Sorry, I just believe in giving credit where credit is due: When I uploaded Cushy Tush to Youtube, I gave Werner due credit.

Damn, you're more resourceful than the both of us, Werner.

Does the Rockpalast video give any clues how he had the switch at that gig? Getty has PLB on bridge PU - and we don't have to argue from when that was, as it's obvious. http://www.gettyimages.nl/detail/85842772/Redferns As for Teles, he's not always had that taped: http://www.gettyimages.nl/detail/...

I thought we had a very spirited and enlightening discussion, and I learned a great deal from this thread, too. Can we continue to discuss these matters under a new sub-heading?

There are two other Peter Buck threads...

We're all Peter Bucking someone - Just not Peter Buck.

I believe David is a lawyer. Another reason why trying to reason with him is moot. I'm sure he'll find a way to argue that he is Peter Buck without being Peter Buck.

I use online tabs as a reference - Not a Bible. The regular ones on Ultimate Guitar are actually pretty good. When I got my 620/12, I was on there immediately learning the songs I could never duplicate without the 12 string.

My next Ric will be just like the previous two I purchased, a 610-6. I've been looking for these for the past year and they don't come around very often. As a matter of fact I've bought the only two that have come up on e-Bay since January. Am also considering a 610-12, of which there seems to be m...

It was a joke; I love any and all REM talk. Besides, the Vikes are getting killed...again! ...wisdom Ehh. It's getting to where I feel I've had my share. I closed OurREM; don't really care to talk much on message boards anymore. That being said, I don't care what settings Peter uses anymore. 8) To ...

I regret the fact that my browser is giving me problems, which means I don't have access to all the live photos and concert footage you guys are using to bolster your respective arguments. Most of my knowledge of the YouTube stuff comes from memory. I do agree with Indianation that this thread has ...

The "knob" that "replaces" the pickup selector looks like the tape I refer to above. I'm talking about the 360, not the Tele - we already knew and agreed that Peter used tape to keep the Tele selector switch on a certain setting. The only humbucker is in the neck. The bridge is ...

Okay, I think I've got it straight. Black Tele Custom for the 1984 Old Grey Whistle Test show. Natural Tele Thinline for the 1985 Raleigh, NC one. Can anyone speculate on how he gets so much jangle from humbuckers? Is this uncommon? The only humbucker is in the neck. The bridge is a single coil. Th...

Thanks for the clarification, David. I had speculated that Peter used to play "Pretty Persuasion" on what looked like a Tele Thinline, but you correctly identified the guitar as a black Tele Custom. That's the one on the 1984 Old Grey Whistle Test footage and on the Raleigh, NC stuff circ...

I'm not heated at all. I am just not a fan of... Well, I believe it takes two to tango, and in this case, I am letting my feelings be known, and letting it drop. You won't be seeing any more hostility from me in this thread.

what is widely accepted to be the best You give me what is widely accepted and I drag over a whole bunch of people who don't agree on what you said! This whole thread has become a sad, useless exercise in trying to prove one owns opinion/views of the subject is leading. But why would you pick one R...

In the pics and video it looks to me that he mostly has the bridge on. It doesn't sound like he has both on, especially if you take your own Ric, pump up the neck pickup, and see how bassy it sounds. His is very bright. You forget that I was the one who brought up the middle position theory; I just ...
