Other Equipment

Late 90s Gibson Thunderbird, late 70s Gibson Ripper and Ampeg amp/cabs

FlyGuitars What kind of set up do you use live?

JMJ SVP-CL preamps, SVT-1600 and QSC PowerAmps, two Ampeg 8x10 cabs,

FlyGuitars Any Effects?

JMJ Piles and piles of them. I have three custom boards - two for the studio and one for live.

FlyGuitars And in the studio?

JMJ Basses and effects going into a B-15 or an SVT. Along with that is an amazing Divided By 13 bass rig I use as well, 200 watt, all tube with a 4 x 12 cabinet fitted with Celestions. Face melting.

Two of Justins Ampeg B-15s. Left a 1969, right a 1974. - "they're as important to me as a great bass"

FlyGuitars One classic Gibson bass you don't use is an EB2, but you regularly use other hollow-bodies, like the Guild Starfire. What do you like about the Starfire over the EB2?

JMJ Starfires are balanced sounding and have room for more "finesse" playing, I feel. EB2's are too heavy in the low end for me in terms of what I use the Starfires for, though I should probably own one. The Starfire has become my sound on a lot of records, most notably on Sea Change..."Paper Tiger", "End of the Day", "Lonesome Tears", songs like that....that bass sound is Starfire >> Ampeg B-15R >> Neumann FET 47, no DI.

The sound of these B15 combos is on just about every Motown and Soul record recorded during the 60s and 70s and have continued to be the choice of MANY artists across all genres to this day. I own quite a few of them currently and can't get enough. I gig with most of them regularly.

Milford, New Jersey, 088**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I don't really want to see this one go but here's a good looking a recently serviced Ampeg SB-12 Portaflex Fliptop. I LOOOVE the fliptop amplifiers.

While being even more portable! 25 watts via 2x6L6GC power tubes, A pair of 12AX7s and a 5AR4 rectifier. This... more

Milford, New Jersey, 088**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$1500

Here's a VERY rare opportunity to own a B-15S 15" extension cabinet. Most of the time you see cabinets that were stripped of the amplifier. This was manufactured as an extension cabinet. This is not an orphan cabinet from a complete amplifier. You can see its fitted with the original cups on top that the steel feet would sit in rather than having the shock mounts for the amp chassis. The cabinet is in original cosmetic condition however I am doubting the speaker is original. Its not very ... more
