I created this page to let people know what equipment I use to play my music. If you have any specific questions about my equipment you can e-mail me at Brucekool@aol.com
Of course you all know I use ESP Guitars. I have many Standard as well as Custom Models, including the Bruce Kulick Model:
- Black
- 24 ¾" scale length
- Rosewood fingerboard with creme
- Binding & 22 extra jumbo frets
- Parallelogram inlays
- Seymour Duncan JB & '59 pickups
I am currently using either an ESP vintage strat with a Duncan JB humbucker in the treble position, or a Les Paul Classic Sunburst guitar also with Duncan pickups. I also use several Gibson Guitars, mainly Vintage and Custom shop Guitars.
My gear is very basic. I use Marshall 900 heads or the new 2000 head. 4 X 12 Marshall cabinet, with Vintage 30's speakers.
My pedal board is very important. It has a chorus pedal, analog delay,
digital delay, phaser, wah wah, and a BOSS SD 1 for overdrive dist.
- VOX Wah Wah
- MXR Distortion Plus
- Various Vintage Phasors and Flangers and Distortions
- Sans Amp Pedals
Most of your sound really does come from your hands, but I am blessed with great gear for sure. My strings are SIT and I use either 10's or 9's or a combination, depending on the guitar.
I used many guitars from my collection, various Les Pauls, various ESP guitars that I have had for years, three different Marshall amps, 2000, and two different 900 series heads, for bass I use an ESP J-4 or Rickenbacker 4001, or a Gibson EB-3 bass. I played it direct through a San Amp rack amp, and a tube DI box. Not through an amp.
Of course many pedals were used and the most creative one was a strange multi effects pedal on "Change is Coming", so I got some crazy outer space sounds.
I just wanted to let all the gear heads out there to know that, in addition to several of my Signature Series ESP Model Guitars, I am using the following equipment on the UNION '98 Tour:
BC Rich Eagle - See thru purple
Vintage Plus ESP Strat - See thru red
900 Series Marshall 4100 Head thru 2 Vintage 30 Cabinets
Professional Pedal Board: phaser, distortion, chorus, delay, & wah-wah
The band and I also want to extend a BIG "Thank You!" to the following people and companies for helping UNION out in the guitar department: ESP, Marshall, SIT, Jim Dunlop, Tacoma Guitars, and Schecter Guitars.
