Guitar
All sorts of things we could look at but I thought that I should go from
one extreme to the other!
Up to now, as I primarily play bass, I have listed instruments with
only four strings, so let's jump forward and have a look at something
that has got 18 strings, a 6 & 12 string Twin Neck.
This one is an Ibanez 2640 and as twin necks go, perhaps one of the best.
There are many sounds available, Humbucker, Single Coils and Phasing
positions on the switches allow for some interesting tonal changes.
Both necks can be ran into independent amps or effects, giving even
more possibilities.
I have a thing about Twin Neck guitars, perhaps brought on by seeing
bands like The Eagles, Pilot, Rush, Zeppelin etc - John McLaughlin was
also a a well respected user.
The other well known Ibanez Twin is the 2670, which is highly decorative
with a Tree of Life inlay. To date, I have not played one of these. . . . . . .
One Day!!!
This one is a beauty and feels just right - throw the strap over
your shoulder, adjust for comfort, plug in, shut your eyes. . . .
Ah, some wonderful sounds. Twins are heavy but you don't play
them all night, perhaps for two or three numbers and then put
it down and pick up something else.
I have several other Twins, so as I go forward with the Collection,
I will put up some more.
Cheers. :)

Sunday morning - sun is out today! :) I have a new follower today, welcome on board - Torch. If you go back to the posts that started last April, when I really got going and work your way through the year, you will find listed - Peavey T-40 and T-60,...
- Ibanez Old And New . . . . .
I have quite a few Ibanez instruments. Why? Because they are good! Simple as that. I could mention John McLaughlin, Sting, Steve Lukather, Bob Weir, George Benson, Daryl Stuermer, Joe Satriani, Pat Simmons, and then add to that list, Alphonso Johnson,...
- 1967 Fender Twin Reverb - Non-master Version - In San Diego For $700
Here is a decent - though the cabinet and cloth are pretty beat up - 1967 Silverface non-master volume Twin Reverb that has had the circuit "blackfaced" for that nice vintage tone. Has a couple square magnet Ceramic speakers - they look like they...
- Fender Twin Reverb Ri In La For $550
I guess thisis a Twin Reverb RI - pretty fair price for a nice gigging amp. Though I do occasionally now see the Silverface Master Volume Twins going for about the same price in other locations around the country. But this one should be nice and clean....
- Fender Silverface Twin In Atlanta For $550
Regardless of whether or not you are concerned about the notorious "master volume" on thee amps - you and I both know that thousands of great guitarists played and recorded with these 1970's Fender Twins and made incredible sounding music. So gimme...
