Re: What Is Your MAIN RIG When Playing With Other Musicians?
At practice it is usually my pedal board equipped with a few Drive pedals and my Line 6 M9 into a Ampeg Jet II 12r. At gigs I usually play through either a ZT Club or a Lunchbox. For outdoor gigs my SFTR. And for my cover band my DRRI

Hmmm... Let me think... I use what-ever guitar comes to hand as I'm loading the van, but I have a few choices for amplification. Small gigs, a Roland Cube 30x, Medium, either a Carvin SX200, or a Fender FM 212R. Large gigs, my i-pod into my Peavey PA system, 1500 watts, and four Peavey SP5's...LET'S ROCK!!!

Dennis seems to be having us on a bit!
That's actually the late great John Cipollina's rig from Quicksilver Messenger Service, one of the best bands to come out of the late-'60's San Francisco scene. Check out the first two Quicksilver albums, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Happy Trails--there's some killer guitar playing on both. Those first two albums are their best, as after about 1969 they became pretty much the backup band for screechy folksinger Dino Valente and went downhill pretty quickly. Definitely one of the most underrated bands from the '60's, and nobody seems to play like that anymore.

Quicksilver..great. John Cipollina..awesome. I never saw Quicksilver live, but I did see John playing with The Dinosaurs (including Berry Melton) in a bar here in Seattle a couple of times. He didn't have that rig, of course. Wow! What a loss of a super guitar playes.

I never know what guitar will go out until I get ready to go. Anyone of the 2 Gretsch's or the parts rite Mosrite or the Hallmark 60 Custom. It was the 60 Custom last Saturday. The amp has been a Peavey Delta Blues 115 along with a Korg 3000G for delay and reverb. I live the Fender Twin Custom 15 but at 60 and having a bad back it now stays at home.

My Bamboo Yellow Gretsch Annie gets the most play, especially away from the house. Second is a Mosrite Celebrity. Depending on the venue it's either a Vox AD15 or small Gretsch tube amp.
