Nothing As It Seems

All right, when this song is played live, I noticed that our good friend, Mr. Stone Gossard, uses a strat. Does he use some kind of acoustic pedal to recreate the sound? If not, how does he get that cool sound out of a strat?

    Can I take this moment to say "Stone, Please just use an acoustic on this song".

    He probably uses the strat so he doesn't have to worry about feedback.

    Wouldn't using the strat create more feedback??

    no, if it was an electro-acoustic it would have a tendency to feeback more than a strat would. the extra resonance in the soundhole causes them to squeal like fuck.

    VERY interesting! I didn't know that. So on an acoustic amp, is there reverb at all?

    I'm pretty sure most good acoustic amps come with reverb

    I tried running an acoustic through an electric amp it sounded TERRIBLE. What's the difference?

    I think there is a difference, personally. I mean, either way probably would suffice for me, but I'm pretty fuckin' happy with his on-going NAIS set-up. Hell, the whole band (well, of course Mike in particular) just absolutely kick so much ass playing this song live. Sorry, I don't really have much to contribute here other than I hope they play this song in Hawaii.

    Those Fishman power bridges are pretty nifty. I used to have a Parker that had one. I could blend single coil and acoustic tones, or just have acoustic running.

    Honestly though, it sounded more like a processed novelty than anything else, especially live.
