(for people who like that sort of thing)
Pete Manoff: guitar Chris Letrello: drums Sam Nicoloff: bass
PETE: Fender Strats, the more the merrier. His main stage guitars are early 90's American Standards, an Olympic White with a rosewood f/board with Joe Barden "side-stacked" Strat pickups, and a gray one with DiMarzios. After weeding out his collection a bit, at home he now has a 73' Olympic White and a mid-70's natural ash. He has finally fallen prey to the lure of the new badass handmade "boutique" amps, and bought a Victoria amp that sounds very, very good. The rest are old Fenders, a 1950 Deluxe, a 1962 Brown Deluxe, and a silver face Deluxe Reverb. Strings are Fender 150's and pedals are Boss. Also rounding out things is the Sound Enhancer amp stand.
CHRIS: drum kits: Ludwig, cranberry sparkle, late 60's, mint condition, you should see this sometime, it is huge, mint, and super trick. Also, a Pearl Export set in mirror chrome, it sounds fantastic. The BRAND NEW kit is a mid-90's Ludwig Classic Maple in transparent blue, very cool, very loud, sounds great. Chris Letrello now with a 6-1/2" wood snare. What is this world coming to? Cymbals are A. Zildjian, heads are Remo, and sticks are Pro-Mark.
SAM: bass: custom ash-body Jazz bass with Fender Bullet maple neck, Bartolini pickups, and Schaller hardware. There is also a '75 Fender Precision with a fretless neck. Speaker cabinets are custom Black Dog cabinets made by Danny Pace with Eminence speakers, and they are driven by a 95-lb. Mackie power amp that gets real loud if you want it to.
Strings are D'Addario Nickel XL.
