Who would that be?

Guess who....

Nobody figured it out...

 

[SixtySix]

Give a guy a hint! I have no idea who that is/could be!

The 97 LP sounds fabulous. Pics?

Pic for You!

Here's some of my stuff... your basic Fender guitars. I have a couple of HB guitars too but no pics.

All the amps are home made DIY tube amps, I have a few more but no pictures available.

Dude! Nice work on the amps What's the preamp/power tube configuration on those?

They are all a little different, I like the tone quality of 6V6GT's so I use those a lot. I use only NOS tubes and no new production Russian or Chinese tubes. The preamp tubes are a mix of RCA, GE, Sylvania, Tung-Sol, Raytheon and a few others.

The first pic is basically a 5F6A Tweed Bassman but with 4x6v6 instead of 2x6L6 like the originals. I can replace the power tubes with 2x5881s and rebias for a little different feel and tone. 12AX7s, 12AT7 and Mazda 6V6GTs.

The second pic is a variation on a BF Princeton Reverb. I Added a mix and dwell to the reverb, a midrange control, and a presence control. It uses the stock NOS tube configuration, 12AX7s and 12AT7s with Tung-Sol 6V6GTs.

The third pic is a Tweed Deluxe 12AY7 12AX7s and RCA 6V6GTs, this amp has TBM tone controls added.

The fourth pic is a variation on an Ampeg SB12 portaflex with 12AX7s and Tung-Sol 7027As

The fifth pic is a Tweed Champ/Princeton variation with Pentode-Triode switch, 10" speaker 12AX7s and Tung-Sol 5881.

Number six is a 1957 Gibson GA15 I rebuilt for a friend of mine and added spring reverb, new cabinet and speaker 12AY7 6SL7 and a pair of Mazda 6V6GTs.

You just in it for the hobby of it, or do you sell some of these?

My only tube amp experience has been Marshall's with EL34's, I haven't actually played through any of the classics like the one's you're making.

I only do it for the hobby value, partly because of legal reasons and lack of UL approval, but I have made a couple for my brother and a few friends.

The only amp I have with EL34's is a 1976 Ampeg VT-22 I converted for those tubes to limit the headroom and get a bit more top end break up.

Sweet!

 

[marcspaz]

Well, here is my first one. It's a China Strat... can't afford a US or Mexico, but I still like it. I have had it for less than a week and I am having a blast.

I left the bar off for now. I figure that's for guys who know what they are doing.

 

[Charlie Sheen]

Welcome to the club. Soon you'll be playing like this...

 

[marcspaz]

Wow, that is something... I don't think I will be playing like that anytime soon.

 

[Boss281]

The Basses are very rare, 86' Warwick Thumbass 5 neckthrough (Hand made by Hans Peter Wilfer) and the 4 is a Tomkins from Australia (Tom Hamilton from Aerosmith has a couple. Theres also an electric upright Bass not seen in the picture.

The Guitars are an Early Parker NightFly, a Selmer/Mcafree style Gitane (Django) and an Ovation Standard Balladeer (USA).
