Well, I can only speak about the last Navy Band I was assigned to in Charleston, SC. The guitarist had his own(ES-335?). IDK if there was an assigned guitar. The only Navy issue amp was a Super Reverb, which was also used for bass. I vaguely recall that Frank(the guitarist)also had his own amp. No idea what it was.
the military is probably a good contract for musical instrument manufacturers.....wonder if lowest bidder wins....like Kay for uprights....
As I was mostly (officially) a saxist, I didn't know-or care-about guitars/amps/etc. The volume the regular bass player or I played did no harm to the 4x10s in the Super Reverb.

Spending too much time in the GP?
Mine is about 2:00 and 10:30. I think JIO's are roughly the opposite or reverse of my settings.

Cool! It’s a twofer fest!
I can do BaCH to BaCH BaCHs…
Or for those enamored with birds with an official pedigree, there’s Gibson and Epiphone offerings…
And then there’s always my favorite, the North built birds…
…and that’s my two for Tuesday offerings. I’m gonna go jam on that Thundercaster now, such a massive sounding bird. If all my other Tbirds were eagles and hawks, this one’s a freakin ostrich.

It was funny how much the two cultures trying to emulate each other while retaining something local evolved so quickly through some wild scenes.
Those first two pictures are like looking at a Ven Diagram, lots of commonalities and a few differences. All beautiful basses.
I’m still in love with that black bass of yours. Those Dark Stars sound so musical. Loved the innovative touches on it as well.
A BaCH sidewinder! Does it get any better!
