From Losing Streak (1996). Losing Streak is the second studio album by ska punk band Less Than Jake, released on 12 November 1996 by Capitol. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Less Than Jake's other songs from Losing Streak, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
