From the Bass side of the street. My Fender Super Bassman 300 head / Bassman 410 Neo cab.

Nice! I was donking around with one of them in GC not long ago. Thunder! Well, as much as Skin Tight can be thunderous.

 

The bound and blocked jazz is Sex Ay.

Here's an old Bell & Howell projector amp chassis that my partner gutted and built into a hopped up Tweed deluxe type amp. I'm supposed to make a cabinet for it that looks kind of like a projector, with a fake lens off to one side.

Is your partners name Mike? I recently bought a bunch of transistors from a guy that built a really sweet Tweed Champ in a gutted Bell & Howell cab

Awesome collection [thumbup]

 

Does anybody know where can you find Gibson amps in the UK? I have never even seen one in a store (even when they were still making 'em!) and don't think I've seen many listed on ebay either over here. Would love to try one.

I may mis-remember, but I believe Trace Elliott was making the Gibson amps. That might have something to do with them not being over there. Maybe. Not sure.

Thanks rct. I think I heard something about Trace making them too, which I never knew. It's odd, because back in the 90's when I was a young teenager I picked up a brochure for the GoldTone amps here in England, even had it on my bedroom wall for a few years because I thought they looked really great, but never saw one. Back then I didn't even enquire as I knew I couldn't afford one being a kid and all, but seems odd they advertised them here yet never stocked them to my knowledge.

Thanks, if you like Smoke, and Lightning, it's Heavy Metal Thunder, that's for sure. I'm adding a Hofner Ignition BBHI to the mix. I've used several amps over the years, but this set for me, is Right On!

they're not all that commonly found it seems. the only made them for a few years, when gibby bought out Trace Elliot, this was the next gen of the Vellocette (sp?) series

 

 

I have the big brother to one of Rev's small one speaker combo, mine is a 2x12 30watter, which you don't want to have to move!! (it's 90+ lbs)

 

Really simplistic, Volume (Pull Gain) tone, and reverb.. sounds great though.
