  • Jack White
    Oct 30 2024
    It’s been a busy year for Jack White. The enigmatic artist and Third Man Records boss rolled out his sixth solo album, No Name, this summer, first as secret, unmarked vinyls distributed to Third Man customers, then with a full-blown digital release on August 2. He celebrated the record with a tour of last-minute-notice, small-room gigs around the U.S., proving that mystery and randomness can still exist in the world of algorithms and overblown marketing. That’s not all. In September, Fender and White launched a line of signature products that were years in the making, including the eye-popping Pano Verb amplifier and feature-packed Triplecaster. PG’s John Bohlinger scored an invite to White’s Nashville headquarters to do a full walk-through of White’s current touring rig, courtesy of tech and collaborator Dan Mancini. Here’s a sneak peek at some key pieces of White’s arsenal, but you’ll have to watch the full rundown to catch Jack’s custom Jazzmaster with some Mancini-executed “redneck engineering,” his new Triplesonic Acoustasonic model, and a cameo from the Third Man himself—right after Bohlinger accidentally breaks one of his guitars.Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/jack-whiteSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeShop Jack White's Gear:Jack White Triplesonic Acoustasonic Telecaster - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/yqggv3Jack White Triplecaster Telecaster - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Jz9MbRFender Jack White Pano Verb - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/g1mxPrCustom Fender Jazzmaster - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/K0KKGNBoss TU-3w - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/750ngORadial Big Shot ABY - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/EKxXzDDunlop 535Q Cry Baby - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/k0MGAvDigitech Whammy - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/q4LBROISP Technologies Deci-Mate - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/LKaa1MThird Man Records x Gamechanger Audio Plasma Coil - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Dy00m2Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/jack-whiteSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPG Don't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook:

    Matt Freeman's Bass Bunker: https://youtube.com/@MattFreemansBassBunker

    This summer, a Bay Area punk-rock extravaganza rolled across the world. In support of the 30th and 20th anniversaries of their records Dookie and American Idiot, Green Day arranged the summer’s best stadium-rock tour, with support from Smashing Pumpkins and fellow Bay bashers Rancid.

    PG’s Chris Kies met up with Rancid bassist Matt Freeman just before the tour’s stop at Nashville’s Geodis Park.

    In this Rundown, in addition to trotting out his breadwinner bass rig, Freeman tells Kies his bass origin story, including his early and enduring influences, and shares how he developed a unique playing style suited to his smaller hands. Later, tech Warren Lee takes over to give us the scoop on Freeman’s backstage rack. Tune in to get the details.

  • Olivia Rodrigo's Band Rig Rundown with Emily Rosenfield, Moa Munoz & Daisy Spencer
    Oct 9 2024

    Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/olivia-rodrigo

    Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts was last year’s pop-rock album of the year, with singles like “All-American Bitch,” “Get Him Back!,” and “Bad Idea Right?” igniting a revival of early-’00s pop-punk, but with quite a bit more nuance and grit.

    Rodrigo’s tour behind the critically acclaimed record has been rolling around the world since February. To bring it on the road, the star has hired guitarists Emily Rosenfield and Daisy Spencer, along with bassist Moa Munoz. PG’s Chris Kies caught up with the three musicians before Rodrigo’s show at San Francisco’s Chase Center in early August to see what gear powers the pop-rock machine.


    Special thanks for helping out to guitar techs Luis Munoz and Maurizio Pino.
