The melvins use guitars and Drums cuz they want the best. (gear Trivia and FAQ)

[Dumpster D]

I recently watched The decline of western civilization and notice that the Black flag guitar (not sure what it is, it looks like the Ibanez iceman from the 70s..the clear one with the taped up humbucker) Looks almost identical to the one Buzz whipped out on the last track of The Salad of a thousand Delights show, would I be wrong to assume he aquired it from whats the guys name again...dang...Dez..or something..from Black Flag...

either way please fill me in on that guitar because I think its got a friggin SOUND.

wonder...Anyway, thought this would make a good thread starter for the topic of Gear used and endorsed by the melvins. 

I like Details about who what where when why etc...for example questions such as;

when did Buzz get his first guitar, how much and where...(I know more personal details about Nirvana Bio shit than any oldschool Melvins Nostalgia, just because of all the Fame and books written on Kurt *ahem* shitty movie* , not that Im a follower or have read any Nirvana Bios ever, but bandmates and friends used to tell me stuff from the books)

back to This Arbitrary melvins Discussion;

when did he score that Les paul and why a les paul etc...WHY sunn amps and why certain effects and so on.

what was dales Reaction to dave Grohl totally rocking the Big drumkit too. 

I am Fascinated by their gear selection and would like to know more interesting things about The different stuff and setups they have used from time to time. ( Theres probly been other threads about this stuff but damned IF I can find what Im lookin for)

Like that guitar in the revolve video, What attatchents does Buzz have for his guitars...

maybe you have some pictures of just melvins Gear, I think It deserves its own thread here for sure!!!

Should like to also add, that the new Guitar (the clear one) Reminds me of the Other oldschool one he used Rarely..like on stuff like Hog leg..man, wow did that Oldschool one eve Tear some Ass. That feedback sure is nastyyy on that cocksucker. I want to try it one time.

I wonder how those new guitars are working out. when did he get that one..I mean he had the aluminum one for a few years now..but the clear one has a different sound to it. its probly pretty recent Purchase.

The first wave of plexiglas guitars used by members of Black Flag
and later SST bands like Bl'ast were Ampeg Dan Armstrongs.

Dan Armstrong as in; danelectro guitars..

[WGB]

Nope, ones a company the other is a person.

Danelectro was founded late 40's, Dan Armstrong made guitars for Ampeg in the 70's.
