Death Cab For Cutie

Post by brianeharmonjr »

Not their best song or performance, but Chris is using a 660/12 MG.

A bunch of my school friends like this band, one of them said this band have a Beatles/Stones kinda feel to them. Nice to see they're keeping it true to the 60s and using Rickenbackers!

I've got a couple of their albums, definitely some good stuff there. I didn't know they played Ricks, glad to hear they do!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

That's the best overdriven sound I've ever heard anyone get out of toaster pups. Gives me a little hope that perhaps I can achieve something similar with my 660/12 . . . :D

I absolutely love Death Cab----I agree, it's not one of their best performances, but if anybody is new to this band----I highly recommend checking them out further. Transatlanticism was brilliant.

I caught the last 20 minutes of their Soundstage performance on PBS last night. The one guitar player played a 360 with a Bigsby. a 330 with an Accent VB, and a 660. He switched to a different Rick every song (for the 4 songs I saw).

i saw that soundstage show too,(thought i was watching tom petty at first,what with all the different rick guitars!) they have really become much more dynamic performers since i first saw them on austin city limits a few years back.
