Show Off Your Rigs: Rebirth

VOLVO))) · March 17, 2011, 11:16:19 AM

Diggin' all the V4's, and the VT-22? I HAD THAT SAME GIBSON V! DID IT HAVE EMG'S IN IT WHEN YOU GOT IT? Ffffff... I'm going to have to find another one of those. I foolishly sold it in a fit of "this guitar is a little gay for me." Turns out, I'm pretty gay myself, and I really want that guitar back. Moral of the story: KEEP EVERYTHING.

Discö Rice · March 17, 2011, 11:42:59 AM

How gay is this? I've become completely obsessed with the Gibson Marauder.

TheWolf IsLoose · March 17, 2011, 11:48:22 AM

That's pretty gay...

where the hell is the delete post button?

Discö Rice · March 17, 2011, 12:05:26 PM

There isn't one. Your stuck with it. I suppose you could keep changing it, though.

Discö Rice · March 17, 2011, 12:12:59 PM

They're like Harvey Milkgay.

anyway, that's fine - more Marauders for me

What needs deletion?

VT-40

I got the V in '91-'92 at E.U. Wurlitzer in Framingham, MA for $450 I think. I added the EMG's, Grover locking tuners and dome knobs. You've gotta love the cheesy 80's pinstripes. I'd never sell it.

Dude in one of my band's has two (count 'em!) vt-40s. Awesome amps.

peyotepeddler · March 17, 2011, 06:29:30 PM

cool 4x15 your bass player has there

if i'm not mistaken, the actual matamp 4x15's he had were a bit wider than those

peyotepeddler · March 17, 2011, 08:14:47 PM

nothing has really changed

Hemisaurus · March 17, 2011, 10:29:32 PM

I found this in Z-Vex's porn stash, I think it belongs to Kevin Shields.

mortlock · March 17, 2011, 11:17:46 PM

thats fuckin insane..

bass sic · March 18, 2011, 12:04:44 AM

How the fuck does one navigate through that mess?

clockwork green · March 18, 2011, 12:57:25 AM

No, that's them. Be had at least 3 of them. Hank 3 has two of them. This came from a guy I know that got it directly from Al. He was practicing down the hall from us but that might have just been for the Sleep reunion either way I could ask him if it was that important.

I confirm that Hank 3 has two of 'em.

Wesogkan · March 18, 2011, 09:19:54 AM

I'm so re-covering my 2x15" in that tolex...

Instant Dan · March 18, 2011, 12:56:46 PM

Misrepresentation!

Wesogkan · March 18, 2011, 08:58:37 PM

Pfttt...It's not like I'm prying the Ampeg logo off and replacing it with a Green logo...I've just always dug the color.

That and green tolex isn't exclusive to Matamp/Electric..

How can a stoner resist when a cab needs recovering?

spookstrickland · March 19, 2011, 12:03:22 AM

Those looking fucking bad ass! like an old Peavey T60 with a Flying V neck. I had never seen one before but now I want one bad!

cheers brother, wasn't trying to split hairs, they just look wider in the om pic and the green label looked higher than mid cabinet

either way, a 4x15 is so tasty, especially when added with a 4x12, drool

also, your practice space is to cool for your own needs:)

no shit?

hank is a great guy, the man plays it straight up, every time i have spoke with him he is so down to earth and humble, i have alot of respect and love for him, i'll have to post a pic of the dollar he signed, great night, he played 3 + hours

clockwork green · March 19, 2011, 01:16:04 AM

I think it looks more narrow because the Trace head is way wider than standard Matamp heads.

Hank's been posting on the gear page lately...seems like a good guy and anyone that likes talking gear is cool with me.

VOLVO))) · March 19, 2011, 01:20:39 AM

Hank ain't no rockstar.

A $5 can of fluorescent green paint is a lot easier, looks better under stage lights too
