That's the actor from the Blues Brothers!

I always wondered what was in the pipe.

It has the Med look, so could be anywhere from California to the eastern Med. That is an olive orchard in Salt, overlooking the Jordan valley.

As-Salt, Jordan ?

 

[Stealth57]

As-Salt, Jordan ?

That is correct; Though the As- is dropped when speaking for some reason.

Ready to go on! I love Sunday dinner.

This is very likely my favorite cab. It’s a perfect match for the newer re-issue v4b. It has all the bottom I need, even in lower tunings, and combined with that head, the mids and higher mids come through.

And it’s not too big, nor too heavy.

Still, I’d love to find some neo drivers that would not change its basic tonal qualities, power handling, or efficiency (or even better, improve them).

Yes, great cabs.

For sure! It's all about the players. 2 guitars requires them to stay out of each other's way. And realistically most recorded rock music has at least 2 guitar parts, even if there's only one in the band.
Three guitarists obviously can work as well, but they better know what they're doing!

Reminds me of...

Is there a beer can in there?

Is there a beer can in there?

Sorry, a sparkling water can half filled with tap water. Same result as using beer. I don’t waste beer. YMMV.

shooting for 300 liters this time, we fell short (267) last time...

 

[TBird1958]

This 60's Epi is at GC priced at $629 . I paid the -10% clearance price, so a good discount but no return. I'll get it cleaned up and post a better pic...where can I get a gig bag?

Lovely Thunderbird, please do let me know if you'd like a number

I was off doing an afternoon show in the little town of Edmonds, north of Seattle. It got pretty sunny and warm.

I would absolutely love to taste some.

Did something similar with my Silver Goth a few months back. Used a DiMarzo One pickup in the Mudbucker position. It’s not the same as using an EB clone pickup, a bit more range on the DiMarzio. And I used an Aguilar OBP-2 preamp with an added Dingwall four way selector switch to maximize tonal options. Sounds great!

The pic was taken prior to adding the four way knob.

Here’s a couple sound clips…
Mudbucker solo - bass neutral, treb max

As in the real Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Better with the discount. Congratulations!

There are probably some available from members here who got them with an Epi ‘64 and never use it. Ask.

The Epi Tbird case at $129 offers better protection. YMMV

Awesome! Outdoors too, I would live in Edmonds tomorrow, would have moved there had I stayed in WA, great pics!!

And they were all real musicians...save for the Blues Brothers.

Akyroyd actually played harmonica IIRC.

They both sang.

Maybe not great musicians... but musicians.

I remember songs like "Rubber Biscuit" getting airplay.
