A new guy into Crystal Clear sound

[Guitarsmith]

Hello all,

I'm Frank, aka Guitarsmith. you may have read of me on other forums, perhaps under my other pseudonym TelecasterTech.

I build and repair tube amps, tube TVs, transmitter radios, electronics in general, even solid state. I am a certified gunsmith since 1994, and I've been in the computer security world since 1984. I'm hoping to attend law school in a couple of years.

I collect vintage guitars and amps, and I am very proud to own my 1954 4x10 Bassman 5D6 prototype run, serial 0013.
I love the sound of early Standel tube amps, like their 25L15 and 50L15, and I'm looking to get myself one (anybody want a rare Bassman instead??!). I'm also very intrigued with the Ray Butts Echo-sonic EA-1, remarketted at the M-30 Echo-Sound by Rickenbacker in the 60's.

Hmmm.... yummie stuff: Standel, Carvin, Mosrite, TNM, Hallmark, Koontz, Rickenbacker, Ray Butts, Paul Bigsby, Gretsch, Ampeg, Magnatone, and Fender/G&L of course.

See you on the forum!!

Frank

Welcome to the forum! Prototype Bassman - very cool! I've got a hybrid Standel, it's a cool amp, but those 50s Standels are in a league of their own.
