Letter to Memphis instrumental

Post by Ankhanu »

Anyone know what the vocal replacement track in the instrumental version of the Pixies' Letter to Memphis is played on?

Logical guess: Joey's LP.

From the sondz: maybe a Bass VI?

both guesses

They had heaps of guitars by that stage, both in studio and live.

Yep, sounds like Joey's Les Paul to be honest.

Yeah, these were both contenders to my ear... I've played along with both guitar and my Hellcat VI... both have similarities, but neither sounds quite right :P. Of course, my guitars are almost all single coils, which wouldn't capture a LP sound well.
