I’m using a Fender Deluxe 65’ Reverb for the clean and a Mesa Boogie Triple Crown Pre-Amp for the heavy distortion through Amplitube 5. Honestly, if I redid this now I would have used my Boss Metalzone Distortion rather than opting for the High Gain Pre-Amp but it is what it is. Yeah I totally get it these MJ Guitars are definitely hit or miss. I can see why some don’t like them visually but they have always been a favorite of mine. Thanks for tuning in!

@@BDKelso2000 thanks! you rule

i used to have a metal zone and loved it into a blues Jr

Of course!

I want to say I had all of the settings at 10 O’clock for the electric parts and for the acoustic I did about the same. Let me know how it sounds and if you need any other help!

@@BDKelso2000 do you recommend any specific pedals or sfx for the cadogan sound?

Thanks!

This video was a little over a year ago when my mixing wasn’t as smooth as it is now. I definitely would have lowered my guitar some if I were to cover this now. On the record, it’s not mixed super high (at least to me). It could also be because I am playing a guitar with two full size Humbuckers as opposed to single coils. I didn’t have some of the guitars I use for recording now at that time, so that could be part of it. The guitar on the debut record is a Musicman Sabre II which is more in the realm of fender guitars I.E. Tele, Strat, etc.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll be sure to redo this one at some point in the future!

@@BDKelso2000 no worries, go back and listen to the recording, they make use of the double tuned strings to get that cool bend sound. dont always trust sonic youth tabs, listen to the recording

One of my favorites!

Thanks!

For sure! I think Tony is just as good if not better than Kevin. I always dug OOTV and Ursa Major/Minor.

Thanks! I have put a lot of time into this channel and have aspirations of growing it more. Glad to see you guys have enjoyed the content!

@@BDKelso2000 WE WILL ENSURE YOUR GROWTH

Probably for a reason lol. I had been requested to do it so I figured why not?

Me too! Thought it would work well with the track.

👊🏻Apprecitate it man!

Thanks! Yeah it’s a cool ending.

Yeah they were great back then! Definitely should have been included on a release.

They’re all similar but each have their own style at the same time. When Kevin was in the band he brought the signature sound of 3eb which is massive chords and arpeggiated riffs often in an open tuning or other alternate tuning. This along with creative effects to spice it up. Tony in my opinion has more of a metal aspect to his playing, as shown here, but he borrowed a lot of influence from Kevin using some of his tunings to create songs and this proved successful for him later on. Once those guys left, the guitar playing took a massive turn in 3eb.

@@BDKelso2000 -- I miss the old days...but I'm older...and nostalgia seems to grow with age. When Cadogan left, in my opinion, 3EB lost half of its soul...

@@ericwindhorst347I feel the same way. I think Tony is a respectable guitarist in that he tried to emulate Kevin’s sound but without a doubt Kevin made 3EB’s guitar sound and without him, they would have been totally different.

Thanks! Could have never imagined owning it.

Yes, it’s coming soon. I’ve had dozens of requests for it. For some of the songs from Tony’s era I’ve had to reach out to him with regard to the tunings used.

Thanks!! Appreciate you tuning in.

The Green/Purple Mirage I own was his as was the Hollowbody I’m playing in this video. The proof lies within the serial number on the Green MJ which has 98’ KC 3EB and the hollowbody has a custom case with Bully written on it. Great guitars and Mark is still building but it’s been private work for the most part over the last couple of years. I own 3 Mirages and he definitely is one of the best luthiers out there.

For sure! Thanks for tuning in.

Thanks! Lots of work has gone into these videos and getting the resources to make it possible.

Wow, thanks! It’s been a’lot of work with these videos but it’s always fun making them. Yeah Burning Man has always been one of my favorites. The chorus especially, as you pointed out.

The original lineup was a massive influence on me no doubt about it.

Yeah he contributed a lot to 3EB. Still can’t believe I have this particular Mirage as it was always my favorite. I got lucky getting ahold of another one his last year and then somehow got lucky again with this one a few months later. I play them all the time and they are my workhorse instruments.

Thanks man! Appreciate you tuning in.

Thanks! Really appreciate that. It’s been a lot of hard work but it’s been enjoyable. More content to come very soon.

@@BDKelso2000 Absolutely man! Do you know if Kevin has seen any of it?

@@matthewh1802 I have no idea if he is a regular viewer or not but I remember sending him my guitar cover I did for his song “Chill” a while back which he congratulated me on.

@@BDKelso2000 Awesome man, thanks again for the awesome work and posts!

you are the fucking man - the very end of this song, after the pause….just unreal - maybe their best song - Cadogan is god

Thanks! Really appreciate it :) Yeah that’s one of my favorite parts of Narcolepsy. I’ve actually been considering a new guitar cover for it since I have a new PRS McCarty which Cadogan would use live for this song.

@@BDKelso2000 epic - i’ve actually started wanting a McCarty lately - Suhr superstrat generally all i play - the mccarty standard or 594 look great

For sure! Blue is still one of my favorites.

Haha I’m lucky to have 3. They have become extremely rare these days. That said I’m always searching for one so if I catch one for sale I’ll let you know!

@@BDKelso2000 I used to have an all mahogany one. Regretted selling it.

Nice! Hoping you can grab one soon. I’m always on the lookout and I recently helped a friend get one for a really good deal. I would imagine I am one of the very few people out there who still regularly play them. They’re the best👊🏻

Thanks! It’s grown a lot over the last few months.

Yeah that’s another good one. I’ll have to cover it someday!

Yeah that’s an amazing game! Takes me back to my childhood.

Let's hear about the gear he used for that. I know it was all vintage stuff

Thanks Richard!! What a tour that was. El’ Toro is a special bass, so I knew it deserved its own video. Arion’s talent for the instrument is remarkable and he was one of my first influences when I was a kid. Thanks for tuning in✌🏻

Yeah of course! Thanks for tuning in.

Thanks! Yeah it would be cool to do someday.

Very cool Brett, I agree that a Q&A with XEB would be pretty bad ass

MJ Mirage.
