James Williamson Equipment

If anyone knows, then can anyone mention what equipment James used when he was in the Stooges (Pre-Raw Power Demos, Raw Power, Live) and on Kill City... Thanks a lot!

wow, great question !

PS - i love Kill City !

hey, can you post a big pic of your avatar ??? thats BADASS !!

i'd like to know more about james' equipment, at least more detailed, what i do konw is that he used a VOX AC30 live, but a Marshall amp for recording (or vice versa, cant remember) um he stated he used a gibson B25, but i looked it up and its an acoustic, so he may have gotten it wrong, um otherwise, as far as guitars its gibson all the way with him, saw him using a flying V once, i think, maybe thats ron, aye its ron, but yeh, gibson, dunno specific models, so someone please enlighten us


HJW

you used a sunburst gibson i believe. and it was a gibson classic model. live he used marshall most of the time... ACVOX 30 is a recording amp. so im sure thats what he used in the studio for at least alot of the stuff...

cheers

gibson classic and sunburst as in Les Paul gibson?

to homesickjameswilliamson...

that acustic may be the one he used fot the acoustic parts on raw power?

probly, now that u mention it, either that or it was the guitar he composed them on rather than record, dunno, read it on open up and bleed blog interview

Ok, this is what we have so far? I just tried to organize it a little... and we can edit it as we go along, and know more...


Guitars:

Gibson Les Paul 1970s Sunburst Custom

Gibson acoustic B25 (Most of the Raw power songs was written on this one)

Martin D40 (Acoustic guitar used on Raw Power)

Amp:

VOX AC30 (Rythm on Raw Power)

* Updated, Thanks to Paul!

the b 25 is an amp. gibson b25 amp.

the Guitar was A sunburst Gibson Classic

Sure? when you google gibson b25 there comes a acoustic guitar with the same name...

Gibson sunburst classic as in Gibson sunburst les paul Classic?

I've just checked, via an email direct from the horse's mouth. The Gibson was an acoustic, a B25 natural, which he bought in London and on whcih he wrote most of the Raw POwer material. He still has it today. His Les Paul is a 1970s SUnburst Custom. ALl the rhythm work on Raw Power was amplified via a VOx AC30, with most of the lead on a Marshall. The acoustic guitar you can hear on Raw Power is a Martin D40, because it had a bigger sound on record than the Gibson.

For live work James mostly used Marshall stacks, altho occasionally they'd use whatever was available, including Fender Twins.

thanks paul

Yeah thanks Paul... I updated the my post so it was correct... maybe I should put it in the first post so everyone can se it, and post other things if they find out something?!

Thanks paul, as soon as i make a few million im gonna buy all those guitars/amps, i love the raw power sound, i get a razor edge-d-enuff sound out of a marshall myself, and a gibson, nicknamed the guitar 'mick jagger' cos of its jagged edge, lol, altho i broke that one, really liked it too

thanks again
