Bobs Amps

Post by ampmike »

No,I played it,It had tremolo.I believe it was for a blues guy.Bob is a sound engineer and does sound in stadiums all around the world.He does a lot of big named bands.Jason Aldean to Fall out boys.He builds amps for a variety of players.I did 8 4x12's for him this summer for a stage design.He is a real cool guy and builds wrecks and fenderish amps as well.I wish I played it a bit more.

Hi Mike,

As always your work is inspiring and wood drool worthy! You had to build 8 4x12's? That would be a pile of sawdust. Did you ever get that walnut for the 4x12 to behave?
