Nevermind, as iconic as it is/was, was insanely over-produced. We're talkin' over-production levels of the "Phil-Collins-would-be-proud" nature.

But heck, I still love cranking it up...but I'll never be able to re-produce the sound of Kurt's Jaguar overdubbed ad infinitum.

Nice! I saw the Melvins in 1997 open for Helmet. Still, to this day, that will remain 1 of the 2 LOUDEST bands I've ever seen live. The other one is Ministry. For a 3-piece, the Melvins have always sounded like a effing WALL OF UNHOLY SOUND THAT WILL EAT YOUR EYEBALLS...and that is in large part due...

Thanks for the balanced and informed feedback, Phil. You are a credit to this forum. Thanks everyone for the great info! I'm super excited about my new Bronco.

However, all the pots and electronics on the guitar date to mid-late 1966. Also, the Fender logo on ...
