Gears, guitar & Amps used by Joe Pass

In Gear on November 21, 2008 at 11:52 pm

Fender Jazzmaster      

Joe Pass

Joe Pass

Joe Pass used to play this guitar during his stay at theSynanon Center in California, where he tried to kick drugs. After 15 months in Synanon Joe Pass recorded Sounds of Synanon in 1961 together with Arnold Ross, another Synanon resident. During his stay Joe Pass didn’t have a guitar of his own, he used this Fender guitar that was owned by the Synanon Rehab Facility.

The Fender Jazzmaster was first introduced in 1958 and was originally marketed at jazz guitarists. The Jazzmaster wasn’t embraced by the jazz musicians however, but it became popular amongst surf rock guitarists.

Gibson ES175

This Gibson guitar, the Es175, was the main guitar of Joe Pass. He got one for his birthday from a guy named Mike Peak in 1963, who saw Joe Pass playing jazz on a solid body (the Fender Jazzmaster).

Other jazz guitarist who played the Gibson ES175: Jim Hall, Pat Metheny, Wes Montgomery (in the early days), Kenny Burrell


D’Aquisto Guitars
 In 1970 Joe Pass started using a D’Aquisto guitar. The guitar was built specifically for Joe.

Other jazz guitarist who play a D’Aquisto: Jim Hall.

Ibanez

From 1980-90 Joe Pass was under contract with Ibanez. It is said that Joe didn’t really like the Ibanez guitar and didn’t perform on it that much. Most accounts from people in the United States from this time period have Joe playing the D’Aquisto, but many reports from other countries say Joe played the Ibanez. The speculation is that Joe played the Ibanez rather than travel internationally with his D’Aquisto.

The Ibanez Joe Pass was discontinued pretty quickly and suffers a reputation for a thin tone due to it’s pickup placement.

Larry Carlton & Sapphire Blues Band – Sapphire Blue

In Live on November 2, 2008 at 1:18 am
Amazing, Amazing!    Lets spice things up a bit with guitarist extraordinaire Larry Carlton, aka “Mr 335″. Larry is one of the most in demand session guitarists in the business, his tasteful lines having graced hundrends of albums, Steely Dan’s, Joni Mitchell’s, Billy Joel’s and Quincy Jones’ among them. His amazing guitar solo on Steely Dan’s “Kid Charlemagne” from their 1976 LP “Royal Scam” is voted by Billboard as the third best solo in rock! In this set of vids Larry is caught live in Paris in 2004 with his outfit of late, hard blowing Sapphire Blues Band, a combination guaranteed to tear the house down . This one’s “Sapphire Blue” a slow, blues – based number, a style that Larry Carlton excels at.
