guitar porn...the late edition II
Looking for some cool tone that won't cost ya a fortune...? 1965 Airline 1x12" amp...I played this one side by side with a buddy of mine's late 50's Fender Tweed Deluxe and it was ALMOST as good an amp. And since you can get one of these for between 150.00 and $300.00 depending on the condidtion (AND the Airline has tremolo!) and the Tweed Deluxe will set you back in the 2 Grand area...it's a pretty good substitute.
It's a mid 60's Airline, with 2 6V6's for output, a 6X4 rectifier and 2 12axy's in the pream
p. Made by Danelectro...much like the Silvertone 1482 (pictured below) but slightly deeper sounding, and not quite as cool looking (check the Silvertone's photo-rad)...More soon...including some actual writing posts, and some more funky guitar stuff, including my new late 60's/early 70's Montgomery Ward (made by Valco) head....which i'll be playing with The Chairs...
Still using the Magnatones with The Violet Rays and The Danbury Shakes...the Shakes' demo is just about done and will be up at myspace.com soon.
