Instro-rock, fully greased

Get ready to have your funtime socks knocked off, ‘cuz this exclusive Nick Moss run through “Scratch N Sniff” is dangerous! A track from his latest album, “Get Your Back Into It!,” he’s doing it with his Fender Custom Shop ’53 Tele plugged into a ’57 Valco Tonemaster (in black and tan, on the shelf in front of him) with a Catalinbread Topanga Spring Reverb doin’ work. Bassist Rodrigo Mantovani is playing a ’60s St. George running through a ’70s Ampeg, and drummer Pierce Downer is using his ’60s Rogers kit with ’50s Zildjians. Keen-eyed guitarheads will also spy a reissue Epi Casino, a late-’60s Riviera, a Grez copy of Nick’s ’54 ES-350, a Dano Longhorn Bass reissue, ’53 Les Paul, ’57-reissue P Bass, ’58 Les Paul Special, a Talion, and a parts Tele.
