Nice

Great!
But Im very sceptical to the accuracy and whether it actually will be released this fall. It has been postponed forever. And with Stones new summer thing in the works, I can not understand why they won´t wait a bit and include that. (With the new gear stuff happening in London/New Jersey I would assume more new things will occur.)

Been waiting for this book forever. It has been pushed back so man y times.
But myself I am not worried too much about inaccuracies. Of course no one will get 50 years of picking up guitars by a bunch of other guys exactly right, but Andy Babiuk and Greg Prevost are huge Stonesfans, and about as good as anyone I can think of to do this book.

Dear Santa...........

That book has been announced for a long time.

Their Beatle gear guide is essential. If the Stones book is half as good it will be fantastic. Looking forward to it.

It's done when it's done!

Santa will be to late to be the first to bring this to my home. This will be a present from me, to me. In september!!!

The official release date for the Rolling Stones Gear book is Tuesday October 29th, 2013. It’s taken 9 years to finish this mammoth 700-page book and I thank The Rolling Stones as well as the hundreds of people who helped make this historic document possible. The book is now available for preorder on Amazon or at your favorite bookseller.

Overview

ROLLING STONES GEAR is the first book to historically document all of the Rolling Stones’ musical equipment. It’s also the story of The Rolling Stones, but with a new twist: their history as told through the instruments they used. The book covers not only the group’s personal background, but also every tour and studio session from their inception in 1962 to date, with detailed documentation illustrating what instruments and equipment were used during these periods. Every song recorded by the band, including demos and out-takes are also documented, with input from within the Stones’ ranks as well as from people who were involved with the band. The lavishly illustrated book contains hundreds of photographs and rare images, many of which have never been published, including The Rolling Stones’ actual guitars and equipment, which were specially photographed for this book and are seen for the first time. Whether you are a musician, a Stones fan or just the casual reader, you will learn many new facts about the band from their monumental fifty-year existence.

Can`t wait....

Can`t wait....

Well I can, because I have been, for what seems like forever...

But I'd rather not wait any longer, please.

It's funny because I am a total gearhead but the Stones are one band where I never really seem to be interested in their gear. Keith Richards loves his guitars for sure but I always had the impression that amps and effects were never a priority for him. I mean in the mid-seventies they signed a deal with Ampeg for their amplifiers which I always thought odd since Ampeg is primarily known for their bass amps.

Still, I will most probably get this book as I have the Beatles one and it is very cool.

That`s the same impression I have about KR. But I also find it interesting that he can play with such a raw and nice sound without lots of effects.He has made his own sound just with the use of the amps it seems. But maybe this book will reveal something new to me regarding his sound..

Someday soon I hope to get to see the movie "it might get loud" with Jack White, The Edge and Jimmy Page. Three guitar players with different views on the use of guitareffects. Of what I have seen so far from that movie it seems J.White uses very little effects, much the same as KR. And I like it Real rocknroll is dry sound right from the amp. But still, it sure sounds good with some effects now and then...

Is there going to be a limited number of copies?

It Might Get Loud is great!

I always appreciated the fact that Keith Richard's sound is in his fingers, not in the effects or guitars he uses. I know he loves Telecasters through a Fender Twin Reverb and I believe the signal goes through clean. I don't think many people study him as they would Clapton or Page mainly I think because Keef is all about the groove which is something you can't teach.

Well alright! Mingsubu, this is not a limited edition book such as one sees from Genesis publications. Looks affordable to me: Stones Gear

Yeah, the Stones is not a "gear group" in the sense that they played on very special equipment. Keith's Telecaster "Micawber" is a bit iconic, but they all played on a lot of "random" guitars and basses, and you don't need very specific gear to play their music. But from a historic and aesthetic viewpoint it makes for a lot of interesting reading, if you like vintage guitars and stuff.

Yes, I know it is available. My problem is that my internet sucks and has done for some weeks, so I have to wait to see it untill it is fixed.
Shantipole: I agree, KR is the riffmaster. Guitarplayers as The Edge is not, but he makes good music with help from effects. I personally like the sound from just the guitar and the amp, and I worship KR`s sound. I also like to hear the difference in the sound from the different guitars. Too many effects ruins that possibility I think. I hope this book will tell which guitars and amps that was used in different recordings

Link please?
