"It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea

Gee, I belive I have seen that reverb tank setting somewhere before........neat, really neat. Thanks again Brian and Eddie B for putting this all together..... Happy Eddie K (Tuck you are toast)

Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps?

Mr. Rebel, I have two more... first, what's the scoop on the jag you're currently playing? it looks (and sounds!) absolutly mindblowing. is it vintage? is it from the E&TSM days?

secondly, HBKahuna posted videos form your surf musem gig a while back, and one of them was a "modern" surf (or surf-ish?) thing you did, quite long too for a surf song. is this your new direction? are you (planning on) writing more material in this direction? Is there a change you'll get to record again, with this new material? I (and most everyone here) am fully in love with all the frist wave stuff, but it's also really cool that you're trying new directions. I loved that clip. just curious about your plans!!!

Wow, I am like Ivan and most everyone else around here, still very much in awe of your presence and most valuable input, and I too am most grateful.

I have used those basic settings on my reverb tanks since my first one in 1966. There has been considerable friendly debate on the tank settings here for years. It's good to know that I am in such good company.

Best Reverbs,

Eddie K

SonicChris...

I am unaware of Sonny being a part of the MR Moto project. But that does not mean he wasn't. Just means I didn't know about it, and that doesn't surprise me. I was left out of decisions at 15 years old that turned out to hurt me financially and otherways. So Iam sorry but no "first hand" info to offer.
I heard something not long ago that Sonny may have been a part of mastering or promoting or something. I'll check with Paul and see if he knows anything.

Thanks Chris for your interest,
Eddie

To Kyle ... diceophonic

Hi Kyle, sorry to you as well for not getting back to you sooner.

I have talked to Delvy now and then over the years. So yes we have stayed in touch. But I have no idea what he is up to at this time.

There are no immediate plans for a Bel Air reunion. Paul and I could do something if time would permit. However I don't know what's going on with Chas or Jimmy right now. It would be great fun I know that.

And now Kyle, unknowingly you hit a sore spot. I do not have any of my original gear. It makes me sick inside to think I didn't see the future.
From the fact that the quality of workmanship, the great componets, the great everything put into that equipment has never been matched since. Not to mention if I had every piece of equipment Leo ever gave me, what it would be worth. But most importantly sentimental value. And of course how great that gear sounded. I would give anything to be playing through all my original guitars and amps right now. Damn man i was lucky enough to have the first piggy back Bandmaster with two 12" instead of one 12" speaker. It was a prototype Leo built me...I am sure you have heard thaty storie.
Oh well......Live and learn.

Thanks for the questions Kyle,

Eddie Bertrand

Hi Ruhar,

It was during the bel airs that I went from strat to jag......the only reason was it was a new model fender guitar and had new sounds to play with and a smoother tremelo arm.

Most of the recordings of Eddie and the Showmen were done with th jag....but I went back to the strat in the last recordings and performances.

Thanks Ruhar,

Eddie

Glen Campbell played some guitar on the Super Stocks recordings and probably other surf style songs recorded by the Wrecking Crew.

Campbell supposedly played lead guitar on some instrumental hot-rod albums that came out on Del-Fi in the sixties, credited to made-up bands: the Darts, the De-Fenders, the Deuce Coupes. Here's a link to the Amazon site selling the Del-Fi CD that compiled all that stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Del-Fi-Hotrodders-Darts-Fenders-Coupes/dp/B0002LO7BA
I have an earlier version of this CD. I haven't listened to it in many years, but my memory is that it's all rather generic and lacking in much passion or imagination. They sound like they just went in and played the music that was put in front of them. Campbell did not impress.

Hey WR

About the Jag. It's not my original Jag from the eddie and the showmen days but it is a late 64' early 65' with ALL the parts Leo used to build the "good" Jags. So I am very lucky to own it. A very good friend of mine owned it and he sold it to me. Was hard for him to give it up.
You are right WR it has an awesome sound....I have not played any others that come close. Its' dynamic and deep rich tones blow me away. Again, a very lucky find.

That modern more progrssive piece was just a jam with myself. I Started a loop with a Roland SGE 1000 digital delay, playing the two notes on the bottom strings and locking them into the loop. Then I just played what I felt at the moment the rest of the tune. A couple of the melody lines were sort of pre worked out, but for the most part I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to do.
It will not be that long or even close to that long when it's recorded. It has been copyrighted with the basic obvious melody lines and loop concept. And will be on the new CD. There is no date yet for when the CD will be finished. But asap...It's a work in progress.
I have written some new material with the original eddie and the showmen sound in mind. So there will be a lot tunes sounding like I did in the 60s.

Great questions WR thank you,

Eddie

MrRebel
