bolero Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 hey, curious about what you guys use for amps? this is a cool old gibson GA8 I picked up: it has a bit of a nasty bright clean sound at low vols, but cranked up it has a great rock/blues sound. replaced the small stock ceramic speaker with a funky alnico from a movie projector, it totally rocks now seems like this BB resizes all pics to 640x res?....so I'll include links to hires pics too http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/bbolero/fe68453d.jpg[/img] hires: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/bbolero/fe68453d.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/bbolero/25043652.jpg[/img] hires: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b67/bbolero/25043652.jpg feel free to post pictures!!
tulk1 Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Nice Gibby Amp. BTW, there is a fairly long running thread on what amps members are using with their Heritages. I think it might have gotten buried a bit. But if you want to see it you can follow this link.
bolero Posted September 30, 2008 Author Posted September 30, 2008 ah, had a look thru the threads but I guess I missed that...thx
chico Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 In addition to the long thread on the topic, be sure to touch base with our own wingnut, who builds custom amps from kits. Very nice ones, I might add. Chico

wingnut1 Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Thanks guys I appreciate the props. You can see many of my amps in that long thread and here http://www.myspace.com/stephengarveyesq on my MySpace page.

Jessica Alba and Shirley Manson are on your friends page?

To bad my MySpace page is as close as I'll ever get to them. Sorry I didn't tell you to click on my pictures, but I thought if you were familiar with MySpace you would know that.
wingnut1 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Here is a link to where you can hear clips of some of the amps. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=714564 By the way I'm not the player on any of them.
wingnut1 Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Thanks, the 5F2a is anice little amp. One 6V6 output tube, a volume and tone nob, and a 10" speaker. Nothing to get in the way of the tone and you can crank it even at home.
