Gimme indie rock!
Here's my new-to-me At Mars Specialist. Really loving this amp.
Judging by the look and size of the cord I'd say it's already been done.I would only make one change. Swap out the original two prong cord for a grounded one.
I've always read this too. The cord is the old style, but he marked how to plug it in without zapping. He has tubes, amps, chassis', and old radios everywhere. He said he doesn't change them if they have a rectifier.Judging by the look and size of the cord I'd say it's already been done.
My early 60's Gibson Maestro used to give me the zappies till I installed a 3 pronger. Problem solved.
Thank you kindly louisjames Sir.Tremendous collection. And being partial to SG's, that blue (Pelham?) Custom is a beaut. As for amps -- wow - - the Blonde Bandmaster (?) and the Ampeg V4 are particularly nice!
FWIW. My dining room`s vintage collection of Guitars and tube amps.

Damn!! Bill,that is one hell of a nice collection I am mighty impressed,and I don't impress easy....
I really love the ''small-top'' Marshall's,I always thought they were the prettiest.Are those the last of the tube Acoustics I see sitting on top of the V4? And a Peterson on top of the ''short'' stack of Marshall's?
Be back in a minute,I gotta go get a facecloth and wipe off the drool
In Canada those are as common on stage as Shure mics,and are just as reliable and good sounding.Got a couple of those myself
I've got three right now. Would love to add a bumper era YGL-3A Mark III head to complete my Traynor needs...
My buddy Gary (unfortunately long dead now) once had that model in a slanted combo with 2 twelves. Holy crap,did that give the Twin Reverb boys a run for their money!
Cleaner,punchier and fuller sounding.And the reverb was better as well. Probably had something to do with using an EL84 as the driver tube...
Good luck finding one of those.I've only ever seen two in my lifetime, and I'm past the half century mark.
Wow! Love the vintage amps in this thread. Currently I just have a Fender Super Champ XD on which the dsp board crapped out so I by passed it and now it's just a tube champ. Volume and bright controls only. I also have the complete guts to a Vox Pathfinder 15 that I am converting to a head (it will drive 2 12" speaker cab to pretty loud levels) and a Roland Micro Cube as a practice amp. Sure miss my Blues Deluxe though.
My first "good" electric guitar was a 1959 LP Junior Double Cut just like yours! I miss that guitar so much but I had to sell it in order to get my 335 which I still have.Since this has somehow turned into a guitar and amp thread thought I would post my babies. As posted in another thread one of my favorites is the Ibanez AM-50. This came out in the 80's and years before Gibson went to a smaller-body "335." Incredible player and super comfortable. The "others" aren't too shabby either.
Don't see many of those Leslie's anymore! I bet that sounds glorious! Very nicely done restoration on that combo.My 1964 Fender Bandmaster installed in a 2x10" combo cabinet. 1963 reissue Fender tube reverb unit and a Leslie model 16 covered to match.
