Richie Kotzen and Billy Sheehan took a breather after soundcheck at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville to speak with Premier Guitar’s John Bohlinger about their signature rigs.
Even during the era of pointed headstocks, Richie played a Tele and just recently his signature model became available in the U.S. It features a contoured ash body, maple top and neck, and sports a pair of DiMarzio pickups-the Twang King in the neck and Chopper T in the bridge. Kotzen also expanded the traditional 3-way Tele wiring to include a rotary series/parallel knob. Plus, the small switch between the two knobs activates a tuner that lives around his volume knob. Finally, there’s a Hipshot GT2 Electric Xtender that allows Kotzen to quickly move to drop D. He strings up his Tele with D’Addario .011-.049 strings.
Sheehan tours with the prototype of the third version of his signature Yamaha Attitude bass. He also has an identical production model as a backup. (Sheehan claims that the production model is “tighter” than the prototype.)

John is slowly morphing into Ace Ventura
Billy kept staring at it at the start of his interview, lol
+Anthony Knese .... nice guy but more like "dorking" into Ace Ventura
And there it is
Fly by night rush
Fly by night rush
I guess being a Pet Detective doesn't pay the bills like it use to so now Ace is interviewing musicians.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS (took me a while!)
i noticed the sam thing~!!
JoshDownUnder if you have hair enjoy it. Mine.....tis Gone.....life....cruel mistress.
lmao !!!!
LMFAOOOOOOO
How Ritchie kept a straight face I will never know
What you can't see is Portnoy holding signs up behind John saying ' don't look directly at the hair!!!'
i thought it was a stage fan; then i thought he just got up and then i realised, no it's for real.
i also wonder hahahahahahahhaha
Never mind the hair what about Ritchie's mad max
skirt leggings combo
Caloss2 Channel Is that Jonald Trump!?? Hahaha!!!!🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣 John that hair is Wicked!!!🤘😎
He has the "There's Something About Mary" doooo going here!
+Retro Joe Ace Ventura baby!
+BarbecueFitness totally a ventura doo
+Nosy Peeking LMAO!!!
He knows his hair is surfin' on his forehead, right?
+Retro Joe I think, it's more of an Ace Ventura Pet Detective vibe going on.
Richie is making a professional attempt at not looking at John's hair.
Dat. Hair.
"Hey this is ace ventura for premier guitar"
Ace Ventura investigating Winery Dogs; makes sense.
What spectacularly regular folks. Thank God for good people, good musicians and the Winery Dogs.
as soon as I saw Johnbo I scrolled down knowing their would be hundreds of ballbusting comments..you guys didn't disappoint.
Billy Sheehan is a legend, and a lovely guy. I got to drink wine with him backstage after a show in Adelaide, South Australia ... So interesting talking with him, and what a player!!!! Total class act! :)
I'm impressed on how minimalistic R.Kotzen's rig is,you see other guitarists with huge pedalboards,pre-amps,stacks etc. This guy has just that tiny,compact pedalboard,a wah, these 2 tube amps and a modded Tele,that's it.Prove you don't need crapload of stuff,to get a great tone.
+greekfreak1980 Even listening to Richie EXPLAIN his "small" pedalboards was complicated. KEEP IT SIMPLE, fellow musicians, and you'll be so happy you did.
+Secular Voices Just compare Kotzen's pedalboard with other famous musicians rigs,hell just take a look at how much stuff Billy Sheehan has on stage.
It depends really on what music you're doing as well though, like if you do like music that has like weird synthy sounds and octave and stuff you would want all that crap but some people like josh klinghoffer from rhcp's pedal board is just stupid
+greekfreak1980 Theres a lot in what your saying, But on the other side of music is the miles of note and free ride expression to the Nth degree. And then there are players who just don't buy into it early. I said this before he explained his origin set up. I was thinking that once you have a sound that holds water as my dad would say. You get in your show and go

