From Tales from the Punchbowl (1995). Tales from the Punchbowl is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Primus, released on June 6, 1995. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage II 1973 Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Primus' other songs from Tales from the Punchbowl, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the middle and bridge pickups together. Standard tuning.
