Hi Justin (and the rest of the forum),
Love the new Paramore material, it sounds great! I'm interested in what equipment Jeremy used in the studio, particularly his basses. I found this photo on his twitter: 
And was really surprised to see a Hofner there, is that for a new track? Also, what are the basses with pointy headstocks? They almost look like Grabbers but the body is too angled.
Like I said, it sounds great so any insight to the creation would be great!
Thanks

| | | | Gibson G3's namely. We used them extensively on the record, along with Rippers and Grabbers, some J's, P's. All over the shop. And yes, the Hofner as well, which is now part of the live rig.

Maybe my eyes are going mad! |

Didn't know there was a bigger scale J if it is. Great to see a bit of JMJ rubbing off on JD, his past J deluxe and custom J deluxe tone was pretty pedestrian and boring in the mix! |

Just wondering if you could give any insight to what pedals Jeremy used on the album? And also (probably not) what pedals he's currently using live?
I saw a picture on twitter from last year of Jeremy with a P bass with a bunch of pedals at his feet but it was all blurry and instagram'd and I couldn't see what they were. |

| | | | I think I'd rather leave it for him or his tech Riley to reveal...lots of stuff was used, it was all over the map. Mostly newer boutique offerings. One thing that worked well for him was a combination of a GT2, a VTBass and a Microtubes B7k all cascading serial. But we got a lot deeper than that with some more specialized pedals too.

I miss mine, too much coffee table bass in my life.
