Yep, my headless horseman clip was my Rockstah Marshall, but you can see my other two amps in the background...my main amp, which is a vintage and stock 1965 blackface Fender Super Reverb that I've had for years (I used that along with my Bray Line-Out box for the reverb you hear in the clip) and the small combo that is tilted on an amp stand is my Sears 1482 amp which was not plugged in.
I've had both of those since before I started playing...they belonged to my uncle that passed away at a young age. I got his gear which also included my first and still my main guitar, a 1968 Olympic White maple neck Fender Strat, when he died and I started playing right then and there. I was 8 years old. Not a bad way to start out even considering the tragic circumstances.
My uncle was 23 when he died driving drunk and high. He smoked a joint with my Dad, drank several beers and listened to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Damn The Torpedoes which had just come out. Then he drove his chocolate brown 1977 turbo Pontiac Firebird into a large brick sign less than a mile from our house and he was gone.
I also got his incredible record collection...as you might expect he had all the classic guitar rock that existed...Trower, Hendrix, Allmans, Rory Gallagher, all the Zeppelin...everyone. And he was a very early adopter of Van Halen. He had
Van Halen and
Van Halen II which had also just come out.
Long story, but that's how I got started on this crazy road!
