Re: Robben Ford's new amp and speaker

Looks like an old Bassman tube rectifier... Its all in the hands and head... Maybe he wanted to go back to his roots full circle?? I personally don't like the sound of 10" speakers not enough bottom for my taste I mean I owned a Peavey Delta Blues 210 years ago it sounded OK with the Les Paul but mu...
