I own one of these that I bought from S.I.R. Los Angeles back in about 1979. The manager at the time showed me the rental logs for the amp and EVERYONE had rented it at one point, including Beck, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, etc. Pretty much everyone except for Clapton and Page. I’m not even a guitar player (I’m a reformed drummer) but I had to have it – right then, that day. It matches up nicely with the Jazzmaster that The Ventures gave me the day I left the band after two years as FOH/Road Manager. That particular Jazzmaster is the guitar they recorded “Walk Don’t Run ’64” with.

Beach G,
