Rig Rundown – Against Me!’s Laura Jane Grace and James Bowman
Article and photos: http://bit.ly/AgainstMeRR
Premier Guitar met up with Laura Jane Grace and James Bowman of Against Me! to talk about combining shimmering Rickenbackers and classic Les Pauls with some ferocious pedals and cranked amps.
Laura Jane Grace has always loved the sound and feel of the iconic Rick. She travels with two beloved and abused completely stock 360 Rickenbackers—one black and one white.
She also tours with a rare, black 3-pickup Rickenbacker 370 outfitted with a Mastery bridge mod.
When Laura wants to change it up, she goes to her Nash Esquire, with a Seymour Duncan Antiquity humbucker. All guitars are strung with Ernie Ball Cobalt 10-46.

Laura has been one of my heroes since I first heard Against Me! in my friend's 90's Honda Civic back in 2007.
Very cool to see the gear.
this might be stupid. But i saw this video 8 years ago, discovered this band – and it changed my life forever.
I have never been a huge Rickenbacker fan, but I like them in LJG's hands and music.
The smashed yellow one and the all black limited one I like the most.
Lol "Laura" yeah ok man, punk rock right, absolutley disgusting. Cope more
Incense sticks.. I know a few.. that’s where those marks come from… the smoke stains
Never understood relicing
What’s the point of having 5 guitars with the same pickups?
Why do you guys never feature the bass players' rigs?
Those marks on the headstock of Laura's Rick are probably from leaving a capo clamped there for a long period of time.
What’s the point of having a bunch of guitars with the exact same pickup?
the squad off marks are where someone kept a capo at on the headstock and the rubber reacted to the paint finish
And he keeps rubbing his nose!!
This is the best ever example of a coked up presenter, ever! He’s fucked! Chatting real quick, over-enthusiastic..hehe! Seems like the bands guys gave him a line or two to warm up… wicked.
????
Thanks Perry, I thought my YouTube speed was on 1.5… nope, Normal
"Probably got an antiquity in it". Lol
hey my brothers name is james bowman!
laura is a very kind and friendly person
That black tele…
About James' goldtop, the neck is (was at the time of the video) an antiquity. The bridge is still a burstbucker.
that's not a woman
One of the few videos I can find feauturing James Bowman, he seems laid back and dedicated to his work. I respect it
Gecko burst are so hard to find. Why would you refinish that?
Lol I play bass. I'm just here for Laura & James.
That voice doesn't belong to a Laura
That Tele (Esquire?) is so cool.
He says it's all stock expect for the Duncan pick up, then the guy goes so it's all stock other than that ????????????
11:50
What Telecaster is that Laura uses ???? Any leads plz ?
Very cool. This presenter is the worst. Very cool.
Funny, the goldtop looks like a Chibson cause the poti positions are messed up and asymetrical. At least that's what the wisecracks want to tell you, how to spot a chinese facsimile because original Gibsons are oh so perfect … except that they're not. Nowadays more than ever the quality of Gibson guitars plain sucks. We are at a point where you may get a Chibson Les Paul, change the tuners and pickups, do a solid fret makeover and what you get is equal in value to a "mondays" Gibson original, for a 10th of the price.
plz, make rig rundown with bad religion!
Bad ass as hell
Laura is a dude.
It’s so weird seeing Tom…err umm Laura…dressed as a woman
Tom.
"She looks hideous"
"Well she's a guy soooo"
