Cool thread.
My guess is most touring bands would forego the booteek & stick with reliable meat & potatoes rigs.

but how do you get good tonez without booteek stuff

[StratMatt]

Cool to see. Always been interested to get a look at the Fat Freddys setup if anyone's got any shots?

[rickenbackerkid]

Don't have any pics, but I've worked for them. Guitar wise was an LP Custom, MXR Phase 90, Morley Wah, Boss RE-20 echo and a Silverface Twin Reverb. There may have been a few more pedals but I can't remember.

That's the rig. He also plays an Italia guitar and sometimes Dallas plays a G&L tribute series ASAT.

The 3rd Bass of Karl's will most likely be a Schecter, he has played them for quite a while now. Back in the day he used an Gold Epiphone Jack Casady.

I see you were at the Masterton gig on Friday night. I'm one of Shihad's guitar techs.

You got most of it pretty correct. A couple of things:

- The guitar cabs are Mesa Recto 4x12s
- The live FVEY tuning, which is used on Jon's '52 Tele and Phil's Jazzmaster is G# B# C# F# A# D#
- Jon's Teles are two '70s Tele Deluxes (D tuning), one '72 Tele Deluxe reissue (Drop C for Pacifier), and the above mentioned '52 Tele reissue (FVEY tuning). All the Deluxes have the bridge pickup wired straight to a single volume, then to the output
- Phil has the '64 Jazzmaster reissue (FVEY), one Les Paul Standard (D tuning), one SG standard (Drop C, and acts as D backup), and one SG Studio (FVEY backup)
- Karl has a Sandberg P Bass (FVEY D# B# C# F#), a Schecter P Bass (more a T Bass style really, D tuning), and a Sandberg J Bass (Drop C)

All that to play the same chord over and over for hours on end just kidding, for some reason I just can't get any vibe from them.

Pacifier is their only song that actually sounds musical but I'm still not that keen on it.

I'd personally have said Run is one of the great Kiwi rock tracks period. And if it were easier to sing it would be a regular alongside April Sun and Who loved who...

Bah that was meant to be a grammatical edit not a repost...

[rickenbackerkid]

Well I for one think that Shihad are awesome, great rock band. I like that they aren’t straight hard rock, but do some really interesting musical stuff. Great rhythm section and Phil Knight is a brilliant offbeat/slightly weird/angular type of guitar player who can destroy the straight rock riffage too.

Cheers for the first hand info, Ollie. That was an amazing show.

[jeremyb]

Shihad are awesome, the pacifier era stuff is dismal, by pre that and FVEY are amazing!

[Basket Case]

Yeah, whatever you're doing, badger, you're doing it wrong!

I seriously love me some Shihad- a very cool gig you have there, Ollie!

Come on fella The guy comes on the forum to impart information otherwise not available and we give him shit ?
I expect you meant it in fun but easily taken the wrong way.
There will be some who will be very happy to get this info. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy took offence and never posted again. who would be the worst off ? this Forum obviously

You're right, some people can have very thin skin on forums.
