Did anyone ever find out who made the bridge of this guitar? Or the guitar with the similar bridge he used a long time ago?

i saw them live before good news and issac had 2 fender super sixes with a fender fat strat, a green PRS(100% certain), and a sku blue jackson dinky ripoff. i saw them after and i cant remember the amps but he was only playing a the red guitar with the funky bridge and an exact copy in a pearlier alembic-ish finish. i remember around a year or two ago going to the site that made isaacs custom guitars, it was only one guy who worked out of a crappy mountain guitar store who made them. they are definitely not PRSs though.

Ja, I don't think it's a PRS. His tone is mostly ***** but he (and them) is/are still amazing

i know this is an older thread, and was recently resurrected... but the guitar is made by Brian Wicks.

They start around 3k. They are custom order only.

right here

anyone know what pedals he uses to get the spacey tone on stars are projectors?

That's a studio track, and I'm sure had lots of fun production techniques on it, but the most noticable to me are the Delay and Reverb. Which generally are keys to getting something spacey. When I saw them back in '03 I think. Brock had 3 Boss DD-x Delay pedals, and he had a book in front of the pedal board with Pedal Settings for different songs, I was right in front of him and took note of this. He also was using a BD-2 at the time and two PS-5's. But that's all I can positively remember, other than the Wicks guitars of course, and I believe a TU-2 tuner. Somewhere I wrote this up and saved it in a text file, because I too was thinking the Bwillen site was correct information, but its rather out of date. If I can find my '03 text file I'll let you know, but after this last album I'm sure its a little different.

I definitely hear a PS2 on one of the new songs. I remember seeing him with one on the Good News summer tour, and it obviously made it onto the album this time.

He says he learned to play on ****ty metal guitars, and the Floyd style trem became part of his style. Similiar to J. Mascis with Jazzmasters, whoever. But now he can afford really good "****ty metal" guitars.

this doesn't really have anything to do with their gear, i just want to empart how awesome it is that Johnny Marr is now an official member.

__________________
MY LIST OF REALLY REALLY CHEAP GEAR (but it works for me and thats what matters)

GUITAR(S) - Squire Affinity Stratocaster (black with maple neck)

AMP(S) - Fender FM212R (working now i think), Fender Frontman 15-watt amp (practice)

FX - Digitech Whammy IV, Dunlop 95Q Wha, MXR Phase 90, DOD YJM308 Yngwie Malmsteen Overdrive, EHX Metal Muff, Boss RV-3 Reverb/Delay, Boss BF-2 Flanger

ALL I WANT FOR XMAS IS A BOSS DD-7

I found this on (http://www.duke.edu/~drw5/gear.html)

Which is pretty much how i remember his setup & more

Modest Mouse

Isaac Brock:

Some PRS looking SSH guitar with a whammy (We now know this is a Wicks Custom Guitar)
silverface fender Twin and Super Six (6x10", 100 watts)
uses both at the same time, according to the guitar tech
I think he uses them miked out of phase on albums for that sound
boss BD-2 blues driver for slight drive,
Z Vex super duper 2-in-1 "for the really loud stuff"
he really wrangles/strangles that guitar in concert!!
i took a picture at a 2004 pre-good news gig: his setup in order:
boss PS-5 super shifter then BD-2 blues driver, 3 boss digital delays,
Z-Vex super duper 2-in-1, Morley A/B/Y selector into:
fender silverface twin and super six reverb

Dan Gallucci:

Fat telecaster (neck humbucker) thru a fender head and 4x12 cab
I think it's a retolexed blonde fender...it has white knobs. is either a bassman, bandmaster, or tremolux
my guess is a bassman because of the power requirements of being in a rock band
and competing with two 100+ watt amps from isaac. DG's guitar was a lot quieter than mr. brock's at the gig...
hard to hear actually



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course now that Johnny Marr is in the band, I guess Dan Gallucci is out, and his setup is way different.

Anyone ever played a Fender Super Six? How'd it sound? They look amazing!

Could be completely wrong, but I heard Johnny Marr was playing with them now.....???

You're not wrong, he is.

So what gear does he use then?
