Gordy01 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Thanks, The Music Man was built in the mid 70's by, you guessed it, Leo Fender. It is a bit of a hybrid with tubes and a transistor section. It's got 2 - 10 inch and has a 2 power setting. Either 65 watts or 130 watts. Tons of power. The 10's have a real nice snap. The tech at the music shop wants to buy it real bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svet Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 It's snowing outside and I'm using my Gibson ES 137/Fender Twin combo to keep me warm while I listen along to some tunes. The woman is at work and I get to be as loud as I wish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Obscure Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 If I'm going to play a jam with people on drums, bass, etc., for the sake of volume I will pack the Reverend Kingsnake and maybe one of the G400s. I might bring my pedal board too, if there's room. At home, I practice with a Pod XT Live, G-DEC 30 or B-DEC. I'll bring one of these to a small jam.

I think it had 2 - 12s but I don't remember for sure. The thing I really liked about it was that it had chrome rails on the side of the amp. I used my amp as a monitor more or less. I would tilt it back on the rails so I could hear better when I was playing. That was before amp stands. It was a nice amp, another one I wished I hadn't sold.

I have a Twin and a Vibroverb and they are both outfitted with said legs. It is a feature that I almost never take advantage of, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-Type Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Here's the Family shot' date=' minus the Vox AD50VT which is at the gig. The Tele is too new for this picture...I guess I need to take some more family shots. The Flametop gets the most action, followed by the Goldtop, then the Strat. The '79 Strat (I bought it new) will be 30 next year! I guess it's time to plan a birthday celebration...

His is all stock except fot the Duncan lil' 59 he put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcwillow777 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Dave - I have to second what Svet said. I had a friend that had a 70's natural Strat with maple freatboard and white pick guard. I love a natural Strat. The neck profile on it was to die for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kong Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Hello All, I really enjoyed looking at all of your amazing collections!! Really great stuff. Here are my very modest submissions. I'm new to the forum and just got my first Epi. A Les Paul Custom in Silverburst. I also play a Fender Showmaster. Also just picked up the Line 6 Spiderjam. The amp is too cool with about 70 recorded jams inside that you can play and record with. I pretty much just play at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 nice silverburst.. starting to like those more everytime I see one. tWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generation zero Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Those showmasters are almost awesome enough to turn me into a fender man, LOL! I love yours... My friend has a tele like that in a yellowish natural finish. Awesome guitars, perfect hybrids between a fender style guitar and a Les Paul. The squire stagemasters were pretty nice too, I almost bought one of those when they first came out. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been playing a cheap squire (strat shaped purple guitar with an upside down headstock and a floyd rose), but I gave that to my nephew earlier this year and I grabbed the showmaster for a little over $500. I love this thing, very light and the neck is like butter. They have very sweet tone. I never use the tremolo so I tightened the screws all the way down inside the guitar and I put 010's on it which really brought out the tone and improved the sustain ... The seymour duncans are nice too. The finish is indescribable - really a beautiful quilt and I love the tobacco burst color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kong Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 nice silverburst.. starting to like those more everytime I see one. That silverburst is an awesome lookin' guitar. I really wanted a custom. I love the diamond design in the head stock and the binding. You can't beat the price at 699 either!! I was bouncing back and forth between the silverburst or a Standard Plus Top in the Trans Blue. I used to be a raider fan so you can never go wrong with silver and black. They really are nice looking. I was reading the reviews on MF and GC and everyone was raving about the finsh. I was not disappointed when it arrived. There were some slight issues though; it must have been in a slightly salty shipping container because there were some oxidation marks on the stop bar tailpiece and the strings were really ratty and oxidized. The screw-head on the top of the pick guard also had some rust on it. I used a little mother's metal polish on the tailpiece and put new Ernie Ball 010s on it. I'll need to pick up a replacement screw for the pick guard. All in all I am extremely pleased with the guitar. The value is second to none. I may throw some gibson pickups in it as some point in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWANG Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 If it's the neck screw, pm me your address and I'll pop one in the mail to ya. I got a box full in chrome. free for the new year and congrats on the guitar! TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWANG Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 you'll have to match it at the hardware store.. ACE has a good bunch even fancy looking chrome heads on 'em sometimes.. check their first. you can also swap the screw and it's nut to a slightly different size there with no problem.. so take a good look. talking fifty cents or so TWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
