Bloomfield used those, and those Butterfield [Band] records are fuckin’ incredible.”

In the article James is quoted saying: * “I got a SP-404, one of those Roland samplers, when we were touring Corsicana Lemonade [2013],” James recalls. “We’d hook it up to the car stereo and I’d ask for a song from each guy in the band, and then I’d take little samples from each song to try and make something in the course of an hour and then play it back for the guys. So with Shanalala, I was just getting to know what that machine could do. So I kind of dumped a bunch of drum samples from this iPhone app into the machine, and I can’t even remember what songs I had in, but the whole process started with a mashup/remix-y kind of approach.*
