Members seifukusha Posted November 18, 2008 Members Share Posted November 18, 2008 well, we know that. I got the book Born to Boogie and its superawesum. Its got him playing an acoustic hooked up to a colorsound wah and looks like a maestro fuzz or smething. So, i dug out Electric Warrior and I love the textures on it. Esp how he';ll have his fuzzed up guitar solos so out of the mix and loud. fun and great stuff. Ever get the feeling Prince got his singing style partially from Marc? fans? anyone else got a picture of him with his pedals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members orangesix Posted November 18, 2008 Members Share Posted November 18, 2008 Great Band! Great Artist! Marc Bolan is somewhat known amognst some music lovers, but highly underrated. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LowWoods Posted November 18, 2008 Members Share Posted November 18, 2008 He has some of the coolest tones I've yet to hear. I read up on his gear at one point to see if I could get close to his tone. A germanium treble booster was the most available thing I could get. Still couldn't get close to his chewy, bright tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cobalt-60 Posted November 18, 2008 Members Share Posted November 18, 2008 That's awesome. I'm glad I didn't waste 20 minutes of my life for nothing. I wonder whats worse... a) the fact I did itb) the fact it's bothering me that I falsely remembered him playing a Flying V on the cover ... oh well, I needed the practice.

Members LowWoods Posted November 18, 2008 Members Share Posted November 18, 2008 He did play a V from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cobalt-60 Posted November 18, 2008 Members Share Posted November 18, 2008 He did play a V from time to time. Yeah, I remember reading how it was stolen from his apartment immediately after it was announced he died, and I assumed that was what he always played. Then, after I finished the picture, I went to copy the logo of the album, and realized my error. So I guess that was his secondary guitar. Man, bad perm aside, what a bad ass. Maybe he just really wanted to be like Syd Barrett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Folky_Grunge Posted November 18, 2008 Members Share Posted November 18, 2008 Marc Bolan kicks (well, kicked - damn Gloria Jones' lack of driving skill!) all kinds of ass. I listen to T. Rex all the time, and I'm only 18. I think I'm probably the biggest T. Rex fan my age on the planet, especially outside of England, since T. Rex is basically an obscure one-hit wonder in the US. A few months ago, I built a Rangemaster clone just because I wanted to get closer to Marc's tone; I even used the same kind of transistor that was supposed to be in Marc's.

Members ibentmywookie Posted November 18, 2008 Members Share Posted November 18, 2008 I know the pedal between the wah and the rangemaster is a HORNBY SKEWES SHATTERBOX, which is a Zonk II and a Treble Booster combined into one pedal. ... what do we have here?
