Kaycee “Ninevolt” Tarricone (Convul, guitar)

SPB: What kind of guitar do you use? How did you choose this model?

Tarricone: I've recently been using a Fender Jazzmaster with a P90 and a zebra humbucker. The neck pickup has a sloppy ground that gives off some strange sonic alchemy when you hold it right. It's really sunk into the body whereas the bridge (humbucker) is pretty hot. I really only picked it up because I wanted something non LP with P-90's, and a shorter neck so I can look like a giant holding it. Mixing the P90 with my fuzzes sends me home and cooks me dinner, and you can get some haunting dullness out of it when you roll back the tone knob.

سأكون رؤيتكم (I'll Be Seeing You)

The band seemed to resind their previous influences and gestures for a more thought out but certainly different … Read more
