Dub-T-123 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Fender Stratocaster through a low wattage Fender tube amp with spring reverb. I would probably opt for the biggest amp possible because for those genres you need to be loud and clean and low wattage tube amps break up at low volumes.

tartanbeastie Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 I never heard a headstock change that much tone or affect playability. <grin> Yeah, I don't care for it either. <bigger grin> m lol.. yup it wouldnt hurt the tone but if i dont like the look of something it puts me of playing it..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Tartan... Actually - and I blush and hate to admit it - that metal jobbie on the headstock turned me off on some Epis I should have tried out 40 years ago. That's why, I think, I've gotten to the point where I don't care so much about what a guitar looks like as much as what it plays like - and then tone... and looks are way down at the bottom of the list unless there's something really "dumb" about the looks. Heck, I've got a fiddle with a skull and crossbones on the back. It was a gift, and I'll never consider "cleaning" that stuff off. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Well, I'm the odd man out, here, I guess, because I kind of like that "badge" on the headstock of the Kat's. Seems appropriate to the '50's vibe. Maybe, it's just because I'm "used to" it? And, since it harkens back to an earlier time, for Epi's, and not just some "weird idea," I've accepted it, more easily. Who knows? CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I just noticed one of those Epi "cats" with a Bigsby and P90s at Sweetwater for $399. m Don't do that to me Milod..........I've got GAS again....................................ah man...........

Sinner 13 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I am gonna go with Milod here, use what your comfortable with. I use a LP JR and a fender half stack and can cover ground from Johnny Burnette, to Stray Cats, to full bore Psychobilly. of course if you were to go outta pocket it would be a little more than 1.5k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Except that reverb gets overused. I recall that the reverb and trem on my DR back in the 60s got used a lot for a cupla weeks - then basically were turned off... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I remember stepping away from a practice session in an concrete floor, concrete block meeting hall and could just barely tell when I strummed a chord 'cuz of the reverb and the natural echoes in the place. <grin> m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinner 13 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Except that reverb gets overused. I keep mine dialed back just enough to "wet" the signal with a touch of what I call "bounce back" giving it almost a C&W reverb tone. and I run the tone knob dimed so I don't loose my high end.

Californiaman Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Try the Reverend Club King with the P90s.

Guest FarnsBarns Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Too much reverb? NEVER. lol Agreed ; ) I don't know why marshal wasted money fitting a reverb control on the foot swich, or a reverb level control on my TSL head. Pointless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I dunno... I still think there's too much reverb. That old DR surely could mush up stuff. In the real old Rockabilly era there was some such as one might find with Luther Perkins behind Johnny Cash. But it wasn't really heavy. I tend mostly to have a little reverb, a little chorus, other controls on the amp depending on what guitar I'm using at the time. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
