Dave Eringa's Gear
Dave talks about all his canny gear purchases. These are his favourite pieces from his website:
Nerd Alert!
Gear List. Here's a nerdy equipment list of all the old stuff dave has to play with!
Guitars
1959 Les Paul Special : My baby! The body is a single piece of wood & it rings like a bell!
Gibson Accoustic : Don’t know the model, but it was a gift from James DB & its dead good!
Guitar Amps
Diezel Einstein 50W Head : Diezel heads just blow me away & this one has 4 channels, from aggressive, percussive, toneful, surprisingly fender’y clean, to ridiculous amounts of gain & everything inbetween, its definitely my most versatile amp & I love it!
1975 MKII 100W Marshall Super Lead : You can’t argue with these, it only does one thing, but it does it SO well! Pure glorious, barking, British distortion.
