I have a ton of old guitar magazines so i can check. I know he was using the Fish but I'm not 100% sure he used it on Facelift.
And yes, the rhythm tone on Facelift just crushes. That's a great album, i like it better than Dirt.

Nice work Mr. Fly.Posted from the Bogner forum (http://bognerampforum.informe.com/fish-reissue-2008-dt706.html
I have always heard the actual recording of "Facelift" was a Bogner modified JCM800. So this story coincides what I've always heard. This guy (I think) has been verified as legit. Jerry's live tone though was actually the Fish, from what I've heard.
I'm very sure Reinhold hadn't even invented the Shiva during the "Dirt" period.

i actually recall reading an interview YEARS ago and him stating he played a JCM800 Combo for Facelift and his G& L. its my fav AIC record and I'll never forget their first tour at Universal Amphitheatre in Orange County, CA where they opened for Van Halen on the F.U.C.K tour and Eddie came out jammed with him on Man in a Box! You should have seen the look on Jerry's face..classic moment

Not a chance....eventually he will become weak or his kids will need braces, and he's already given me dibs
Besides, I already passed one deal on to you that I should've nabbed for myself
Side note about the telecaster statement. I remember reading a quote, by Kim Thayil of Soundgarden, in an ancient article saying that a lot of the heavy tracks on BadMotorfinger were done with a telecaster and those pups translated to some massive tones and it surprised people. (probably through some kinda modded/boosted marshall as well?) I've been listening to that lately and there is a lot of cool stuff going on in that disc. Interesting that there is a claim that another awesome heavy tone (Cantrell/Facelift) was by tele, too. Who'd have thought that?

You're going to create a feeding frenzy with the Cantrell tone chasers.

I meet Jerry when he was working at a gas station.
Bought him a hamburger when he had no job and laughed at him
when he said "I do not need a job I'm going to play guitar".
He still says hi when I run into him.
It has been years now.
Larry Brewer is one of my best friends.
Just go look at the credits of Badmoterfinger and a shit load of other records to see who he is.
The whole Seattle music thing was made out of about 25/30 people.
This included band members.
About the time things broke the circle was very small and I know most of them.
I know the guy who sold him the amp he used on some of it. I well try to give him a call this weekend to see what he remembers.

I got one.
When I lived in CA a year or so ago, I go check out this amp on Craigslist.
It's listed as "Bogner Modded Marshall". I go check it out the guy is some studio musician guy plays on peoples songs and such. So I play the amp through a 70' Marshall cab, and it sounds good.
I asked him how he came about the mod, somehow he had some connect to Bogner and he said he was at Bogner's shop and he basically was tweaking the head while he was playing till he got it.
Maybe I should have bought it.
The thing that turned me off was that the thing had more knobs and switches than the flight deck of the space shuttle.
I figured I would be turning knobs all day instead of playing.
But when he was showing me the amp he was playing a Tele..........................
ALthough I don't remember him saying anything about prducing recording anyones albums.
Turns out also the guy is from back east and when I told Greazygeo about it, he knew who the guy was frm the scene back there.

Heh...they can frenzy all they want. That tone is actually a lot closer than they may realize. My XTC Classic has it in spades...the larger contributor is the feel factor thats unique to the player...

Back in the mid 90's when the band I was in practiced at NAFT ~ AIC room was on one side and Sound Garden was on the other. Most of the "big" bands around were playing there. I had seen Jerry play thru a number of rigs. Jerry sounds like Jerry.
It always killed me when I would turn around and 10 or 15 of these guys would be standing there.
I would be thinking "God I sound like shit today". and crack me up when I would see one them play one of my riffs. A few of them told me they knew how to play all my songs.
