From Dusk (1993). Dusk is the fourth studio album by English rock band the The. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a driven post-punk pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
