Recording notes

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.
