From Out of the Vein (2003). Out of the Vein is the third studio album by American rock band Third Eye Blind, released on 13 May 2003 by Elektra Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Third Eye Blind's other songs from Out of the Vein, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
