Don't worry.  They're just a passing fad... same as those new fangled solid body guitars!

Well, here is a pic of my '61 Jazzmaster a couple of years back; this is at the Bottom Of The Hill during the Noisepop festival, maybe in '08?  Ned Ward, I seem to remember you playing there a while back, no?

Cool guitars, everyone...

Nice Jazzmaster Nils! And yes, you're correct, our band played at Bottom of the Hill in 2011 and 2012 for Fortune's Battle of the Corporate Bands. They moved the regionals back to LA, so this year we played at The Mint, and will be in the finals again in Cleveland September 6th. We loved Bottom of the Hill, and became friends with the bouncer, Guido, who is a great car guy and Hot Wheels fan - he built a full scale working Red Baron!


Here's a pick of my most recent acquisition - AVRI 62 Telecaster Custom. Pickguard is the Ilitch noise-canceling system (Lindy Fralin distributes it) and it really does cut down on single coil hum significantly without sacrificing tone. Everything else is still stock.

I do like a Tele with edge binding!

Agreed, that is a great looking guitar, Ned... a classic.

[Bob Leonard]

Very nice Ned, actually outstanding if you pull the Dr. Z out of the picture.

[Ned Ward]

Now now Bob… actually, the EL84's really compliment the Bandmaster 6V6. One of the reasons I bought a Radial Bigshot ABY pedal - to leave it on BOTH…

We recorded our version of "Immigrant Song" with my playing through the Dr. Z head into my 2x12 closed Bandmaster cabinet, and it sounds very good. Different from Fender, but still good. It's making me think my next amp purchase will either be a Deluxe Reverb or a 18-38 watt Maz 38 from these guys. They're handbuilding/wiring them right outside of Cleveland, and their attention to build quality and reliability would make Leo Fender proud...

Nice toy, Bob.  I assume it has the same neck as my '61 RI, which is great.  A couple of the toys:

2011 '61 RI & 1998 Tele Deluxe Nashville

I know this is supposed to be a guitar thread but I can't let the mention of EL84s pass without showing a picture of my usual gigging amplifier. A WEM (Watkins Electric Music) Dominator Mk I Bass.  17 watts - designated Bass as it had a 15" speaker although I don't think many people actually played bass through them.
It was a gift from a friend.  The 15" speaker was ruined so I made an adaptor plate to fit it with a similar vintage 12" speaker without having to modify the amp.



Right... I'm just off to photograph my Gretsch now!
