Here's my Tahitian through an Ampeg 4x10 cab. This clip is just my Mosrite Joe Maphis Model 1 straight into the amp. I'm so glad I didn't sell this some years ago...! Love this amp and my Gomez tank. Now, who will send me a 15" tone ring cab El Twitter Last edited: Jul 15, 2023 14:49:20 |

Great move changing course, holding onto that one, Lars!! Here is my contribution to celebrating Dario's legacy. I started with the El Sonido head, cabinet and matching blonde/wheat G-Spring in late December 2010 if I recall correctly, maybe really early January 2011. In July 2012, I lucked into the Surfer head. As I've shared before, this was originally 1 of 2 Surfer combo's ever built. With Dario's help, I got a proper piggyback head cabinet and I believe one of if not the last tone-ring cabinet from Dario. He was well into his building hiatus at that point but had one cabinet left from a batch Paul Windsor made for him. Dario kindly dug it out of storage and sent it across the country for me. It wasn't until January 2020 that I picked up the matching blonde/oxblood G-Spring from a fellow forum member here. Dario really did some phenomenal work. I pinch myself every time I plug in - especially when Mike/morphball (fellow El Mirage'er with matching setup) and I are able to play out live and loud with the boys in the band. The good fortune to be the custodian of these is not lost on me. Grateful and lucky.

I was privileged to own the other Gomez Surfer Combo 15. It made many trips to Instro Summits, was played by Paul Carson at the REX when the Atomic Mosquitos opened for Dick Dale twice. And thanks to Jonpaul it was used by Oleg and is now in good hands in the California surf community, which fulfills my promise to Dario when I bought it that his amp would always be part of our community.

Dre played the Gomez tank at Surf X Surfwest IV on Friday night that he won in the 2019 SG101 raffle . He bought one raffle ticket and has felt guilty ever since haha. Now look, I'm the drummer and all but I gotta say, the Gomez is amazing.
