I still follow the sport on ESPN and at the NHRA site,but those early years still hold some great memories,as well as some great old school racing duels...Sox vs. "Grumpy" Jenkins,etc...Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zachman Posted October 12, 2006 Members Share Posted October 12, 2006 Originally posted by Megadeth Man When I first got into teh axe (early 80's) vintage valve stuff was well out of vogue. It was before all those bloody geeky amp collectors drove the market way up. Consequently there was plenty of good cheap gear knocking about and quite often it was stuff from "dead" rock bands, as that type of music wasn't to big either. So it was fairly standard for people's equipment to have some sort of rock history. I can remember I had ex-moody blues ( ) Orange cabs, ex-Hawkwind Zoot Horn head, ex-Who Hiwatt Custom 200.

Members zakkerhoads Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 I have a 76' Les Paul standard that used to be owned by John "Mad Dog" Watkins, a Chicago blues guy. Don't know if he was famous or not, but I did find an album cover with him holding that guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FloydianAnimal Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 My 5150 was owned by several pro punk bands, including Mad Caddies and Lagwagon I believe (got it through a drummer who knew them when I jammed with that drummer...)

Members YK13 Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 I think my marshall 9040 once belonged to Boltthrower although that is what the guy who sold it to me told me. I bought it really cheap so I don't think he did it so that he was going to make me get it or anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Welladjusted Posted October 13, 2006 Members Share Posted October 13, 2006 The guy I bought my PH-2 from bought his Bogner Ecstacy from A Perfect Circle. Not sure which guitarist, but it would be consistent with Billy Howerdel's gear choices. That's all I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 46&2 Posted October 15, 2006 Members Share Posted October 15, 2006 Some say that SRV and other well noted guitarists played this particular amp... but the only reason I bought it was to get those '80s Lifeson Rush tones.And yes... the Waborita is mighty tasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sekler Posted October 16, 2006 Members Share Posted October 16, 2006 Originally posted by rainthing I had a dual-neck Gibson that was owned by Jimmy Page for a bit. Also had a talkbox that Peter Frampton used on a live album called "Frampton Comes Alive". Hmmm...a few more...let's see..a black strat owned by Eric Clapton (I think he called it "Blackie"? ), an SG owned by Angus Young of the band AC/DC, and a '58 Les Paul owned by Billy Gibbons...I believe he called it Pearly gates or something like that. Oh...and a banjo played in the movie "Deliverance". impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
