Rig Rundown – The Afghan Whigs
Article & photos: http://bit.ly/AfghanWhigsRR
From their gritty garage roots in 1986, to multiple major deals, world tours, breaks-ups and reunions, The Afghan Whigs—including longtime bassist John Curley (above right)—hung with Premier Guitar prior to their jet-fueled gig in Nashville.
Curley’s main live bass is a 1979 Rickenbacker 4001. He has played Ricks off and on since the Whigs began touring in the late 1980s. The bright, aggressive tone cuts through the heavy guitars while still providing plenty of tight low end. Curley’s backup on tour is a 1978 Fender Jazz, which is his first choice in the studio.
Dulli, a loyal Gibson man, rotates between two Gibsons—this 2005 Gibson ES-335.

Whig Rundown.
Hometown boys! I have recorded at the bass players now defunct studio countless times! John Curly super nice guy
that yamaha is one of the coolest looking guitars
Love me some Twilight
Doesn’t like locking tuners? Lol ok
… so teeth matters?
Dude really>
That 'intro' sucked balls
Tonne of gear yet Nop time and DFude Fro, Tennbasee needs to ask teeth OFF thge HOP!
Qowza
everything is stock… I switched out the pickups, tuners and wiring…lol cool looking lp
It's cool when it's the actual musicians themselves who show their rigs.
I got all the best gear…. vintage..custom…rare.. awesome stuff…but of course you can't take that all to the gig so l got an ALDI guitar ( six string electric) and just plug direct into a solid-state Taiwanese karioke station. NOW I sound just like everyone else including EVH , Eric and Pagey….
.. those guys will never tell you that.
Never cited as virtuosic but the Whigs have such sonically mastered guitar parts. It was funny watching them try to express enthusiasm going over Dulli’s pedalboard….some tasks are too much to ask….
really love those double cut Yamahas guitars. especially the black vintage super rare to find
of course love Les paul and Rickenbaker bass
Dude, love Twilight Singers, love Powder Burns!!
Viva La Rosser!
Love this band!
22:33 – can someone explain this device to me? You press the button and it changes the tuning to D…and it's actually in tune?
"yeah it's pretty much stock, except for everything"
wow this is thought about way to much, not me Afghan WHigs
my favorite rig rundown. love the whigs!
Stoked that John actually demoed some of his pedals instead of just talking about them.
I gave Dave Rosser a pedal that I have built when they was in Stockholm a couple of years ago. He used it in studio mostly. A real nice person, we sort of became friends right away. Too sad he passed away so early. Fun to see Afghan Whigs in the Rig Rundown! Thanks
Great Review, I really appreciate Premier Guitar!!!!!!
"We don't have a ton of time and you guys have a ton of gear…" results in awesome one hour rundown with some awesome gear and cool down to earth artists! Rock on!
Perry is really good at interrupting!
That little riff from 9:50 to 9:59, what song is that from?
This was awesome. Didn't know this group before and the interviewer did an awesome job. Knows his stuff and asked great questions.
Very good host n guest, thanks for doing it
