I'm impressed that he got that thick over-saturated sound out of a strat. I was trying to see which pup he was using. There's one shot where it looks like he is using the neck pup. Likely using a amp simulator of some kind that's got 'Boston' presets. The little rockman that Tom Scholz used to sell would do a respectable job at that tone back in the day. I remember when I got my first electric guitar, that was the gear I lusted after - belt mounted rockman.

I also didn't expect a Ricky bass.

I've got to get some old Boston on CD. I forgot how much I love that song.



Doesn't get much better than that song. That video was pretty cool - I think it might amaze people who don't do as much recording as we all do here a bit more To me it looks like another day at the office

As for that strat tone - I dunno, I guess each to his own - to me, it was much too fizzy. Didn't sound that thick at all. Of course, I could just be spoiled because I get some serious thick tone from my strat. Strats + Hiwatts pretty much eat Les Pauls for breakfast I always did like the Rockman sound, though I find I can get the same thing only "more" with a regular old triangle Muff and a light OD stacked afterwards.

Also this video made me really crave the Ricky bass. I've never liked their guitars, but their basses are fantastic. Our bassist has been lusting after one... Maybe I should push him a bit harder ha ha
