Recording notes

From A Night to Remember (2023). A bright, jangly guitar-pop song with a fuzzy edge. Equipboard's community-built list shows beabadoobee with Fender Jazzmasters and Mustangs, and her guitarist Jacob Bugden with a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV in a 2022 KEXP performance. The rig on this recording isn't documented, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV stands in. Set a light-to-medium crunch on the bridge pickup and dig in harder for the louder sections. Tuning isn't documented here.
