From PLUR (2004). PLUR is a 2004 album by the Indonesian rock band Slank, released on 30 November 2004. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera II 60s Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Slank's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
