Pop Musicology - September 2006

Buy David Gedge's Stuff!

September 30th 2006 12:18

Legendary frontman with The Wedding Present and Cinerama David Gedge is E-Baying his old guitars and amplifiers! One of them was even recommended by notorious grumpy knob-fiddler Steve Albini (explaining the dirge-tastic sound of The Wedding Present's Seamonsters album). If you're feeling flightyand want that trademark clean, bright and pinging guitar twang that Gedge made so distinctive then get bidding - there's only five days left! PM is consdering a flutter on the H-H guitar amp. That's a piece of history. Part of me is loathed to post this, fearing it might increase the bidding war which will inevitably ensue. The Squier Guitar is already up to about £800 - surely the most money anyone will ever pay for a Fender knock-off.

Here's the E-Bay site for Gedge's equipment.

And for an after-dinner treat, why not look here at an interview I did with the great man himself? He's so lovely, y'know...

i know... i REALLY want the guitar amp he has for sale. could cost me though. the wedding present are such an important band that have never really caught on properly, so there's only a small (but obsessive) fanbase left despite the fact david gedge was all over the NME cover in the 80s. still makes music better than most people with his history.

as will be mine if i don't get that guitar amp.... what else is a student loan for if not impulse purchases of dubious quality memorabilia?
