From Call the Doctor (1996). Call the Doctor is the second studio album by the American rock band Sleater-Kinney, released on March 25, 1996 by Chainsaw Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Danelectro '59M NOS+ through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Sleater-Kinney's other songs from Call the Doctor, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
