That's considered the mistake, however in interviews with the band it was a mistake from rehearsals that they decided to keep as part of the song as it sounded good, rather than a mistake made during the recording session - by then it was a part of the song.

Joan of Arc - OMD

I can personally confirm that a 4 string Euro tuned down to C# is a thing of utter brutal perfection. They should come with this tuning from the factory 😆

Not Hamer - apparently Burns! Well, not a 12-string in the modern sense, but still. A random pic of The Hollies popped up on Facebook the other day, and I was surprised to see Eric Haydock playing what looked like a Burns Double Six instead of his usual Fender VI. On closer inspection, those strings do look a bit thick... so I did a bit of digging and yes, Burns made a 12-string bass in the 60s. It was even on their now-archived website so potentially was still available as a custom order in recent years - the Double Six Apache model. It seems that all the featured players of the Apache Double Six played it as a standard 12-string guitar, however the glamour shots on the Burns site are all clearly strung as a bass: And, it seems it was used for recording as well! Jump to 1:10 for a slightly hesitant bass solo. Begins well but then he seems to regret starting it at all.

I'm Going To Spain - Steve Bent

S&M - Thin Lizzy

Tango - Yes

Tubeampology, I believe. The design of which was later stolen by Rickenbacker who now sell their own inferior version. The funny thing is, RIC always defended their traditionally wonky pickups by claiming they were covered so aren't supposed to be seen, then they go ahead and sell an item designed to replace the cover.

Are you going to shave the horns down? 😁

Naughty Man - Brian Pern

Hand Of Doom - Black Sabbath

That's not Muffy at all - I think Paul used a Vox Tonebender, or Fuzz Face possibly?

Distortion/overdrive is a very personal thing and there's so many different flavours - are there any particular players or songs you like the sound of?
