Thanks Steve for posting this very entertaining Hank makes it all look so effortless when playing what a maestro of the guitar and it all sounds so good. Pete  |

1997 was the first tour Hank did using EFTP. This was pre-Kinman too, he started using those around 1999 as far as I remember.
Hard to believe this was 16 years ago.
Regards,
Charlie

Hi Steve,
Yes, Hank had specifically asked for the Apache echo to be at that level.
You'd be surprised at how he can control the echo just from his playing. He also seems to get far more sustain than anyone else and I had to reduce the feedback a bit on some patches.
Regards,
Charlie

Hi Steve,
Yes, Hank used the Q2 until around the end of 1999, then changed to using the Q20 with EFTP.
Hank got that sound at the end of Apache every time I heard it live, at least when he was using EFTP (I had never seen him live before that). Probably a lot to do with the amount of echo.
Regards,
Charlie

I may be wrong, but I think Hank in 97 was still using a DeMarzio FS-1 pickup in the bridge and 2 Seymour Duncan Pro 2 in the middle and neck positions. He had only recently then dumped the Roland RE-301's for the Quads. To my ears the FS-1 and RE-301 echo combined was an awesome sound.
Never understood why he changed that combination, if it aint broke don't fix it is my philosophy.
I am aware of the explanations Hank gave about changing but will leave that bit out for this post.

You're right, Peter. He was using the Signature Strat with the pickup combination you describe (although I think the Seymour Duncans were Vintage SSL1), later changed to Kinmans as Charlie says.
Great sound!
Cheers.

Hi Tone
Your right he later used the SSL1 in the middle and neck positions mainly because he felt the Alnico Pro 2's were a tad to warm [although I liked them for that charactor] where as the signature model on sale to the public remained with the Seymour Duncan Alnico Pro 2 in middle and neck and as you say he later moved on to Kinmans which in my view moved him away from that unique sound he had of the 80/90's.
I have always liked the FS-1 in the bridge and many of his iconic albums of the 80's to the mid 90's were mostly the FS-1 sound through a Roland RE-301 and Messa Boogy amp. It was a great 'formula' in my view, but that's just my opinion. Plus I don't think the Matchless did him many favours.

Hi In The Frightened City Hank Marvin plays 4 chords almost at the end.Does anyone know what chords he plays. regards arnejo Ive always thought it to be Am G F E Am Note - There is a Backing Track with this closing chord arrangement on it. "Deja Vu" CD by Bungleflint, available from Leos Den - www.leosden.co.uk/Its an OK BT although I did have to do some EQ'ing with it as the recording technique was not of the best. HTH Ian |

Re the FS1 and SSL1 pickups before the Kinmans . I saw Hank live around 1993 I think it was at Wolverhampton Civic and he had the Matchless amps x 2 tilted back on stands then. His sound was fantastic like the record almost. Very loud as well I recall. The matchless amps had tgheir lights on and looked great. This was after the release of Heartbeat.