Billy Sheehan is an absolute legend.
Billy is unbelievable
Who else went to comments to read about the hair? Haha
Lucky Singh 4 whole seconds.
When did Ace Ventura start working at Premiere Guitar?
@@jmac1013 His hair is right out of "Something About Mary" : )
Ace Ventura
Like instantly!! Lol
I came for the gear but I stayed for the hair.
HAHAHAHA... Kotzen keeps looking at his head like "are you putting me on?"
Richie has that Jesus/Chris Cornell vibe happening.
+Darragh Tate Ah, that old chestnut. ;)
+Darragh Tate odds are that they're all related, its uncanny!
i know it's a bit late but Rest In Peace chris!
Christ Cornell
Ace Ventura Pose...
Something About Mary?!?!
Right on for being such a good sport. For me, this is a favorite rig rundown. Love that Tele!!!
Richie
"It's a standard telecaster pickup"
Other guy
"Ahh. Thats very cool" !!!!!
petewoodroffemusic BAHAHAHA so true! He says that a lot
Came here for the gear, stayed because of the comments... Now have to watch the video again and pay attention to the gear, well I'll try!
"I shake you hand again!!!!" RICHIE THE BEST GUY AROUND!!!! Being humble is not a skill! It's a way of life! BE BLESSED MAN!
Richie's such a cool guy. It is pretty cool how with his signature stuff he thought of everything like the phantom power knowing all else that he needs is a wah. And i like that they both ran through their own rigs not just a tech.
I'm stating the obvious here, but Sheehan = insane bass chops! Never ceases to amaze.
It's nice to see a major player with a KISS approach to his gear setup. Just what you need, nothing more, good results without all the hassle.
Love the simplicity of Kotzen's rig. Obviously the main parts of the rig are REALLY high quality, but I love the simplicity...
John has one of those built in handsfree hair mics. Fair play to Ritchie for keeping a straight face 👀 What a cool simplified rig a credit to Ritchie's technique and skills
Richie is a truly amazing guitarist.
I really like his set up ,seems like he is really cool
Really love the down to earth interview of Ritchie.
Richie seems like real chill dude. Winery Dogs are unbelievably awesome. Check them out.
Have a lot of respect for musicians who actually use the gear they endorse. Great work Ritchie and Billy
John is a great guy but what would make a grown man get up in the morning and decide to create this look?
Winery Dogs rule tho!
Dudes hair is JACKED up!!!!!!
Was gonna comment on the hair but you all have it covered 😄 great job everybody!
I can hear a band and even if I don't know the band if Billy is playing with them I know it!! He has that thing that no one else has!!
i so much like the way he uses just one damn great guitar !!! so much respect for this man !!!!
There's something about Mary comes to mind haha. Great to see WD's though, love these guys.
I can't watch the video because I'm reading all the crap about John's hair. But even watching the vid I can't hear what they are saying because I'm so transfixed on John's hair... Sux...
+Buddy Martin there is something abut mary... err.. john
+patricio morales 🤔 😹🗯 Ha-ha, too funny!
incredible rundown!
these guys have a phenomenal sound. thanks for this one guys
Horray for a nerdy bass rundown!
Ritchie seems like a really cool dude!
Great interview and both guys showed and played their rigs nice !
love these dudes.. great rig rundown..
Great interview! Nice feeling between two nice guys.
One of the best interviews of Premier Guitar... Very nice and knowledgeable
Something About Mary...
I case anyone who hasn’t seen the film he is saying John has jizz in his hair.
@@MisterTee thank you. I can continue to watch in peace
... only master Richie Kotzen could tour the world with just two Telecasters as his main axes ... :)
great Interview from Ace Ventura:-)
As a drummer I'm really loving this interview series. I like how they dive into gear rundown as well as the artist. I really dig players that know their gear besides just being a player.
more bass rundowns!!! awesome!
awesome to see Ace Ventura and Liutenant Dan of Forrest Gump in one interview!!
always a joy to see billy play T.T
I found this to be a very good and watchable interview, both guys knew what they were talking about and were very easy to listen too, plus the interviewer was chill and had crazy hair.
I watched 4 of this Rig Tour with Richie. I like him, he is a down to earth guy. And i like his Simple Rig's. I know just a few more they play like him (without a Spaceship of Pedals)
me included!
I have an Engl Artist and a Delay. It's all you need. Like he said, all you need is an Amp that sounds good to you 🤘🏼😎
Ritchie is my kind of guitarist. one of a kind
Particularly enjoying John's quiff, it's like a wave of almost awesome :)
Nice rig billy you are an ambassador for the low end bringing all the bass world together \m/
His hair is outstanding
Awesome Interview .
Glad there was Time to do a Proper interview .
at 17;25, I really like when he mentions his roots with Talas, never forgetting what started him off to stardom.
How does Richie keep from not busting out about the hair thing. LOL
Probably Mike Portnoy (Dogs drummer) is behind Bohlinger holding a sign saying "Don't look right at the hair!!!"
Billy Sheehan's got the ultimate bass tone!
very nice great
24:00 - was expecting a spinal tap moment, kinda got one!
Holy shittt the hair so wavy amazing
Bumblebee Tuna, John!
They're from another planet 😎
What in the hell is UP with John's hair?
Josiah Luck He's got that Jim Carey Ace Ventura vibe about him
Funny haircut, simple rig... love this vid
OMG this combination of Stifler and Ace Ventura freaks out musicians, Richie almost run away
Sheehan is such a nice guy
Fernando Westphalen . I concur. ......
wonder what lies beneath??
...
maybe nothing sinister.
...but he is a scientologie member...he is a devil in disguise
I can't keep myself focused on the interview. That's because of the Ace Ventura. I can't stop laughing or keep my eyes off of that hair. Hahahahahaha.
It would be nice to hear/demo more of the stuff you guys talk about i the interviews.
That was a great rundown.
Billy is a really a bass expert, i even wonder if he does really need a bas tech cause he knows every single thing about his rig!
anahowana he doesn't have the time with all the pr and everything else
Billy...."don't look at his hair....don't look at his hair" hahahaha
Something About Mary - The Movie must be an inspiration for the interviewer.
Billy's bass licks are awesome on this by the way.
:)
Sheehan's bass playing is awesome in general
Would love an updated run down
Digging the Ace Ventura hairdo John.
holee cow john. that's a new look.
The truth is Steve Hackett was doing tapping with Genesis back in 1971, in one of their songs, in unison, with the keyboard player Tony Banks. Crazy stuff.
Helluva band!
True super group!
that guy have the "There's something about Mary" incident
With Yamaha for 30 years. Longer than half of the people on earth have been alive.
This is a bog standard telecaster except for this and this and this and this and this and this.
hahaha
Theeeere's something on the wing. Soooooommme thing.
Between Richie's skort and John's hair, I don't know what to say....
Finally!!!
His voices sounds like jack sparrow of music 🤩🤩 ! this guy is just awesome !
Cornford ceased production in 2013. Richie is playing Marshall and Fender amps now.

You're coming to Poland on 20th Fer 2016 ;-) Cool!
This guy should be as famous as John Mayer.
This is 2nd interview I have to give Richie credit. I'd have asked wtf he thinks he's doing with the hair. I need Richie's shirt. Hot, talented, on fire man.......
Billy can make a bass do anything!!
yes love WD
Who else found these guys via their cover of "Fooled Around And Fell In Love"?
I see that hair and the fact that John was probably nervous about meeting Richie... and I think: "There's Something About Mary".
