Rig Rundown – Screaming Females
Article & photos: http://bit.ly/ScreamingFemalesRR
Guitarist and frontwoman Marissa Paternoster and her longtime rumbling companion, “King” Mike Abbate (above left), took some time before their gig at Nashville’s The End to breeze through their minimalist (and gnarly) setups that are low are pristine and high on volume.
Guitarist and bandleader Marissa Paternoster has played G&L S-500s since she can remember. She got her first S-500 (above) as a gift from her father when she first started playing guitar. She’s not much for tinkering because she likes these models as they are, but had put in a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails in the bridge. However, she admits to not liking the sound of the pickup and generally plays in the middle position.
Bassist “King” Mike Abbate has had a longtime love affair with this Rickenbacker 4003. No mods have been done to the bass other than the popsicle stick that keeps the neck pickup in its place.

If not for the internet I would not know who this band is
One of the best guitarist I’ve ever seen live
What a sweet young woman ! Already impressed by her talent now impressed by how honest & unpretentious she is ????
I came here to try and find out what pickups Marissa uses in her strat and a short time later I decided it doesnt matter all my gear sounds fine as is!
She's like a lesser evil version of April Ludgate that is a prodigy at music.
9:21 is it possibly just the wood that smells of pish? I’ve got a pine guitar that faintly smells of pish, but I know for a fact that it’s never been pished on.
MP is cool.
The way that she just refuses to play up the usual marketing hype around gear is so fucking funny to me. Idk if she's just awkward or deliberately fucking with them, but the deadpan way that she just refuses to elaborate on so many things sends me.
She is a trip without even trying
Screaming females aka the Karens ????
I watched this video like 6 months ago and I can't stop thinking about how dude asks Marissa about adding a 2nd guitarist. What a bozo thing to ask one of the worlds greatest guitarist.
Adorable
6:40 great ad read
I would love to see Marissa do standup some day.
Marissa, who absolutely rules: "I am not a fan of reverb."
Me, who (ab)uses reverb as a way of hiding sloppy errors, imperfect palm-muting, and string noise: "Yeah, that makes sense."
The cat pee smell is the fiberglass insulation behind the speakers.
I only heard one of their tunes but it seemed like Melissa wasn't to much into "chord tone soloing", she liked to play "outside."

Great interview with those great musicians. i love Screaming females and listen to them quite regularly ????????????
And I’m here again ????
If u wanna recycle your strings and don't want to buy a new set for a gig? Boil them in a pot of water. I learned it from Geddy Lee. After 10mins of boiling they'll sound good as new.
Painful and painful.
Brilliant!
I may have just fallen in love a little.
My god, what a delightful rundown. Is Marissa an enchanting guest or what!!!!!
They did not mention the Strap posts being on the lower bout!!
