Bookmark or Share- I don't wanna be in a band anymore! | Telecaster Guitar ForumI was ganged up on by two members the other day. They angrily DEMAND that I stop playing this Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf crap that NOBODY knows, and NOBODY wants to hear (but me) and play more Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and crowd pleaser stuff. The bassist want's to do a rap tune. They ALL want to include Parliament/Funkadelic in the repertoire.
- Good amp for Muddy Waters Telecaster? - Telecaster Guitar Forumjust watched the Newport 1960 Muddy footage, now available on DVD along with a couple of other concerts from later eras. Great footage. It looks like he's playing a Gibson amp in the Newport era and a Super after that. But he's Muddy Waters -- you could put him through a Hiwatt stack or a transistor radio and he'd still sound great.
- Gibson GA-40 (or Clone) vs Fender Tremolux 5E9 (or Clone)?Tonewise, not really the same. The later GA40s have some kind of dark magic going on, a denser, hotter sound somehow than the Fender. Neither one is better; they're just different. The Fender would certainly have the better tremolo, if that's the deciding point for you. A friend of mine has the Trem de la Trem.
- Allen Hot Fudge w/ Nuts - Telecaster Guitar Forum197. Location. Kentucky. Tube and speaker swaps can go a long way to changing the voice of the HF w/Nuts. Mine originally came with a Texas Heat, a speaker that suits my band's style very well (r&r, r&b, soul). I replaced the 12AX7 in V1 with a GE 5751, and I use Tung-Sol 5881s (not the reissues) for power tubes.
- What's your favorite blues record? | Telecaster Guitar ForumAnd before there was a thing called Delmark there was the mighty fountainhead called Chess from which came the genius of Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Sonny Boy, Howlin Wolf, Otis Rush and so many more. and so on & so forth back to WC Handy and Geechee Wiley. A long way of saying I don't have one favorite or even 20 favorites.
