In the early days, I believe he plugged into his Twin Reverb / JBL amp direct. Then he picked up an outboard Fender tank (probably a '65) then it was tank into his Showman Amp. At some point he inclued an echo pedal and Ivan would probably know which one (s) he used. In the studio recording tracks for Locked and Loaded, Rip prefered the sound of an Ampeq Reverb-o-rocket amp and later bought one to play out live. I believe most of the Locked and Loaded tracks were cut with his Japanese re-issue Jaguar which had the pickups replaced with Seymour Duncans he bought from me for $20. His original guitar was the blue Mex Strat. He did have "THE SOUND." Not a day goes by that I don't think about those guys. ed — Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? Top

It's a real testimony to the important legacy of both Rip and Spanky that people still discuss them, their recordings, performances, philosophies and gear. Incidentally, during the recent 'on air' we did up in Seattle in the KEXP studios, both Dave and Marty used the in-house Ampeg Reverb-o-Rockets. I was amazed at how fantastic those amps sounded! — Insect Surfers The Tikiyaki Orchestra The Scimitars Lords Of Atlantis Fiberglass Jungle - Surf Radio Top

He had also transitioned to flat wound stings, and preferred nylon Jim Dunlop .88s for a pick. Other than that, Eddie pretty much has Rip's rig pegged, as near as I recall. Jet Powers 038 Top

He was having a hum problem with the DanEcho pedal that I traced (ha, had to include that) to a ground loop situation with his wall wart power supply. After that Spanky was on his way. Split amps when possible and played lead like he had done it all along. ed — Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? Top
