PG’s Chris Kies headed to the Cannery Ballroom in Nashville to hang with J and Lou of Dinosaur Jr., and to check out the various workhorse instruments, room-rattling amps, and piles of pedals that forge their signature alt-rock vibe.
J Mascis' main guitar is a sunburst ’63 Fender Jazzmaster with its original neck and pickups. He replaced the pickup covers and knobs, and added a Tune-o-matic-style bridge. All of his guitars have been outfitted with jumbo frets and he uses Ernie Ball Cobalt wound strings and RPS (with a reinforced ball end) unwounds (.010-.046), and purple Dunlop Tortex (1.14 mm) picks.
Bassist Lou Barlow played a Gibson Grabber on Dinosaur Jr.’s first two albums, before switching to an arsenal of Rickenbackers. Years passed and he forgot how much he liked the Grabber and its sound-until the band went on the road in 2015 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut, Dinosaur Jr., and Lou borrowed this Grabber because he wanted the most accurate tone to the original albums. After that tour, Lou traded a Fender bass for the Grabber and it’s been his main ride ever since. He uses Ernie Ball Regular Slinkys (.050-.105) and purple Dunlop Tortex 1.14 mm picks.

I really like the way he dresses. It's so opposite to a 50 year old father. Three Halloween's ago, I went as him to a party with the long white wig, hat, big square glasses, track jacket, hippie beaded necklace... nobody knew who I was going as but they loved my old hippie hipster look. Which js funny cause J is straight edge.

Me and my mate Stevey travelled from Glasgow down to London to see Dinosaur Jr. at the Islington Powerhouse in ‘89. When we got there the queue was enormous and we had no tickets so it looked like we we’d came all that way for nowt! But Stevey had a brainwave, so we called the club from a pub round the corner and asked to speak to Dinosaur’s manager, and told her we’d met J Mascis a few nights before at the Glasgow gig (a lie!) and he said he’d put us on the guest list and that’s why we’d came 600 miles overnight! She was clearly stressed out as the band were due on any minute and she hadn’t the time to check up with J, so she told us to make our way to the door and the security would shout our names out!! So we ran back to the club as fast as….and sure enough a couple of minutes later the door opened and our names were shouted out over the heads of the other ticketless hundreds of unfortunate punters flocking around the door, and we shoved our way through the throng and were dragged into the venue by the security!! The best thing about it was I had my Sony Pro Walkman with me to tape the gig, and they never even searched us!!! That tape is amazing!
