The Holy Grail

[tot_Ou_tard]

Having now supped from the Holy Grail, and felt its intoxicating allure, I can only tell you this: there's no turning back.

Ain't nuthin' like the real thing, baby!

I missed this news, congrats Nelsk!

As you all know, I am a baby at the guitar 9 mos & counting...pretty soon I'll be able to walk 'n' later to talk...

But back in April (when I was 4 mos old) I did once plug a a Schecter CSH-1 into a Super Reverb of unknown vintage & played what little I could. I couldn't crank it up so everything was clean.

Man O man the way the chords and single notes rang out...

shear angelic beauty.

If a single note can getcha

G

Oh....*MAN*

teardrop

should I try another...no wait for it

G G g g g g .......

Now!

C

and bring you to your knees. Then I can only imagine what truly jamming through such a monster will do to you.

Have fun Nelsk! I I hope we don't lose you too long to the ethereal jam!

Ethereal jam! It goes heavenly with super chunky peanut butter & whole wheat bread with a little grit n' chaff still in it!

How long we gonna let this guy skate by clipless???

Ha ha ha - skate by, eh? Judging by the multi-colored, larger-point fonts being used to issue these implicit demands, the natives must indeed be getting restless.

I suppose I don't have to mention the fact that I've now developed a huge complex from all of this peer pressure, and hence, will most likely need to go through several months of intense psychiatric evaluation before I can even strap on a guitar, and stand in front of an amp again. So, in the mean time, while I heal my fragile psyche, you can dig the bodacious tones of this dude's '64 Blackface Super Reverb at the Riff Matrix website (*listed under the "Gear" section):

And BTW, Spud - - it's just a Super Reverb. In 200 years, no one will care what it sounded like anyways.

Touche'. Still, I want instant gratification. If you need a therapist might I suggest that little St. Pauli Girl. She has a way.

woooooooww lovely super. I'd love a 68 one. pretty sure mines a late 70s one but, if i came across a 68 locally i'd have to grab it!

[Tone2TheBone]

Oooo that looks like my Classic 50s Strat.

Supers are fantastic no matter what the year. Turn those babies up halfway and they spank heavenly tones with a Strat or Tele. It's part of the sounds we live for.

[sesroh]

yeah.. they're lovely amps. I've had mine less than a month

Super cool...I'm gonna drool.

You & Tone should record a seafoam green surf duo.

Sorry but I have to correct this common mistake.

What if I call it Surfoam green just to taunt you?

Thats a real nice SR Sesroh , its easy to determine the year of the amp , its definitely a post 74 , check the numbers on your transformers, they should read something like this 606-631, the last three digits reflect the year and week of production of the transformer , and will generally give you a pretty close indication of its date of assembly . nice to see Nelskie's name on a post even if it is from the past ..still miss that guy and his posts.. 6S9L

My dad bought me one in 1968. The thing that i thought was coolest was the power plug on the back of the amp! I wish my 65' re-issue twin reverb had that extra plug.
Look for a device called the "Ice Cube". It was a small plastic light-blue cube that you could plug into the reverb plug. It was activated by the reverb foot switch and gave the coolest overdrive boost.

I had one in 1968 and it was the heaviest thing I ever moved. Of course I lived in a 3 story converted Victorian Mansion and I had to carry it up 3 flights of stairs. A friend of mine has a 1970.

Cool! Your first post is to resurrect an old Nelskie thread.


Is this the gizmo?

I still have that somewhere in my 'old stuff' box. I used it on my Princeton. I didn't think it worked very well.

[markb]

The Ice Cube sounded horrible.

If you need any more watts I have a 100 watt silverface Showman dual reverb head converted into an early 70's twin cab combo that needs a new home.
