setup to what he uses live ?
(.014 ??? Are you sure this guy isn't a frustrated bass player ? ;-)

| RE: Dick Dale and "input on the Strat design"
I doubt it, unless it was with minor design changes. If memory serves
me correctly, the strat was designed in '52 or '53 -- which seems terribly
early for Dick Dale to have been an influence.

He didn't say.

Well '53, '54 with additional changes in body contour through '57. He
mentioned body thickness. Anyway, that's what he said.
RE: Hightone
Thanks, Brian. I couldn't remember the name.

| Nice interview with Dick in today's Boston Globe. He's doing two shows
at Johnny D's in Somerville, MA next Thursday (10/7).
Sez he got his inspiration for surf music from his relatives who played
the oud and from drummer Gene Krupa's jungle beats.

I picked up Dick Dale's newest CD , "Unknown Territory" today during
lunch. I'll give it a listen and report on it soon. I've been looking
for something different, and even though I listen to everything from
Dream Theater to Beatles to Stone Temple Pilots, this could be really
DIFFERENT!.
BTW - this CD is also on the hightone label and is copyright 1994.

| The last band I played in was a 60s R n'R/surf band. The other
guitarist was absolutely berserk about Dick Dale (he'd had the
opportunity of meeting him while in the States a few years ago and had
even spent a few days at his house!).
His setup was a total copy of Dick Dale's, i.e. Fender Reissue Strat
(Dick Dale Signature) played through a Twin Reverb (with the reverb
setting constantly at 10!) and those monster strings (014s!). So when
we did all those classic surf instrumentals (Wipeout, Pipeline, Banzai
Washout, California Sun, Surf Beat, Hawaii-Five-0), he had that
twangy, high reverb sound down perfectly. Trouble was, he used
*exactly* the same setup (and playing style!) for the R n'R
numbers...and I'm afraid it just didn't sound right for "Something
Else" by Eddie Cochran or "Hippy Hippy Shake" ;-)
As regards the surf instrumental genre in general (Dick Dale & the
Deltones, the Astronauts, the Trashmen, the Surfaris, the Chantels,
etc.), I think it requires enormous discipline (rather than any great
knowledge of chords/scales) on the part of the guitarist. It's a bit
like the Hank Marvin/Duane Eddy thing; you really have to pick cleanly
if you're playing these single string melody lines. Any errors you make
stick out a mile!
