Studio recording, 2013. Alex Turner used his Fender Bronco through a Rickenbacker M8 Pedal Steel amp for 'No. 1 Party Anthem' solo. Some sources mention Selmer Truvoice and Magnatone Custom 410 as main amps for the album, but the Rickenbacker M8 is specifically cited for this track. No evidence of live-specific gear for this solo.
