From Doll Revolution (2003). Doll Revolution is the fourth studio album by the American pop rock band the Bangles, released on September 9, 2003 on Koch Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Rickenbacker 330 through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for The Bangles' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
