I saw part of that show as well...A&E's format kinda gives me the creeps..its kinda like watching an info-mercial or something.. I dunno...but to my eyes it looked like the band was backlined..like they probably flew them into the studio for the show and hired the gear local. John was getting nice tone..but if you'll notive he was being processed from the board...not on his own. the tones he was getting we nice..but they weren't quite his signature... I was disapointed not to see some kustom up there...if he'd been in our neighborhood I would have been able to provide the proper backline for him...

as to your question on Elliot Eastman... I spoke with him that night as well as his guitar tech..they said that originally they had tried his humbucker rigs..but they just came across too heavey ..it was when he picked up a tele that things started to work...hard to describe..but he had a really sweet woman tone clean but full body'd singing soaring sound.. I've not heard a tele sound that good..there was no twang...but plenty of cut..but not too bright or harsh at all...not really bluesy...more LA but without sounding processed...he clearly knew what he wanted by ordering the vintage 30 speaker load in the slant marshalls.. I was way impressed with the tone..much fuller and nicer than a marshall..not as much of the complicated overtones and brittle brit...the 5150s really surprised me with the Tele in front.
It was an odd gig for me all around..Stu on bass plays on an SVT 8x10 cab but drives it with a Crown 3600 power amp...I did let him know that Ihad a pair of the 2x15 kustom bottoms and the huge old 400 head just like in the old days..and that we also have the old Sunn cabs which he also had used...but it was a festival...one hour of glory..and he just wanted the SVT/Crown rig.. I even told them I would load kustoms on stage at no charge if they just wanted the look...but they are a new band in a new day.. I understand...Stu said he does have a couple old black heads in his storage building somewhere..hasn't dug through there in years...it was 5 am when we got to that part of the conversation and I was dropping him off at the airport so I really couldn't get him to consider digging them out and selling them to me..but I'll keep trying....as far as Fogerty.. hope his new record does well..he's really had a battle through the years and to me he was a very important guitarist..not cause of the kustoms...but because he wrote music that I could learn to play at 14 years old..it was the common man's music...played a ton of his stuff in the garage band days....ET
