Jeff talks about one of the basses he used on the new Chesterfield Kings album, his 1966 Gibson EB2 bass… and he played it through a cool old Ampeg SVT bass amp with an 8X10 cabinet. BTW, Jeff plays real LOUD! instagram.com/reel/DFaWjUtOh…

A 1966 Vox Super Beatle amp is how we got the sound on the song Fly The Astral Plane. Ted explains the cool tremolo fuzz sound we got out of the Super Beatle using one of the Gretsch guitars he used on the new Chesterfield Kings album.

John talks about our vintage 1965 Vox Continental Organ with the wood keys that he used on our new album. We’ve had this same organ since the early 80’s and have used it on every Chesterfield Kings' recorded. This instrument has been all over the world with us a ton of times!!

Andy doing an overdub on a 1912 Steinway Model O Grand Piano that he bought a few years ago that was refurbished at the Steinway & Sons factory. It plays and sounds Amazing! We used it all over the new Chesterfield Kings LP.
