Just a note... whenever you crank the treble on a preamp, you are always going to get a little noise. That's not a design flaw, just the nature of cranking treble on a preamp.

Beautiful! Is he/she yours?

Did your grandfather happen to play with Guy Lombardo ? He had a residency there for years.I know Jones beach very well! My grandfather use to play there. My father took me to a Buffett concert in FL. Those parrot heads definitely know how to have fun & they are very nice. This picture is so beautiful!! I'm so glad you shared it.![]()
Get any neck dive with that?
AMPEG Jess Oliver ? ..I have no clue it was a very very long time ago. He took me to see bands at Jones as he got older. Jess Oliver is my Grandfather. I think it's really cool you play though, especially at Jones, it's beautiful!!
Yes. That's who is in my profile pictureAMPEG Jess Oliver ? ..
We are not worthy! Well, gonna edit that - Linden, NJ ain't exactly what put the "garden" in the "Garden State!" (lived in Harrison and Kearny, and can speak to this). But it clearly was a wonderful place for the design and construction of some great equipment! To be clear, I'm not a huge fan of the SVT products, but the B-15 and V-4B are fabulous tools, as well as the Baby Bass (yes, on those salsa gigs!) and the scrolled-headstock EB. Many thanks to your grand-dad for his contributions!Yes. That's who is in my profile picture
