The Bassman amplifier is a classic that many of the most amazing guitar amplifiers are based upon

Interestingly, I've recently found out that the Fender Bassman amp was the basis for Jim Marshall's very first "Marshall" amplifier .. the JTM-45 .. circa 1962, otherwise known as the "Bluesbreaker" ...

I was never much of a fan of Marshall amps, to my ears they are all way too distorted and one dimensional sounding ... great tone in what they do, and they do it well, but that's all they have is that one great tone, nothing else. I've recently added a JTM-45 Bluesbreaker emulation from Universal Audio (UAD) to my DAW rig, and gotta say that it sounds *awesome* ... but it's just got that one great tone and no matter how much ya tweak it, that's the only sound that you get. To my ears a good ol' Fender Twin is far more versatile than anything that Marshall ever made.

Before I started teaching, I made a promise to God that I would NEVER intentionally make a student cry.

I have been teaching now for going on twenty years, and I have kept my promise.

Any of the major Texas cities and especially along the coastal bend. Country and classic rock are always in demand along with some jazz, cajun and Tejano. Head to Luckenbach on a Sunday afternoon/evening for the jam session and meet lots of great folks. Austin has lots of live music but the competition for $$$ is intense. I'm going to see my sisters band in Austin this weekend but if she wasn't a software engineer for Samsung during the day she'd never make it. ;o) She's in two or three different bands and plays guitar, mandolin and banjo. Singer-songwriters are everywhere. I live in the hill country about 30 miles from Luckenbach.

Man, you’re making me want to start playing again. There’s nothing finer than playing bass and falling into the groove with a good drummer.

Indeed!
I've got a buddy with an early G&L... I've been trying to get it out of his hands for years!
