Still have 2 half stacks and a single rec head to put in the room. Which is running out of room lol

Yeah, I'm actually building a shelf system in the closet this weekend to stack my amps here at the house. All the stacks are still at the warehouse though, they aren't going to fly here.

Black Fenders are like black dogs at the pound. It's hard to find a home for them.

Someone at CBS in 1967 before unveiling the Silverface Amp Line.

 

Also, I'll take a black Strat with a rosewood board any day.

Completely unrelated to amp stands, but tangentially related to amps…

Cannot verify the veracity of this post.

I've heard Sklar discuss it.  It's incorrect, sort of. He had a fake switch, because producers didn't understand that he could change his tone by repositioning his hands and addressing the strings in a different manner.  They used to ask him to change instruments and/or amps before he installed the fake switches.   The guy's a pro's pro.  Also of note: never a drop of alcohol or a drug.  Not once.

I never get tired of watching this one. That's a band at its peak. They're on fire. 

I saw them in 79 on the Nine Lives tour, before Cronin pussified the band.  It was a fantastic show.  I LOVED the way Richrath moved with the guitar.

Digging myself some Gary Richrath tonight.  I'm not quite sure how he gets a Les Paul to quack like a Strat, but good for him, I'll add it to the infinitely long list of "things I can't do on guitar":
 

I always loved this version from the Midnight Special



I always heard he had his wah half open to get that tone. Either that of the curly que guitar cable.

PSA: Old Midnight Special episodes is a great YouTube rabbit hole to go down.

Great vid. I would have thought Cronin had already turned them into Air Supply by 85.
