Amino Moore Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I'm not a huge fan of theirs but I just finished watching the Lifehouse concert on PBS Soundstage. They had a really tight live sound. They used mostly Gibson guitars but the singer, Jason Wade, also used a Casino. Their lead player used a 12 string Riviera and a Casino on a couple of songs. He had the biggest pedalboard I've ever seen. Lots of delays and vibrato/tremolo stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rented Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Josh from QOTSA plays Epi Dot's pretty often as seen in this video from around 05-06. Alain was playing an Epi Bass alot when he toured with them and it looks like he's playing one here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressive collection of Casino's and Gibby hollow bodies, including an old 330... On stage live- those P90's really growl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxst1281733995 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 That Jack Casady bass sounds pretty ballsy in that clip! I've been thinking about getting one since they first came out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I bought The Best of The Johnny Cash TV Show on DVD the other day, and Carl Perkins played an Epi for his performance of Blue Suede Shoes. I don't know what model it was, but someone might: Hollowbody, single cutaway, thinline, oversized (Sheraton-style) headstock. It was shot sometime between 1969 and 1971. It looked like a Kat, but bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm watching Letterman now, and the Vampire Weekend started playing... I wasn't paying attention, but I could hear them... I thought "that must be a Sheraton" And I looked up, and it was. The bass player was playing something that looked like a Sorrento, but I couldn't tell. The reception's terrible, but I think it had a Gibson headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluemans335 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 There's players in the blues world (with CD's and who tour) that play and record with Asian-made Epi's: Duke Robillard, Luther Allison, Larry Garner, Dave Spector, and Rusty Zinn (played with Kim Wilson and other blues bands). I talked to Rusty Zinn a couple years ago when he was on tour playing with Mark Hummel (during a break in the gig). He was touring with a Korean Riviera as his main guitar, that he bought used for $350 and he kept it stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
