First get yourself the tone you want if you wanna go greenday get a marshall jcm 800 and a rosewood strat with seymour duncan jb's or a les paul junior with p-90's wich is billie joes preference now or if you wanna go sex pistol get a marshall and a gibson les paul custom or just go your own way maybe use a mesa boogie instead of a marshall like blink 182 and a strat with a seymour duncan invader pickup. Anyway try putting your bass at 10 treble at 10 and middle at 0.
