Islander Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Nice! BTW, how many guitarists does it take to play like SRV? All of them, apparently... [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Thump Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 None of them... You can't replace SRV. Word of advice if you own one of these Super's... When cranking it hard you may want to use a 2 ohm grid plate to attenuate it to a safe listening level. I know it is not any fun to do this but you will get tired of your ears ringing and putting batteries in your hearing aids 5 years from now if you don't. Secondly... Fender Amps', due to their EQ network, tend to sound very flubby at high distortion. You can fix this problem easliy enough by backing off the bass control to 2 or 3, depending on your guitar and pickup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 You're right, there's no replacing SRV, or Rory Gallagher either, for another example. Rockin' is a dangerous job, in many ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftwinger57 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Yes he used Fenders of all types but I've never seen him w/ a Les Paul no matter what age or vintage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Thump Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 True dat... SRV almost always used several Strats, including Lenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
