Jeff and the 12-strings.....

Hi y'all, I'm new here. I'm trying to put together a list of all the songs Jeff used his 12-strings on-- does anyone know where I could find some of this info?

I think I have most of the obvious ones-- Jeremy, Animal, Go, Deep, Why Go, Leash, Blood, Habit*... and some like Breakerfall I'm just not sure of.

This is, however, just going by my ears, and I could be wrong, and I could also be missing many of them, so if someone could help I'd greatly appreciate it.

My ears tell me Present Tense is a 12-string with a flanger, but I could be wrong.

*Also, is it true that Stone played bass on Habit?

Thanks!

    stone didn't play bass on habit. (or maybe he did on the recorded version, but i doubt it)

    he DID play bass on Other Side (b-side Riot Act) and Jeff played guitar.

    i don't think he used it on present tense because the bass solos at the end sound like a 4 string... but then again i've never seen that song being played.
    Come on pilgrim you know he loves you..

    I'm still working on this....anyone know if there's some way I could drop the man himself or the management a line and ask them personally?

    The SNL version of Rearviewmirror has Jeff using his 12 string electric bass. I know for a fact however, when I saw him live earlier in May, he didn't use it. Thought you might like to know that. Stone plays Bass on Smile while Jeff plays lead guitar.

    yeah, I think the last time I saw Jeff using a 12ver was around 2000 or 2001...More recently he seems to have done those songs on 4-strings, and the 12ver gets brought out just for Jeremy....can kinda understand why, myself, I have a Hamer 12 (different model) and they can be a bit of a challenge onstage....
