I remember that! The Bombs were the house band for a comedy show Jim Brewer hosted called "Premium Blend". Wish I could get a copy of those shows.
Been listening more closely to newer Bombs discs and it does sound like a pretty hot cermic mag lead tone. I guess I was in denial.

A Clash song, I think.

Yeah, no question...my fav band of all time. So many great discs.
Me thinks a Duncan Custom...I installed an SH-5 in my LP Custom last night to test the waters. Blasted it through my JCM800 and nailed the tone right off the bat.
I was always sure about the Gibson through a Marshall thing (I've seen various JCM800's, SIlver Jubilees, etc. Lots of Les Pauls and an Explorer on occasion.)...but the pickups had me perplexed. I'd put money on them being SH-5's. It's actually fairly obvious it was a pretty hot pickup with a ceramic mag. But as a mostly vintage-type guy, I was in denial.
Pierre and Jeremy know what I'm talking about. But others should check them out. Not my favorite of their work, but here's the latest...

im down with the Bombs!!i knew Duane Peters is an old school punk/skater. id read about him in Thrasher and underground skate mags back in the day.When i got turned onto them a few years back i was plesantly surprised he was in the band and when i went to see them, OMFG!!hes a madman!!good show, if your into the whole snotty punk stuff.yes i too love the guitar tone/playing on the early stuff.i would agree on the ceramic mag pup,ive got them on a video from when they were touring for the first album, hes playing JCM 800 and LP custom.i know that his pups are not stock, atleast in that LP.there are some good close up shots and i think they might even say SD on them.

They don't call Duane the "Master of Disaster" for nuthin'! First man on earth to skate the full loop.
I've mostly seen them with LP Customs and JCM800's as well. Duncan should sponsor Kerry Martinez...
Yup, Bombs are the real deal.
The Dug...this video you speak of...perhaps you can make it available to forum brothers? :fingersx:
