Bass equipment

[SpacemanSpliff]

Anybody got detailed information about the equipment Adam Yauch uses live or in the studio? Pedals? Amps? Guitars? ...

Thx!

Yauch used an Ampeg bass in AIFST

[Laver1969]

I could have sworn Yauch answered this here once upon a time. *off to the search engine*

The thread about CYH's cover made me look at the IC cover (it was brought up as well) and then I opened it up and right on the back of the booklet it says "Fender Jazz, Zelinger and Acoustic Uprights: MC Adam Yauch".

Then it says "Trap Kits: Mike D" and "Guitar: Adrock"

some more of adams equipment i could identify during the last gigs:

- old school looking ampeg tube amp + ampeg speakers (2x10" + 2x15"?)

- univox super fuzz pedal

- dna bass dragger BD-1 distortion or fuzz pedal

- that white pedal ... maybe chromatic tuner?

- some channel-switching-footboard

- red ampeg vintage "scroll"(?) bass, he also has a green one, yammmie!

- old fender bass

anybody more details? adam? :-)

BY THE WAY .... the live version of "jimmy james" really kicks ass, my favorite live-song at the moment! what effect/pedal did AdRock uses with his hands in the beginning of that song ... where he used his guitar-feedback sound as input signal for that device? any idea? maybe a sampling or scratching effect?

Ad-Rock’s main guitar is a Gibson Melody Maker and his backup is a custom Fender. He is using an Ampeg Reverberocket with an SM57 mic on it. On his stage setup, on the Plexiglas table, he has a Korg synth/vocoder, Maxxon analog delay and a custom mute switch. His footpedals include a Boss PH-2 Super Phaser, Ultra-Harmonix Little Big Muff and Pulsar, Dunlop Crybaby wah, Boss DD-3 digital delay, Dunlop volume pedal and a Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner.
