It’s a long career. A lot of the early albums had ‘ modern’ remixes on the back of the success of Eliminator and they tend to be what’s used for the reissues and are just awful. The early albums with the original mixes tend to be what people see as his hallmark tones. Brown Sugar is believed to be Pearly Gates through a Fender Deluxe and one of the definitive vintage Les Paul tones but sounds like shit on the remix.
And some of it was buzzy but he did buzzy very well. ZZ Top were quite radical in some ways for a little ol boogie band from Texas.

Make sure you avoid the 6 pack, which tried to make the good sounding albums sound like the shit sounding albums. Probably the biggest remastering disaster in modern music.
Wis award for this statement alone.
It simply CANNOT be repeated enough.

Lovely fuzzy mess that it is!!!!!
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

Never understood that term, seems to be used a lot referring to Jazz basses.
None of the pickups seem to be located in the back or front to me lol
It's the bridge pickup, confusing terminology because the higher frets are sometimes referred to as the top frets.
the best thing about his playing is all the killer little double stops and chord stuff he uses in his leads, he is my favourite bluesy player
