Upside down, too. I cant work out if that's helpful or not, from the point of view of a "lick stealer". At least the fretbnoard looks the same - its just the fingers don't...

Well that was fairly devastating to say the least!

I've heard that forever, but that was the first time that I'd ever seen the footage. I thought for all these years that it was the Acoustic amp that I was listening to (and wondering why it sounded so killer). It was really a Dual Showman head and cab. WOW!

Isn't that the most animated you've ever seen Albert? I seen him not long before his death, and he wasn't NOTHING like that. He spent the whole gig barkin' at the soundman, barkin' at the band, barkin' barkin' barkin'. He played very little. Too bad.

I think every young guitar player should SEE that, and not just listen. The power, the physicality, and yet the ease and the just plain funkiness of his playing. And just two humbuckers plugged into a big Fender. Gives me the bumps.

I saw him in the UK before he died - he was old and sick, but OVER HERE! Viva Albert!

on a Fender XII with the double strings removed through an Orange amp!

Thanks for making my day. :D :D

Thanks for the clip. I watched it yesterday and this morning before work got a chance to plug the Les Paul into my '68 SFProR.

Nothing wrong with SFs. (Well, mine does have the BF ckt.)

I played all my SF amps as is before Tim Swartz BF'd them. The tonal difference is very subtle, and they sounded great either way.

I personally think that too much emphasis is put on blackfacing the silverface Fenders - particularly the smaller models that had fewer changes made to them. Don't get me wrong - it IS an improvement - but it's not Earth-shattering.

I loved my mid 70's SFDR. Humbuckers really sounded good through it. Whoever stole it from me probably could have cared less though.

stephent2 · February 10th, 2006, 09:46 AM

You'all made my day, what joy, thanks!

True. I didn't mod mine though, it's early enough to have the BF circuit.
