Led Zeppelin, particularly live, and my opinion of them has gotten me in trouble over the years. Now when people want to talk with me about them I just kind of glaze over and nod.44 years later and I still haven't a sloppier show including a couple of doosies by my own band .
OMG!!! Just look at all that vinyl!!! I bet it sounds goooooooooooood in that room!!!Beauties all! Your brown-burst '64 II almost looks like a cherry-burst. Is it just the pic or is there red and is the dark brown halo less dark tobacco than average? Cool nonetheless.I have a '75 B-15N and just had a new V pot (channel 1) and power (JJ) tubes installed - it sounds better than ever!
edit: after seeing my pic, I went on-line and found "Mojotone" and through them ordered a yard of era specific blue/silver grill-cloth for my B-15N - mine was this way (stained) when I bought it (8 years ago?) and I've thought about replacing it since - otherwise it's in VGC.

Kinda negates the whole wall wart thing, dunnit?
I agree, for the most part. I think many more musicians are playing straight these days too. Straight being relative. Sound systems and acoustical engineering have also come a long way.

Got rid of that one so you could come back to this one?

Damn... that '64 brings a tear to my eye.
Thanks! I was lucky to buy it (for a good price) right before B-15 madness, as in; after buying it the next issue of bass player mag had a front page pic of the new RI B-15 and instantly everyone wanted one! (and for good reason!) The good news about this amp is that it was made for 20 years ('60-'80) and so there are a lot of them out there. (a lot of them are in recording studio's all across the globe!)
Here's another from an Ebay listing about 10 years ago...sold for $4500 IIRC.That's cool that you have somewhat of an anomaly as every gen 1 T-bird I've ever seen looks like mine w/no red and definitely brown based. Maybe a custom order? Who knows?
I emailed Haworths and got a rubbery timeframe that puts us out to mid-late October. I half expect that may slip a bit if the demand from larger markets is stronger than expected by Epi.
That looks like the Ampeg I had a play around with. The N makes it a 70s and 60watt - is that correct?Beauties all! Your brown-burst '64 II almost looks like a cherry-burst. Is it just the pic or is there red and is the dark brown halo less dark tobacco than average? Cool nonetheless.
