Say Anything Guitars
Although they have alot of guitars from Jaguars to Les Paul's live, I thought it was interesting that Max's "play around" guitar he kept on the van a few tours back was a midrange Fender acoustic. You can see Jeff playing on it in the videos he recorded for the site. I actually got to play on it and that action was really high. What have they been seen with recently? Or in the past? Open discussion!
Self-inflicted or not, I find myself on the farthest star, foreign to everything like I woke up with a German tongue.

Hi Scott!
I'd love to see some more info on their sound. Perhaps you could pull some stuff of wikipedia
Would be nice to have all info here so I dont have to jump between sites

yeah I have thought about expanding but a site as narrowly focused as this can only go so far and I don't think this site can be spread much farther... there's too many alternatives to talk on this stuff including SA's own site

Re: Guitars
I wish it were possible to know the brand or gauge of strings they use. The brand/body style of the guitar accounts for a good deal of the sound quality, but a simple change in the gauge of strings can drastically affect the song.
Does Max always play half-step down when he plays acoustic?

We use Ernie ball medium gauge tops with heavy bottoms.Dreaming/Manhattan wrote:I wish it were possible to know the brand or gauge of strings they use.

Max usually plays a half step down live, yes.

Re: Guitars
For my live sound I use...
An orange ad30 through an orange 4x12.
I started off on the first 2 or 3 tours with a Squire jagmaster, it was the white one from the alive with the glory of love video. Later bought two Fender mustangs, a 1968 competition orange (can be seen in the wow music video) and a one of a kind reissue 1994 competition fiesta red. My next guitar that I play on current tours is a Fender japan blood red jazzmaster (can be seen in shiksa music video.) I recently bought a Gibson antique sunburst 335 (seen in hate everyone video and live) and my newest one is a Gibson les Paul, tobacco suburst.
My pedals start with a boss reverb, into a line 6 d-4, a boss tremelo, into a boss equalizer (set to mix with heavy distortion), into full tone full drive 2 distortion pedal (our main distortion for every song), into lastly a boss tuner. We also have an orange foot switch on our pedal boards to do the obvious.
Trying to think of anything else I use.

Re: Guitars
Wow, thanks man. I'd been playing skinny top heavy bottom Erie Ball...kind of explains the extra twang I was having problems with.
I didn't expect such a good answer. ^.^
My main experience is unplugged, so knowing more about the types of dist. used also goes a long way towards showing me how to replicate the sounds without long bouts of trial n error.

No problem. I'll take some pics of the pedals and upload them for settings.Dreaming/Manhattan wrote:Wow, thanks man. I'd been playing skinny top heavy bottom Erie Ball...kind of explains the extra twang I was having problems with.
