Notes:
Billie's
guitar is a Fernandes Stratocaster copy he calls "Blue". On Nimrod he
also used some Gibson's, some old Les Pauls, an ES-355, and ES-135 and a
Fender Jaguar. He also made a guitar he call's "Frankenstein" because it
is a combination of several different parts purchased at a Fender shop.
Has a Seymour Duncan humbucker added to Blue.
Billie
mainly plays through a modified Marshall amp. On Nimrod he used a Fender
Bassman, a Hiwatt, and a Leslie. The amp he uses on Dookie is most
commenly reffered to as the 'pete' amp and can be seen most noticably at
the Woodstock concert, it has 'pete' written across it.
When
asked about what brand his accoustic guitar is, Billie says: "I don't
know, one with strings and a whole in the middle!" Billie says a lot
of his sound comes from strumming. "I use my thumb. It's that
half-pick and half-thumb that gives it that thwack. Also, I don't play
with my wrist, I play with my shoulder and hit it really hard."

Notes:
From
Guitar World: "On this record [Nimrod], I used Precision
basses because my old Gibson G-3 didn't sound good with the new songs. I
used a '66 and '69; they have a real warmth on the low end. For this
record I knew we weren't going for the huge guitar sound; this gave me
more room to get in there. I needed to play a real punchy bass on the
old records because the guitar frequencies where everywhere and I needed
to get right in the middle. I recorded Dookie with a Percision bass too.
I use Mesa/Boogie amps, MB 2000's. They're half-tube and half-solid
state. I wanted to custom-make my own sound , and Mesa/Boogie was really
willing to work with me. They made me 6x10 cabinets, and we put those on
top of a 1x18. I think i'm nailing it. I have an MB 2000 running each
one of my 6x10 cabinets and then a MB 2000 running both of my 18's."
