T2, for you I'll keep an eye open for a Bassman head. They are very prized possessions. No Tremolux or Bandmaster reverb--- correct? :D

Topp... Just had to post this YT. Somehow, Gilmour was able to squeeze all kinds of tones out of his Strat (not just Blues and R&R --- with the usual number of frets. Check about 9:28 into flic. Good YT, as it shows his handy-work. Talk about a WALL of sound! Worth an hour of viewing, IMHO :mrgreen:

Notice the Leslies? One day gonna rebuild and keep one of them. :)

Thanks. I will check it out.
My hopefully near-mint 1964 Fender Twin Reveb arrived today.
I will NAD it to myself, first, then maybe a picture, and maybe toss
in a couple of brothers and sisters (yes, some of my amps are "my girls" :lol: :lol: :lol:).
But, gotta put her together to see if she survived the long UPS ride. I'm always concerned.
Later.

Beemer, not really a Pink Floyd fan, but went through half of the video. The B3 and Leslies are way cool. The WEM's are also neat. What kind of guitar amplification, do think Mr Gilmour is using? Art

Anybody seen the Grateful Dead wall of sound?
Gosh. producing & building up some of these shows must be back-breaking,
ear-deafening, sun-sweating, micro-managed, time constrained, and
a joyous endeavor :wink:

Whoa, that Gilmour "you tube" site was way heavy duty! Wish I could have got "Whiter Shade of Pale" to play straight away(couldn't sit through 5-second sections). Yeah Topp, caught the Dead in Goldengate Park, early '65 through '68. The wall of sound was Blue Sandoz(64-65), White Osley(65-66), Purple Osley(66-67). After that, the contamination set in and the whole scape deteriorated, quite preciptously. But yeah, Sunns, Showmans, and Twins, as best as I can recall. And I remember, the Airplane's bass player had a bunch of Blonde Bassman's. Acapulco Gold, did they make amps? Peace, Art

I don't know about any amps but do you remember this song......?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7A7Hkwqyfw

I too spent many a weekend afternoon at Golden Gate Park, Art. Quicksilver, PG&E, those Moby boys, Paul, Marty & Grace et al, the Dead. Plenty of Fender but also Kustom, Sunn, even a sprinkling of Standel and Magnatone.

Ah, those were the days......(sigh)

:mrgreen:

I remember it quite vividly because our local top-40 station (KXOA - 1470 AM) played it twice and was warned by the FCC not to play it again. When they ignored the warning and played it a third time the station was zapped by an immediate $10,000 fine.

It made the headlines of the Sacramento Bee and all of the local TV news outlets.

To be honest, Arjay, amps were the last thing on my mind at those free concerts. But yeah, Kustoms for sure. I think the Dead used some custom built stuff too. It was summer '66 when I got a 4X10 Standel, not too bad of an amp. Couldn't afford a Super Reverb, but it was step up from the Sears Silvertone. Art

The Dead had WALLS OF JBLs a fifty feet high and 100 feet long, or so :shock:

Saw The Grateful Dead as a kid in Santa Barbara with Maria Muldaur.

I had one of those 4 x 10 Standels for a brief time (the "Imperial" something-or-other). When the chassis smoked (and most of them did sooner or later) I threw the guts away and used the cab with a '67 Bassman. C10R's as I recollect.

Hey, were you at that concert where Sam Andrews (of BB&THC) had his whole stack blown off the stage? I think it was May of '66 and The Great Society was the opening act.

It was the first time I ever saw two Dual Showmans smashed up like that......really tragic.

:cry:

No man! '66 I was a junior at St Monica's High. Summer didn"t happen till June. And then It was pretty wide open, although I did work at Watco(wood finish) Corp, Santa Monica. We'd steal away for long weekends, usually camping in Big Sur. Believe it or not we drove a VW bus. A classic time!!! But yeah, that Standel puked after three or four years, the cab went north to my nephew in Oregon. He used it for over twenty years. Art

You cousin used your "puked" speaker cabinet for twenty years?
Sounds like the cab and VW should have been a match for each other :lol:
