Bonamassa talks about EBMM on Guitar Player

[rmh925]

So here is what he said

Question:
How did you create the tone that opens the record on the title track?

That was my live rig: A Marshall Silver Jubilee, a Category 5 Super lead-type of amp, two-rock, and a Carol Ann JB-100, which basically a big clean amp. We set up a couple of rooms mics, four mics on the amp, and i just hit a big dropped D chord with a wah pedal and Fulltone tremolo. The main rhythm tone is an Ernie Ball John Petrucci baritone. It's a strange choice for my style of playing, but these are fantastic guitars. I think people tune them down to B with lighter strings, but we tune them to C and put heavy strings on them and they sound fantastic. It's almost like a danelectro tone.

Yah, I read that. I tried finding the JP in the picture showing all his guitars and couldn't......but there are a bunch in back that I can't make out. It's quite a compliment that out of all the eclectic choices of guitars, he went with a JP.
