From The Mollusk (1997). The Mollusk is the sixth studio album by American rock band Ween, released by Elektra Records on June 24, 1997. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Ween's other songs from The Mollusk, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the middle pickup. Standard tuning.
