Re: CNSY's bassist during the 1960s

Bunch of questions were asked (by me, too).

In the process of figuring out wth WAS that electric 12-string David Crosby played on the Tom Jones Show (and you must see that!), I discovered.

It was Greg Reeves!

 

[Arohana]

Crosby played a Guild Duane Eddy that was converted to a twelve-banger.
But what was Greg Reeves playing through? You know I want to say "a Fridge (Ampeg), of course," - but I'm not sure.

Not a Gretsch?
I can't tell from the video whether it's a Guild or a Gretsch...but I'm pretty sure I've seen pics of Crosby playing what looked like a Gretsch White Falcon albeit w/ 12-strings.

As for the "fridge" amp bassist Greg Reeves is playing through...cabinet could be an Ampeg (I forget the model that had the single 15 or 18" driver in a rear-loaded folded W-horn) or an Acoustic 301 or a Univox. Head really reminds me of a Univox.

Its an Acoustic 360 it has the badge on the cab, I think they just painted the blue part black. Tom Jones sounds great BTW.

That 12-string looks more Gibson-like, although the headstock is a bit of a head scratcher. Sort of a cross between Gibson and Epiphone but the inlays in it are nothing I recall (as best as I can tell from the video).

It's a brain-teaser.

Nope. Straight up brilliance.
