fleabag Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I hadnt heard of this name till i accidently saw ZZTop , in fact both Hill and Gibbons are playing through Magnatones Having checked the company webby, i didnt see a bass combo, , so is Hill playing through a guitar amp ? Just curious .. https://magnatoneusa.com/products/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Think they're all guitar. Martin Simpson has one from 1958, a thing of rare beauty. At the start of this clip. Later on, he even uses the word 'heft' without trace of embarrassment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 What a fabulous sound he's getting. Didnt know they'd been a round for decades ! Yup, i guess , as you say, Hill must be playing through a guitar amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonse Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Think I read somewhere that he uses guitar amps for top-end grind, which he tends to have plenty of, but most of the meat is straight from the desk. I figure they're probably mostly just for looks. Better than having washing machines I guess...😉 Rev Willy G resurrected the brand I believe, so that may have something to do with it.
