Ici, je vais faire un post regroupant certains guitaristes ayant accompagné David Bowie
Carlos Alomar
Le matériel du glass spider tour :
Carlos Alomar, on the other hand, is using six Kramer American series guitars and one custom Alembic, with GHS strings. He likes collecting Boss effects: the DD-3, CE-3, OD-3, GE-7, HMD and PSM-5. He also has three (count `em) racks. Rack 1 holds a Photon MIDI converter (K-Muse); Yamaha MJC-8, MEP4 and two TX812s, Prophet VS, Roland Super JX MKS-70 and Super Jupiter MKS-80; Akai S900; and Quark Long Range MIDI 2. Rack 2 has a spare Photon MIDI converter; Yamaha MEP4, EQ-2031, two MV802s and two SPX90s; dbx 166; Roland DEP5; t.c. electronic 2290; Rocktron distortion; and two spare Quark Long Range MIDI 2s. Over in rack 3, we've got a Southworth Jambox; Apple Macintosh Plus; Hyperdrive FX20; and software by Southworth (MIDI Paint) and Digidesign (Softsynth and S900). All three racks have a Furman PL-8 Plus. Alomar has a Yamaha wireless system, and plays through two Roland JC-120s with Electro-Voice Pro Lines.
Peter Frampton, sur la même tournée :
On David Bowie's "Glass Spider" tour, Peter Frampton is playing two Pensa-Suhr Strat types, hand-made by New York-based John Suhr. "The one I'm using most," the guitarist says, "is a natural-finish maple body." The have Seymore Duncan humbucker pickups in the necks and bridge, and an "almost Strat" pickup in the middle. His strings are Ovation Kamans, .009" to .042". He also has a Fender Telecaster and for "Zeroes", a Coral electric sitar with Danelectro-type pickups. The then owner of Electric Lady Studios gave the sitar to Frampton in the late 70s; it was formerly owned by Jimi Hendrix. Other strings used are by D'Addario, GHS and Ernie Ball. His guitar straps are by Earth III; Frampton makes his picks himself from a die based on an old Hofner design: very stiff, small and thick. A custom computer switching system by Bob Bradshaw controls Frampton's effects, each of which can be MIDI'd. On his rack are an Eventide 969 harmonizer, t.c. electronic 2290 digital effects and 1210 spatial expander, two Yamaha D1500 DDLs and an SPX90 digital effects, Lexicon PCM70 digital processor, Roland SRV2000 reverb and SDD320 Dimension D, two Rocktron Hush IIC noise reduction units, a Mutron octave divider, Foxx fuzztone, Urei1176LN limiter and Boss Turbo overdrive pedal. For a clean sound, Frampton uses a Rane PE15 equalizer with the Urei limiter. For "rhythm crunch", he plays through a MESA/Boogie Mk.III-C and Marshall Lead 12 amp. His main lead sound is a modified Marshall 100-watt bass and MESA/Boogie Mk.III Coliseum 300. All his effects go through two Rane stereo SM26 mixers and two new Marshall 4z12 cabinets enclosing Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. Connectors are Switchcrafts and Neutriks, cables by Connectronics. Monster Cable, Belden and Mogami. In addition, Frampton has two wireless units: a Nady 701 for his guitar, and a Yamaha for the Coral sitar.
