Re: [SurfGuitar101] Re: Reverb angst...

Marty Tippens (mctippens) - 31 Dec 2004 01:47:22

Back when I was playin' guitar the gear I was usin' was a Fender Mexi-strat (a
blue one and a white one) with .013 flats or when I was brave enough to fight
the skinny neck, a Ventures Mosrite grey market reissue from Japan with .011's
round. I started to use a Dano long horn with no 6th string and a nail at the
5th fret holding down a skinny 5th string. It wasn't too good for surf but made
a nice banjer. Amps were a mid 90's Super Amp (like Woolsey's, he and I own the
only two in existence) or a Twin II. Effects were the Fender RI tank
(unaltered), MXR Super Comp, MXR Phase 90, Sanner Fuzzrite, Dano Reel Echo. I
intend to try this stuff out again soon.
