gear?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Mon Dec 06, 2004 7:52 am

anyone know what gear the spacemen used back in the day? I know about the guitars, but how about amps and especially fx pedals? they seemed to use quite a few effects on the guitar and some fuzz on the bass as well.

The Spacemen book (which I don't have to hand) lists pretty much everything they used in the opening pages.

from what I can gather, they spent most of their time buying gear...

anyone see the brits last night? what a dull evening. Keane - I mean I'm surprised they didn't thank their school teachers as well as everyone else. Not very Rock and Roll. And just why are Franz Ferdinand so popular? I can't see anything that should separate them from any other dodgy guitar band.

What this got to do with gear? erm not alot apart from these people clearly need more of it.

didn't see the brits, but i did tune into radio 1 last nite to hear 'the best of british music the last 25 years'

right as it came in, SPIRITUALIZED was playing. now that was brilliant.

wow thanks for that list, I'm curious as to what of all of that was actually used back in the spacemen days, because it obviously wasnt all of it. Since a lot of that stuff wasnt even being made around that time (Zvex etc.)
