Re: Equipment « Reply #1 on: August 27, 2006, 02:59:42 PM » jason molina sent me the details of his rig, other folks in the band might follow as well:

live setup- vox: Shure SM-58 guitar: Old Les Paul Standard, 50's Danelectro, Jerry Jones Danelectro model amp: 70's Deluxe Reverb, Victoria Victorette

recording/live setup- guitar: Martin 000-28 12-string, 50's Harmony, Taylor 414, Algiers Uke amp: 60's Vibrolux Reverb, 70's Princeton Reverb, Pignose

Song: “7th Street Wonderland” + “Darling You Are…” Album: Songs: Ohia – Journey On Curator: Jonathan Cargill – Secretly Canadian Co-Founder

“Originally from the Untitled 7″ released on Western Vinyl. I remember recording these two songs. It was Jason, Ben Swanson and myself. I believe we were in Jason’s apartment on 10th Street in Bloomington, Indiana. The only instruments in the place were an egg shaker, a maraca, two crude keyboards (including a Casio SK-1) and Jason’s guitar. If I recall correctly, the amp is a tiny 5 watt Pignose. The recordings reflect the intimacy of the setting. Lyrically, these songs are pretty simple by Molina’s standards, but they perfectly capture a mood. Jason’s mood at that time, to be exact. On ‘7th Street Wonderland,’ I particularly like Jasons subtle and tasteful guitar solo. There are not very many pure Molina guitar solos on recordings and they are always a treat.”

In this photo, Jason Molina can be seen holding a Gibson RD electric guitar.

Jason can be seen playing a Danelectro Convertible in natural finish during this performance of “Hold on Magnolia”.

From page 91 of Erin Osmon's book "Jason Molina: Riding With The Ghost" - "At this point Molina was focused on a Danelectro baritone guitar, which emitted sounds often associated with surf music or spaghetti westerns. It also marked his transitions to playing the full suite of six strings after having spent time removing one or two on this earlier recordings. The deeper register of the Danelectro suited his heavy metal bass player sensibilities too". The book also details how he'd go on to play this guitar for the recording of Ghost Tropic.

This image shows Molina playing his black Gibson SG at The Knitting Factory, Brooklyn, NY, during a Songs: Ohia tour in 2002 (photograph by Jens Fransson).

In a live performance of "Farewell Transmission" by Songs:Ohia, recorded at The Earl in Atlanta on August 3, 2002, Jason Molina is seen playing a Jerry Jones JJ Original SingleCut. The distinctive Jerry Jones logo is clearly visible on the headstock at approximately the 1:22 mark in the video, as documented by YouTube user tweedybootlicker.
