From I Wish I Could Stay Here (2011). I Wish I Could Stay Here is the debut studio album by English rock band Basement. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through an Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII, the rig we use for Basement's other songs from I Wish I Could Stay Here, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
