From Blood Lust (2011). Blood Lust is the second studio album by British band Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Fender '59 Bassman LTD Reissue, the rig we use for Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats' other songs from Blood Lust, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup.
