Jimi Hendrix' Gear and Mods at West Coast Organ and Amp

[stratcat]

No, I don't "agree". I KNEW this for decades. Some cabs to hear Noel's bass on Jimi's side and visa-versa. Not rocket science. What's the difference how loud they were, they were for onstage monitoring, not mic'd thru the PA

hmmm "onstage" ... though i showed a pic of fillmore east where there's a guild cab that is not "onstage" a while back , but turned to the public ... taking advantage of some unused "monitors" to spread the sound a little more and take advantage of the reverberation , doesn't seem so much of a whack idea for me !

why the fuck is such a simple idea , that much a strech ?
is it rocket science ?

As well as controlling his feedback at the touch of a volume button by feeding it through the traynor yorkville ysm1 monitor on the seat , conveniently beeing able to wail' it without having to constantly go back and forth to the stacks ?

For fuck sake , if i was all about playing with feedback , and had powerful stacks blocking me from doing that with subtelty ( god knows a stack on the verge of blowing up is a finicky thing to turn to strapped with a guitar , provided you don't wanna blow up ear drums , and find controlling it with the guitar volume just sucks, cuz you have to play only with that effect at a time and can't do anything else ) , i'd do that in a heartbeat !

Do me a favor and stop quoting me. I have ZERO interest in anything you say as I consider you an ASSHOLE

This section needs to be renamed the Dave-Xplorer section since its just them Dave BS's and Xplorer eats it up. Every one else sees its all BS. They need to just take it to Im's and do the right thing letting every one else have this area back

Man , slow down about the douching motion... i wasn't agressive ...if that's the depth of your reasoning well have fun ...alone , in your wonderful inner world , where jimi calls you brother ^^and hugs your reaaal tight ^^

Frenchie, you're cool on the re-amping idea. Jimi told me he did it back in 69. The two folks here who are trying to wreck the forum never knew Jimi, talked to him, touched any of his gear, talked to his roadies or had anything to do with him. Collecting Jimi posters has no authority, and being rude doesn't mean a thing. It will just get them booted off the forum.

If your talking about me that sounds very rude and insulting so take your own damn advice about wrecking this forum. Just because some one never met Jimi does not mean they know nothing, You still have never proved you met him or talked to his roadies or touched his gear either. Im not trying to wreck this forum i am trying to make sure the truth be told using proof which is very importatnt considering the subject matter. You and your buddy Xplorer have taken it over and are ruining it with no proof of any thing. WHY DONT YOU PROVE YOU EVER MET JIMI OR TOUCHED HIS GEAR. Oh thats why you cant.

Maybe your the one who needs to be banned here for all the personal insults at me and any one who disagrees with you and your unsubstantiated lies

Your entire post is personally insulting so maybe you should be banned A-Hole

of course they will. they're the first to play the victims but they'll also be the first to insult and be aggressive with the pretext that some proof have to be displayed, but "no proof available" doesn't mean no talk allowed. You provided more than enough to make the link between jimi, west coast and you.
this is just pure harassement with a desparate need for attention but as we say here in France : "Les chiens aboient, la caravane passe "... "the dogs bark, but the caravan goes on anyway".

they're just attached to a global myth made of very few infos, and can't even read properly for example when they imply you said "jimi started using marshalls in 1969", which is simply not true and not what you said :

He didn't switch over to an all Marshall line up until Marshall agreed to sponsor him in 1969, and even then he carried lots of the old stuff around with him.

.... which clearly means ... that even though he used some Marshalls before 1969, he didn't use Marshalls exclusively until he was sponsored, but even then he still used some other amps .....
Most peoples know that jimi bought four 45/100 that he paid in 1966, not asking for endorsement but for some tech support for the tours, which happily surprised jim Marshall who first imagined :"oh no, one more who wants marshalls for free ...". but only later he was endorsed by Marshall.
or another example when they claimed you said Catmother was jimi's other band, while you never said that.
well .... it tells a lot about these folks...........

just go on, you perfectly have the right to tell your story here, and this is everyone's forum of course, not a battlefield.

[Tone seaker]

Read what your bud Dave posted he said Jimi did not use Marshalls till 69 and the cat band was Jimi's band. And you dont see any thing wrong with him personaly insulting some one who disagrees with him Now you all are trying to back track. Again anything Hendrix about his tone being different from what has always been taught needs evidence. How many times do i need to say that. If you notice its only you Xplore that believes this hook line and sinker Why are you so heavy to defend Dave to the ninth are you and him one in the same maybe

Hey asshole, I'm more than a poster collector. You, on the other hand are a liar. A guy crawling out from under a rock, 45 years after the fact, feeding total bullshit to mindless lemmings. Filed fret, by ass. Keep it up. I'll expose you some more on the Experience Hendrix Facebook Page, you liar. Getting banned from this POS forum means nothing

[Tek465b]

This get annoying.. personnal attack.

Ill be back in a few more days, hopefully this shitchat is over.

[daveweyer]

I know what you mean, it's hard to get past it. Some of us have a little more creative things to do.

Yes Dave stop the personal insults please

Yes, like lying on a forum

[Blackburn]

Here's a vid of Cat Mother visibly playing Guild amps and probably the Quantum amp in question. Maybe someone can ask Charlie Chin or Michael Equine two of the remaining original members about their equipment. Or better yet ask James ' Tappy' Wright. He's been used to authenticate Jimi's gear, even item's that weren't Marshall. But I'm sure some of you would have a problem with that because he's gone on record as saying that Jimi was murdered by his manager Michael Jeffrey , and theirs just no way that could have happened!

[daveweyer]

Thanks Blackburn, it helps to clarify things. Did James Wright have a brother named John who also worked as a roadie for Jimi, or did I just have a brain fart about his name? I've always been terrible with names, especially folks whom I never got to know personally. That's the guy who brought Jimi''s Strat into West Coast that had the neck broken off. He was there for a number of deliveries, and I seem to remember a couple of other roadies who were taking orders from him, doing the grunt work.

[Blackburn]

Dave , I don't know but I'm sure you could find out. I do know that Tappy claims to have been there from the beginning. From the first flight to England with Jimi in 1966 through to the Cry of Love tour in 1970 , incidentally with Cat Mother playing the second to last show in Berlin on September 4, 1970 .
