Rig Rundown - Toadies

Article & photos: http://bit.ly/ToadiesRR For a quarter of a century, Vaden Todd Lewis and his band has been spreading alt-rock jams around the world. Lewis, guitarist Clark Vogeler and bassist Doni Blair did a pre-soundcheck chat with PG before their sold-out show at Nashville’s Exit/In. Vaden Lewis tours with two nearly identical Gibson SG ’61 reissues, both stock with ’57 Classic pickups. These SGs stay strung up with Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky strings. Blair plays a Fender Steve Harris Precision bass that features Seymour Duncan Steve Harris SPB-4 pickups and a Fender High-Mass bridge. Blair strings this beast with Ernie Ball (.045–.105) strings. Vogeler spends most of his time on this “parts” guitar he helped assemble. He started with a Warmoth Jazzmaster body that he routed out for a Floyd Rose tremolo. Next, he added a Warmoth Strat neck with a string lock. The last ingredients are two Seymour Duncan pickups. Continue learning about the band's gear: http://bit.ly/ToadiesRR
