It's a Fender '62 Brown Vibrolux. Yes - it sounds similar to Neil's Fender Deluxe because it has 6L6 tubes (which Neil modded his Deluxe to use). However, it's the bridge pickup that really gives the Neil "tone".
Cool. Thanks. I've been wanting to get a 6L6 powered amp for this very reason. Were you just driving the amp naturally into overdrive, or did you have pedals up front?
You folks are all too kind! Broken Arrow is no longer an active band but we live on in spirit (and these videos). We're from Redlands, CA and we'll never be as good as Neil (but we try). Thanks again!
We didn't actually split up - we got a new bass player, but we stopped doing all Neil Young. I was never successful in marketing the band, and some of the other members wanted to branch out, although I'd be content with just doing Neil. I may resurrect the band someday.
Thanks! "When You Dance" is actually a little shakey (we hadn't played in a while when it was filmed). Broken Arrow is actually not a performing band right now but I'd like to keep the project alive.
An exceptional cover... when you can close your eyes and be taken away just as you are with the original, you know it's good.

What was amplifier set up for the Les Paul? Pretty close to Neil's tone. Sounds great.

Also, what's the bridge pickup?
hammy022 4 years ago
I was driving the amp using a Hot Plate. I do use a Seymour Duncan Boost pedal for leads.
The bridge pickup is a Seymour Duncan firebird copy.

If you guys would get some better clothes and lose some weight, you might have something. You do a credible job with this. Thumbs up.

A little "shakey" ... hehe... anyway, I really enjoyed that! Really well played, and great work on duplicating Neil's guitar tone... it's spot-on.

Thanks! I modified my LP to be like Neil's, plus I use an amp that can give a similar sound to his.
