Tarek Jafar's Amplifiers

Music Radar asks Tarek Jafar, "What became your go-to gear for this record?"

The record they are referring to is The Blue Stones' Hidden Gems. He says:

...and this incredible vintage Traynor stack. I believe it was a Traynor YBA-1 Bass Master Mark II, with an accompanying 6x10 cab. Beastly.

Tarek Jafar when asked how he approaches bass parts live:

My go-to pedals for a great low-end push are the Double Rock by Z.Vex and the Pitchfork Octaver (in Nano size so it has less of a pedalboard footprint) by EHX

Otherwise, I achieve a thicker low-end by playing heavy gauge strings, using a boomy amp (currently on the Mesa Dual Rectifier Roadster with a 4x12 cab) and using guitar techniques like palm-muting to increase my presence.

On November 2, 2024, The Blue Stones shared a video on Instagram featuring Tarek Jafar singing and playing guitar, connected to a Hiwatt SA20C 112 Custom 20 Watt Combo Amp. The distinctive features visible in the clip, such as the spacing from the HIWATT logo to the red jewel, alongside the dual switches on the right and dual inputs on the left, align with the design of the Hiwatt SA20C.

In a DM conversation with Tarek on Instagram, he confirms that this is actually his practice amp.
