Thanks Dave for the pics. It’s a fun show because of noise restrictions at the venue. We play small amps and keep the volume way down so it’s enjoyable for all. I used my G-Verb and G-Spring (pictured on right). On the left, Mike has a Kendrick reverb tank (very splashy) and uses my ‘68 drip edge Fender Princeton Amp. Alan, our bass player uses a Fender Rumble 100, and Gus a small DW kit with bamboo drum sticks. All in, we have a blast and the guests and fans have great food, beverages and conversations while we are playing.

LittleKahunaCraig, nothing to be ashamed of, you guys sound amazing. Your tone is beautiful even at a low volume. Maybe I could learn a thing or two, as I get complaints about making everybody's ears bleed.

Sixstringsurfer, there is magic that happens when you crank up a fender amp, or fender style as in this Gomez G-verb. The general thinking is that to achieve the Dick Dale sound, it’s a combination of heavy strings, heavy picks, JBL speakers in heavy amps cranked. We’ve found that if you crank up a Fender Deluxe Reverb or Princeton, you can get so close and save your and the audience’s ears. Dario Gomez built the Gverb amp as a Princeton with a 15” speaker to get a surfy sound at lower volumes. This one has a Jensen C15N so it holds together nicely as I turn up the amp. It’s not a showman with a JBL, but we enjoy the vibe without the high volumes.

Thanks Craig,

Ski School was a special recording as it is all baritone guitar. We recorded it at an amazing studio with a world renowned producer (Hayward Parrott), who loves surf music. He’s produced/engineered Harry Belafonye, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Bryan Adams, Meatloaf, Chris de Burgh, Dalbello, Teenage Head, Liona Boyd, David Foster, and Urban Surf Kings lol…plus many more. It was a treat to work with him, as he really understood what we wanted and how to get it.
