From Azul (1998). Azul is the fourth album by the Argentine rock band Los Piojos, released in 1998 by DBN. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Standard Stratocaster through a Fender Bassman 100 (Silverface, Vintage), the rig we use for Los Piojos' other songs from Azul, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup.
