Location: Waurika OK | My favorite amp was an Alamo Fury Bass amp, made in San Antonio. Haven't been made since the late 60's early 70's. Not a pure tube amp., had a 15 inch speaker, could play either electric or acoustic with an in hole pickup.
No effects.
In one of those stupid fits of disgust where you trade a bunch of stuff for something of lesser value, I got rid of it three years ago. A friend of mine then bought it and looks like I will buy it back next week. |

Location: Port Angeles, WA | Fender Twin Reverb I bought in 75 was my favorite amp. I sold it and my wonderful Gibson SG when an old bandmate put cash in my hand in the early 90s during a weak moment...a sale I've regretted every day since.

( Cliff, I can assure you that you're wrong. I've just got back from a couple of trio gigs. I was playing my nylon viper, book mando and a squareneck dobro, Bob on guitar and vocals plus a perc player. Last night's show was sold out and the room was way too full and the crowd a little rowdy. The L1 had no problems whatsoever, and I had a lot of positive comments about the sound from people in the audience. I made a point of sitting out on a couple of numbers so I could check out the sound around the room. It sounds completely different to a conventional system and takes a little adjusting to, but it just works. For shows where I have to haul my own sound I can't see myself ever going back to boxes on tripods. I would suggest that the people you heard using the L1 hadn't "read the manual" Also The L1 needs 2 bass bins to develop any guts for mutiple inputs at respectable volume. That's no hardship, the Bose L1 bass units are tiny and light as a feather. |
