Members tenoken Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 Someone save this thread from the Tele basher! p.s. the drummer in that second (later) Dick Dale video has the wrong technique and ruins the surf vibe. He should be in a RHCP cover band or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wednesdaysworse Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 Try some flatwounds. Was most available string in the '60's. Been there. Mermen best "modern" surf stuff IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members erksin Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 dude i own a tele, i just think he butchered that one, so someone please tell me what pick ups they are and why they're true to a tele's signature sound? First of all, asshat - I didn't butcher anything. It's a Warmoth Tele body pre-routed for humbuckers. Second, the pickups are Harmonic Design Z-90s - a cross between a P-90 and a Jazzmaster with a huge clear tone. I wasn't going for a signature Tele sound - if I was, I'd have selected the proper pickups.I'm gonna guess I've been around the block a few more times that you have - I know my {censored}. I'd refrain from popping off until you know yours.Now, don't you have a paper route to finish..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the Mermen stuff is okay. But some of it sounds like U2 or the Cure or something. Too much modulation and over processed production.

Members erksin Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 And yeah - you sound like an authority on the subject of modifying Telecasters. Any pics, Leo..?i frequently stab my tele with a screw driver. i also banged it into this metal bar in my basement a lot, but that ruined my input jack and tone pot, so no more of that.

Any pics, Leo..? yawn... is that best you got? besides i was under the impression you butchered some fender guitar, not a body. that image is forever burned into my brain, i dont know i'll ever be able to look at my tele without tearing up and giving it a big sloppy kiss for staying so beautiful.

Members Rushfan2112 Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 Last I checked Erksin has one of the best looking (and sounding) non-classic Telecasters ever.My surf tone is a Jazzmaster into a Blues Junior, though I never really play surf. Or jazz for that matter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Urinate Forever Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 Try not to get any cheetos dust on it, fatboy - unless thats another one of your relicing secrets. hahaa what're you talking about man? where'd you get the idea to call me fat? and when did i ever talk about relicing my guitar, i said i noticed the finish was really thick on my tele because i stabbed it with a screw driver once. i didnt stab it to make it look cool, i did it to cover up something i wrote in permanent marker that wasn't funny.

Members tenoken Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 Ya'll shake hands now, and share some Cheetoh's. Back to the main topic.... Loud, clean, bright guitar with a vibrato bar At least 10 gauge strings At least .73mm picks Fender, Ampeg or ? amp w/ spring reverb Tremolo pedal What else?

Members DonaldDemon Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 To me, the essentials are single coil/lipstick pup's, bolt on neck, tremolo bar, fender style compressed clean amp, true spring large tank reverb. I have seen Dick Dale a few times and he always uses a Strat with single coils into a Fender Vibrolux(?) with a huge outboard reverb tank. I mean HUGE. I would love to get the smaller Fender Reverb Tank but they're expensive and it would be too much to lug to gigs. For my surf sound I use my Am Strat into My Rivera M-60, clean channel w/ some preamp gain and reverb cranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Funky Chowder Posted August 9, 2007 Members Share Posted August 9, 2007 Not unlike most people's suggestions so far, I go with using thick strings and picking near my Strat's bridge pickup with sutble vibrato (from either the guitar's "tremolo" arm or pedal-wise) into a Silverface Twin (more often than not, substituted with a DRRI for gigging purposes) with a bit of reverb.
