Jack Black? Not quite sure how that relates but Jack is said to use GHS strings according to the GHS site. But, so far i can say, who cares? Playing guitar is about the individual, not who can copy others best. Well, unless you're Steel Panther.
um, i think he uses it on Salute Your Solution with The Raconteurs, and with the Dead Weather he doesn't use it because it actually is Dean's with TDW.
thanks, ill have to look into it, and i know, its so tragic we no longer have the white stripes, id trade the raconteurs and the dead weather for us to have the white stripes back, guess we'll just have to live with what we got
what songs did he use the bassballs on?
he used many strings over the years
Do you guys think that Zvex pedal is the Woolly Mammoth. It's the only one on the zvex site that has 4 knobs and one button....
Update - yes, that is the woolly mammoth
and the copper thing on his Racs amp is basically a touch-sensitive killswitch. He has one for guitar and another for the copper mic next to his amp.
no Gibson 345, but he occasionally uses a bass guitar in TWS & that might be a Gibson.
dirty? clean?
