What guitar are you playing Johnny?

[Chobbersjnr]

What guitar are you playing Johnny?

1960 Gibson 345 stereo which I bought in 1966. I retired it ten years ago when I went on to a Steinberger, a Godin LGX, a Parker Midifly and finally a Parker Fly Supreme. I have just had the Gibson refinished, refretted, rewired and new machine heads fitted. Really nice to be playing it again. Will be using it in stereo with Echoplex and Binson echoes,2 Dearmond volume/tone pedals, 2 Crybabies and a Vox AC30 along with a 1969 Fender Pro.

The system I was using last night was a Hughes and Kettner Toneman, Hughes and Kettner Replex Echo and a Dunlop Crybaby DI'D into the PA and the other pickup was through a Morely Volume/wah pedal and the Musicman amp.The only valves are in the preamp and echo and the power amp of the Musicman. My new/old system will be almost all valve.

A couple of questions... are the Crybabies going into the different amps? What year is the AC30?

Yes. The amp is 1970 with modern Jensen Alnico's. My other Vox is 1962/3 but don't know if it is worth restoring. With a Fender Twin, two Selmers, a 1962 Tremolux Fender, a Blackface Bassman and various other Marshal combo's etc I don't know what I will end up using.

[Jeid]

You have a 62/3 Vox AC30 and you ain't sure if you should restore it? Have you gone mental?

I had a 1964 AC30 once upon a time. Great amp it was too. I bought it for £560. The company I bought it from thought it was a 70's series "Vox Sound" AC30 (unless you're an amp geek, most people won't know the difference or have a clue what I'm talking about) but when I got it home and did some research on it, it turned out to be a JMI. The speaker dates were July 1964.

The 62/3 will be worth restoring. What year is your Twin? Silver or Black face?

The Twin is Willie's and is a seventies model. The older Vox was a cream piggy back which I bought from Zebedy's uncle in 1970 and needs a complete rebuild as all components except the transformers have deteriorated badly. Ac30's were horrible amps which we cursed as the innefficient primitives they were. I bought my first one in 1964 after hearing Jeff Beck in Wick. Noisy, humming beasts. My favourite amp from that period was the Burns Orbit of which I have three. The first solid state guitar amps to hit the market in 1963. Mine are too fragile for gigging. I am thinking about using a Marshal Stereo fifty valve power amp or a modern Rocktron Velocity for the stereo Gibson but to be honest, I have yet to make up my mind.
