Shellac: Dude Incredible / Watch Song - Oakland, 7/12/15 2140PM 22.12.21 IS IT..IS IT WHAT I'VE BEEN DOIN.....? ah well, if so then so be it.... erm... excellent band in it's day, agreed.... he seemed to know when to trash big black so how come he's vaguely grasping at things to do in the present...? a decent band to listen to as you play cribbage. ok. cool... like it. the music...
I really love it when band members pick up the slack when one of the team needs a minute to fix stuff, tune, recover, etc. Just playing a groove with fewer instruments is cool, but Bob's Q&A is friggin' great.
@@nolondon It's true that Steve has been seen more recently on stage with Shellac using the IVP and Fender Bassman, but when he was using the custom amp case (as in this video), there was no way to know for sure what gear was hidden inside it.
@@michaelzvid no, thats just stage fill for bobs rig, that amp you behind steve is 2 15" enclosures, which is definitely more suited for bass. that, and steve has been using the same rig more or less since the inception of shellac. sometimes the bassman is swapped for a plexi, but thats about it
@@nolondon I think that's Steve's actual setup, there's a rig diagram from 2000 showing that he hooks into two custom-built cabinets. One's more of a normal guitar cab, the other is a custom one that better preserves those unusual frequencies from the IVP. But you're correct that the Bassman/IVP combo has always been Steve's Shellac tone. The weird boxes are custom rehouses for their setups - Bob's Traynor is a 50 watt amp, so it's mixed with a separate power section to be suitable for larger gigs, and Steve's got the IVP, Bassman, and a power amp for the IVP all wired up in that box. Presumably the boxes make them easier to load in and out, and they've said in interviews that you only really need a volume control because once you've got the tone you want, the knobs are just a hazard to avoid.
Yes. From an earlier reply: Steve and Bob are both using custom amp cases, inside of which are Traynor TS-50B amp heads. See: www.offsetguitars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25350
I was there! Stephen King was great, and he is obviously modest with interviewers when he says he does not play guitar very well.
@Scott Carlos I just got a flixzone comment on another video this morning with the same wording. What's the deal?
stephen king huh?
@@jack_rabbit no, not Stephen King-- yes, Stephen King
I had no idea this band was still around. Seen them years ago, great band.

Glad this exists!
Fuck me, that bass tone.

Excellent stuff. I wonder what those amps at the back are, just one knob, sound sick.

@@michaelzvid it is just bob who uses the 50b. steve uses an intersound IVP and a blackface bassman

Thanks for posting this Michael Z! It's the tits.
Are these things behind amps ???

What the heck are those amps?
i read somewhere that theyre just rehoused into something more simple. I think Albini uses a fender bassman.
toss me it though
