Question
ok well i have been into sublime for going on 5 years and i just wanted to know what were all of and how many guitars did brad have i know he had the ibanez and the brown guitar am i missing any?? thanks
Answer
Hey dee..you have his two main guitars covered.He did play a few others once in a while..a no named strat knock off with two humbuckers..looked like a washburn..had a bunch of stickers on it and shit.
I've actually seen one video of him playing a les paul..my guess is it was one of the other bands guitars an he played it out of neccessity at the time.
Towards the end of his career it wasn't unusual for brad to pawn off his guitars,amps,equipment to pay for his drug habit.Before the show the band or miquel would have to go back and buy back the instruments before the show went on..sometimes they'd by a cheap guitar on hand in case that happend they'd still have a back up for him to play on.
From about 1995 on though he played the brown dan macdonald almost exclusivley..on switching to the ibanez if he broke a string...but he really liked the brown model(the ibanez was pretty beat up by then)..and if he used the ibanez he'd have to contour all of his amp settings to fit that guitar..he just really loved that brown one!
Hope this helps dee..,.take care.,.,.andy=}
