Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[bobyoung53]

That's what I see. Even with my bands, I'd use different amps and basses depending on what I felt like bringing that day.

Oh yeah, same here I watched a bunch of their videos last night and all I saw were black Fenders, I didn't try to look closely though just assumed they were all the same, wrong.

The video I'm watching now looks like it has both a blackface Dual Showman and a blackface Bassman. It's difficult though because the backline is so far back and they don't dwell on them. The video you posted was the first one I've seen with that Silverface amp.

Kinda sorta of makes me think of a brother/cousin/whatever to Chris Squire.

I noted that one of the guitarists was using my old 1966 Band-Master head (same as mine, anyway).

I had a black Bandmaster years ago, what a pretty sounding amp that was, would have sounded beautiful with a Ric 12 string.

That's not the same amp. That one does not have a master volume control to the right of the second channel, plus that second channel doesn't have a Middle control, either.

Here's a couple of screen shots of the "Ding Dong Ding Dong" vid:

You know I did watch that the other day and thought it was a black face amp. What a great sound he gets out of the fireglo Ric in this video.

I played my Farfisa and Wurlitzer combo organs through one way back when. Got a huge sound after the bass player made me a 15" cab like his.

ETA: Meaning that the Bandmaster cab and amp were stacked on top of the 15 cab, with the 2x12 cab turned on end, as was de rigueur in those days. Towah of powah. And prolly why I have tinnitus today.

I’ve seen the Analogues members using blackface and silverface Fenders. I think that they play whatever the Beatles used. In a show they plays a wide range of their songs, they switch instruments a lot.

Fender did have a lot of variations in the 70’s. The one below is a 412.

I've seen those before, here I think. And playing whatever they did in the particular era makes sense.

Apparently there are some in Orlando, Jacksonville, etc , FL. 76 is owned by Phillips 66, 76 was formerly called Union 76.

When I googled Union76, nada. There useta be U-76 truckstops, but they got bought out. Apparently now called just "76". I'm in Orlando about every 2 weeks. Haven't ever seen one and the Orlando area(theme parks) has at least one of damn near everything. Including the 3 day old 'World's Largest White Castle'.

I feel marginally better about the World's Largest White Castle than I might feel about the World's Largest Carl's Jr. or the World's Largest Long John Silvers.

Fried clams at LJS are pretty good(not great)and at least they have malt vinegar for them.
Carl's Jr. is Hardee's in FL. A couple in the central FL area.

White Castle tastes really good late at night.

When you're drunky.

We had Royal Castle in FL. Didn't hear of White Castle 'til many years later. Kinda thought they 'ripped off' the name from RC. Prolly t'other way 'round.

Yeah, a coupla WC/RC burgers and a bowl of bean soup went well @ ~2 AM.

The one below is a 412.

I had one of those back in the day paired with a Fender 2X15 bottom powered by a Traynor YBA-3 CS. Wall of bass...

 

[GonePlaid]

As mentioned b4, I had 2 of these. Occasionally used one head and 2 cabs, next to each other, on end. 40-50W, 2x12 each. Settings very different from today's Rumbles.

I'm not grumpy, just every once in awhile I get my period. Does that qualify?

I had a black Bandmaster years ago, what a pretty sounding amp that was, would have sounded beautiful with a Ric 12 string.

Never played a Rick 12-string through it, just a few different ZON basses, all 5-string, two of them fretless. However, I did regularly play my electrics, including a Rick (660/12), through my early '70s Princeton Reverb Amp that had a Celestion G12M-70 (it still has that speaker in it). Sounded quite nice. I had Gerald Weber of Kendrick Amps do some major mods to the Band-Master, making a killer amp!

I feel marginally better about the World's Largest White Castle than I might feel about the World's Largest Carl's Jr. or the World's Largest Long John Silvers.

I used to like Carl's Jr. a long time ago, before my taste buds developed.
