From Road to Rouen (2005). Road to Rouen is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Supergrass. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Telecaster Plus through a Fender '59 Bassman LTD Reissue, the rig we use for Supergrass' other songs from Road to Rouen, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
