In the verbal jungle of rock criticism, Dylan is seldom talked about in musical terms, instead, his work is analyzed instead as poetry, punditry, or mystification. Despite having long possessed exalted cultural status, and been subject to the attendant intensity of scrutiny and exegesis that comes along with it, Dylan himself declines the highbrow treatment — though you get the sense that he wouldn’t mind picking up a Nobel Prize. As it happened, he did get one!
Gretsch introduced the Anniversary in 1958 to celebrate the company’s 75th year in business, offering two models in two finish options each: the Anniversary, with one pickup, and the Double Anniversary, with two, available in either Sunburst or two-tone Smoke Green. Although it was presented as a celebration model, Gretsch intended the Anniversary to be accessible to a wide number of players.
Both instruments follow the D-Roc body template, with a sizable cutaway to allow extended access to the upper-range frets. To facilitate the Hellboy graphic on the body-facing, the standard raised central portion of the body, as seen on the Standard model, has been replaced with a smoother integration that doesn’t interfere with the graphic. Both basses have been built using khaya, an African mahogany, and five-piece maple necks with pau ferro fingerboards are attached using four-bolt joints.

Marketing and advertising studies show that we are better able to remember ads we are exposed to multiple times. When we see or hear something once, we are likely to forget it. But with repeated exposure it is more apt to stick in our brains. This also applies to melodies. Some people are afraid their melodies will be too repetitious—but an analysis of many of today’s top hits reveals that melodic repetition is the norm
The Ibanez Tube Screamer is one the most well-known and widely used overdrive pedals out there, so it’s no surprise to us that it’s also one of the most imitated. ‘Cloning’ pedals is fairly common practice in the industry, and usually not for any nefarious reason. Most pedal companies are aiming to replicate iconic tones from iconic players of yesteryear – and especially in the case of overdrive and distortion, most of them used a Tube Screamer.
