Anyone know what kind of rig Mike Ness is running in Social Distortion. I can't really make it all out in the new DVD. Not sure what kind of Fender amp he's using, although I do believe he's using a boss SD-1 pedal in front. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Can you describe the amp - size, color, etc. I've seen Mike Ness play once but wasn't paying attention to the gear.

In case you haven't seen it before - http://www.guitargeek.com - Mike Ness and Social D aren't listed but it's a cool site anyway - look up Nirvana, Pixies, MBV, etc. to see what it's like.

I have seen him a couple of times and he was playing what seemed to be a Les Paul Pro. It had P-90's, fo' sure. I had great luck duplicating his sound with a P90 guitar and a Boogie Studio .22+, but I have seen him with Marshalls and two tweed amps of some sort (might have been when Peavey Classic 4x10's first came out).

Good luck!

Ceterisparibus,

Thanks for the link. It would appear he's using a couple bassman heads judging from the 2 sets of 3 knobs across the face. Take care.
