Rig Rundown – Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit [2019]
Bursts, and Benders, and Js, oh my! A pioneer of the new Nashville sound and his tone-heavy tag team spend 90 minutes to cover the gobs of new gear that have joined their ranks since 2015.

Back in the fall of 2015 PG traveled south to the Tivoli Theatre in Chattanooga, Tennessee, to catch up with Jason Isbell, guitarist Sadler Vaden, and bassist Jimbo Hart. At the time, the band gave us so much time and so much gusto about their piles of gear, the resulting Rundown became the longest ever at 65 minutes.
Fast forward four years and now Premier Guitar’s Perry Bean finds himself onstage, surrounded by even more gear, at the historic Ryman Auditorium in the middle of Isbell’s annual October run. This year saw the Alabama native and his bandmates sell out seven consecutive shows at the Mother Church. And before the 4th night, we basically filmed a feature film spotlighting all the new inspiring additions to their arsenal and how it all further propels the 400 Unit’s sonic quest.

Jimbo is alright with me… Come back soon….❤
What strings do you use on the acoustics?
I remember this Isbelle. Before he was a giant insufferable twat.
Sadler F'ing VADEN!!!!!!
Can't believe I only just stumbled across this rig rundown. I love what a gearhead Jason is. And much as I have always loved his songwriting, singing, and playing, I think his response to the question of whether he tries to take it easy on the Red Eye just makes me love him even more. Guitars are meant to be played and enjoyed, not babied.
just saw these guys last week in edmonton, all 3 are killer killer players….but my god Jimbo!!! never heard a bass player make those kind of noises before!! so fucking good!
One of the very best!
New drinking game: take a drink every time Sadler says "Yeah". Don't do shots, you'll die…????????????
That's only the ones he takes on the road…… Wonder what he has stashed away.
I'm gonna have the chance to meet Jason at the ryman in a few days . I hope he brings the red eye.
I told my wife at his concert in Köln that he is the prime example of a person that uses each guitar to get it's specific tone. If he pulls out a tele after playing his strat you are going to hear a tele vs strat sound. He doesn't change anything to make them sound alike. And that Red Eye sounds awesome.
host talks over artist continually
Celluloid
Dont yall have any clothes that fit?
Time for a new one!
A custom Gibson Red Eye copy are still pricey, not because of high labor, but because of lack of tech and analytic skills amongst Gibson management. They are content to make money by marketing strategies rather than using innovative breakthrough technology to create vintage sounding gear at decent prices. The marketing strategies they use in place of technology and analytics is to create endless price tiers that vary quality and confuse buyers. And using cosmetics that effect looks but not sound impact quality for price conscious customers who don't understand Gibson's game adds unnecessary puzzles to the buying equation. But Gibson isn't listening, and neither am I next time some American president raids their factory or even closes it down.
No wonder the audience had to stand — he patronizes Carter's, the Ferrari dealership of vintage guitars and music gear. (more money may be in that guitar case than most anyone in the audience's houses.)
Audience stand up gigs used to be for looser bands. Promoters can't accommodate either a sound controled dance floor for small venues or theater seating for larger venues. Maybe its always been like that because of bedbugs or because of price margins. My granny said she thinks she remembers everybody standing at a giant cream concert in the sixties and the filmore and most concerts crowds would sit India style on bare floors.
This was an awesome education
Nitrate celluloid was used for the pickguards back then.
Where can I find the road cases for handling several guitars for the road and who makes them and where can you buy them?
Does anyone know what happened to his D-18s? Seems like they've been scrubbed from the internet… I feel like I'm taking crazy pills out here
