Fresh off the boat and my 1st post...

Hey all. Looks like found THE place when it comes to amplification.

I'm not sure where to start but I'll be soaking in a lot of reading here for the 1st few weeks at least. Though I'm not an owner of a Marshall, (yet) I still appreciate the thick heavy tone that they give. Hopefully I can find a way to swing a kit into my budget after I get a feel for what I really want. I'll probably be researching what was used by Duane and Dickey from the Allman Brothers "Stormy Monday" track at the Fillmore. I love the way they play 12/8 blues...

Wellcome aboard. You have come to the right place at the right time... George is putting out a 50 watt kit very soon. Duane used a 50 watt, probably a 1986 bass model. Very easy to mod George

Thanks. Is there a place in the forum I can learn about the model and nomenclature to I.D. the amps? When you mentioned 1986 it reminded me of one of the many things I wanted to understand as it coincidentally appears at first to be more like a year the amp was released. The same goes for the 1987 & 1959 model. I know it is obviously not associated with an actual year of release, but it's a bit confusing to the untrained rookie.
