![]() ![]() My band Black Light Burns were making a video and we ended up hanging that Billy Sheehan bass from a tree and spray-painted it completely white for no reason So I’m keeping two of them, but losing the one I play the least.”Īnd there’s a real Starcaster in there too, which looks heavily modded… It looked cooler pieced back together than it did before. I also ended up putting some circuit-bent stuff in there, so that’s a special guitar to me. Petersburg, but I glued the body back together and poured resin in it because it’s a semi-hollow, just to strengthen it. I really like that one, and there’s a white version that I ended up smashing to bits at a show in St. This is the second one they made me, but I’m keeping the first. There’s also one of your Yamaha CV820WB signatures, which were partly inspired by the Starcasters famously used by the likes of Jonny Greenwood and Martin Gore… Things that are cool but I end up never playing.” This sale is about getting rid of all that stuff. That way it won’t sting as much! But I end up accumulating a lot of things that aren’t the thing. I can’t justify spending $10,000 on a bass, so what I’ll do is buy something cheaper and similar. I’ve always wanted a Wal bass like Geddy Lee and Justin from Tool. “Another thing I’ve done over the years is think more about what I’m buying. I had to ask myself, ‘Why do I need both?’ If I want a Selmer again, I’ll buy one again, but right now I need to slim down my life. “I really like that Selmer but later on I got a vintage 1965 Magnatone that was the same model Buddy Holly used and I ended up liking the sound of that more. But I had to think, ‘What do I use this for?’ It was the clean amp for the Chocolate Starfish album, like the tones you hear on the breakdown in My Way where it gets really trebly, it’s the high treble button on that amp. And you’re right, that was actually one of the things I had a hard time deciding whether to part with. “Yeah, Rick persuaded me to get that one. The Selmer was the clean amp for the Chocolate Starfish album, like the tones you hear on the breakdown in My Way where it gets really trebly That Selmer Zodiac Twin Thirty, recommended to you by Rick Rubin, must have been one of the harder decisions in the sale, surely? And it’s nice for the people who want it to have it, rather than it just gathering dust.” I’m also selling five Orange heads in this sale because there’s just too much stuff. ![]() I’ve decided to only keep the stuff I really like. Don’t get me wrong, I probably still have 15 or 16 cabinets in total, around nine EVH heads and two Diezels, plus a load of boutique amps. “I used to have eight Mesa/Boogie heads and still own a few of the cabs. Every time I moved I’d be like, ‘Ugh, I’ve got to collect it and move it from A to B!’ I was ready to lose the weight. I was keeping it purely for sentimental reasons, and it got to the point where it was just taking up space. I love that head but I mainly use Diezels and EVHs. “Yeah! But that amp hadn’t been played in so long. Other notable design elements include YASH (Yamaha Artist Services Hollywood) designed Custom 33 pickups and binding on the inlayed 12-degree angled headstock, F-holes, and beautifully contoured body.Like the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier used on Three Dollar Bill, Y’all – which you christened in pen as ‘The Pickled Paprika Lord Leviticus Amen’? ![]() A two-piece carved maple top finishes the instrument, making it a true semi-hollowbody electric guitar. This model boasts a distinctive design incorporating Yamaha's unique Takumi-Kezuri construction in which the back, sides and centre block are all carved from one block of wood (in this case alder). Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland was intensely involved in every aspect of the design process of the Yamaha CV820 WB signature model, right from conception to completion.
