Hi everyone. Need some help from ye surf music experts. I realize this
stuff is probaby top secret. But could you give me some advice as to
amp tone settings, and pickup seletions you people use to
aquire "the"sound. My setup is a strat through a re issue reverb unit
through a re issue twin reverb or a hot rod deville 4x10. One of the
things I've noticed is when playing the bridge pickup, the tone is way
to thin without really turning down the treble, but then if I do so it
limits pickup selection If I need to change in the middle of a song.
I've experimented with taking the reverb unit out of the chain and it
still doesn't make alot of difference. By the way I did change out the
12ax7 in the reverb unit to a 12at7. No noticeable difference. And one
final note, did a lot of trad surf bands use bassman amps besides the
coveted dual showmans and twin reverbs. I have seen some pictures of
trad bands with guitarists plugged into a bassman. Thanks ahead of time
for all of your help!
