From Cosmic Slop (1973). Cosmic Slop is the fifth studio album by the American funk rock band Funkadelic, released on July 9, 1973 on Westbound Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Funkadelic's other songs from Cosmic Slop, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
