Rig Rundown - Kurt Vile & the Violators
Музыка
Article and photos: bit.ly/KurtVileRR
PG’s Chris Kies chilled with Kurt Vile, Rob Laakso, and Jesse Trbovich of the psychedelic folk-rock outfit before their sold-out show at Nashville’s Marathon Music Works on February 25th.
Rob Laasko, like his stringed brother Jesse Trbovich on the other side of the stage, bounces between guitar and bass during shows. His current No. 1 bass is this late ’70s Fender P Bass. (It is worth noting that Laasko mentions in the video that his real No. 1-a vintage B.C. Rich Mockingbird-was “accidentally” left back in Philly.)
The band’s other multi-instrumentalist, Jesse Trbovich, spends most of his stage time with this Fender ’57 Reissue Stratocaster that is all stock aside from a Seymour Duncan Antiquity II Strat Surfer Series in the middle position allowing him to have hum-canceling operation in the second and fourth position. This Strat sees a lot of action in the band’s older material because as Trbovich describes it, “that’s where the vibe was-a Strat and a whammy bar.”
The band’s namesake travels with not one, but two 1964 Fender Jaguars. During an earlier interview with PG, Vile explained his need to have dual ’64s: “I bought it in 2011 when I was on tour. I really focused on getting familiar with it, so much so that I just bought another ’64 Jaguar for the road.” One typically is tuned to standard or down a half-step while the other could be in any number of Vile’s own creative open tunings.

Chris gets to be the cool guy for once.
Kurt Vile is literally the stereotype I think of when I think of a classic stoner rocker from the 90s or some shit, he could easily be in a Wayne's World reprise.

I love how none of Kurt's pedals are set to the levels that are written on them.

Nice. Met him a few weeks ago and sold him a 1960's Gibson J 45. Super nice guys

So many of Kurt’s jokes went right over Chris’ head.
I have no idea who these guys are-but that second dude (Jesse,) IF youre on an airplane and the pilot gets sick-I guarantee this guy could land the plane.
Trbovich seems like the best dude to have in your band.

Nice! Great Rig Rundown
Seen them yesterday in "Die Kantine", COLOGNE/GER - GUYS, seriously, it's been a SUPERB concert, what a drive. FUCKIN' DAMN GOOD sound, nice drums as well, thanks for the fallen ride and other laughs. GREAT ART, just the best fuckin' concert i've ever been to. Greetings from Southern Germany
I've watched this so many times.
I'd love to see a King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard rundown!
That was fun. KV was amusing AF.
awesome rundown
Great stuff. X
A Maná rig rundown would be awesome!!!!! make it happen !! please !

For the doubters, the Beatles played several acoustics through their AC30's too. It's a different sound, but its a cool sound.

looks like a xii body/guard made into a bass vi with a 25.5 to 30" conversion neck. Jazzmaster control plate and jaguar switch plate. Love my VI and itching to get a second. I think I'll go with something like that
Random fact: Laakso means valley in finnish, thanks bye.
The bass/guitar dude is personality incarnate
It's like kurts 14 and 40 at the same time
Lovin' that Fender Bassman.....
yessss
My god they have such cool gear.
YES :D
"flange is a good time" --- something you'd only hear on premier guitar
I wonder if Kurt has since acquired an HX Stomp to replace those 2 Line 6 pedals.
Kurt loves his gear which is very cool
after watching this, i just wanna see the (what has to be a) truck that carries all this gear. logistics-wise this must be a tightly run ship during load out every night

The wh10 is the one and only wah I've ever bought. Not that it's great, more that I got tired of the whole wah thing in about 10 minutes.
38:42, what mic is he using on the Fender Deluxe?
i love how kurt looks scared to touch his amps and pedals
TRBO-Fuzz love it
Love the Sturgill shirt
Definitely a 70's Bassman. Not a 66' or 67'. Probably still sounds good though
Kurt Vile is a younger Tom Hanks.
Damn I want one of those MF Trem. I've got an MF Delay and it may be my favorite pedal.
I have to work 20 years to buy all these equipment's...
Did we ever find out what kind of acoustic guitar that was!! I need to know that Martin 00 style guitar
looks like a 70s model for the bass VI, bigger headstock, so more print. Like my large headstock 70s strat, you get the big STRATOCASTER instead of the puny script.
What song is in the intro?
please do a pavement rig rundown

Saw these guys at the Ryman last weekend. Rob's Marshall malfunctioned on the last song, so they threw up the hidden backup Fender. Just stick with it, dude.
The Moog minifoogers are great pedals, and you can get them pretty cheap ,used.These guys know their sh#t, - listen with their EARS and hear what is actually there.Commited, professional musicians. Jazzmasters are great,- just have to compensate for the wacky pickups with the right pedals.
