I have a similar amp. Mine is a 78ish Vibrosonic once owned by Dicky Overbey. Electronically, It's the same amp as your twin reverb with the exception of an 8ohm output transformer. The twin came with 2-12in speakers and the vibrosonic a single 15in speaker. The 135watt ultralinear circuit to me is ...

A lot of things can cause this. Bent legs for one. Roll the legs on a flat surface and see if they’re bent. Warped or distorted body will also cause this. Look down the front and rear apron of the guitar. A lot of times, a guitar will bow slightly downward in the middle of the body because of the st...

Hey Herb, In a conversation with Mike Cass, he had told me he once owned Rosie. Perhaps he misspoke or I misinterpreted what he was telling me? I had a particular interest in that guitar based off the fact that when I purchased my brown belly, Rosie was the only other brown flocked guitar I was awar...

Geoff,

Thanks so much for telling us about your guitar. Would it be possible for you to add some pics of the topside and undercarriage to this thread so we can all enjoy it? That will make the count officially 7 and that’s still very few.

Kind regards,
CS

Henry, interesting! As of present, I’m only aware of 6 Brown Flocked guitars that came from the factory. The one I own has factory original flocking as I confirmed it from the original owner. Do you recall if the guitars you reflocked were both bolt on’s? For anyone who cares, here’s is a current li...

Mike,

I’m looking for an original key head. Having owned 2 Show Pros, I know Jeff doesn’t like selling me parts unless he can install them.

Henry, I agree with you. Those pedals are spaced correctly, no issue there. Johnny Cox, the serial chart David posted isn’t totally correct. Invoice numbers I believe were used right up till about 67. There’s a very good chance this guitar was built in 67 but that really makes no difference, the 66&...

With 7 knee levers, this guitar is priced beyond fair. What a great deal on a beautiful bolt on!

Last I checked, Ricky didn’t have any.

I’m looking for a 70’s Sho~Bud Gumby Keyhead with or without rollers or tuning machines.

Please let me know if you have one you would part with. If this post is still up, I’m still looking for one

Sold please close it up.

It’s my opinion that the “Bolt On” is the quintessential push pull tone. They have a very special bell like clarity above the 12 fret. And growl like none other down low. You would be hard pressed to find an another bolt in this condition for such a great price. Whoever gets this, will be one happy ...

Hey John, Did you contact Bruce? He still has a decent stock of parts and could potentially sell you a new raise helper “spring kit” Otherwise, the hardware store may be the best option. I’m not sure it your vintage of Zum is similar to the more modern ones, but the adjustable plastics type clips th...

Ricky, I believed when I measured them, they were around 10k. Super sparkly sounding.

Good working condition. Came out of a 73 Pro~II SOLD

I have owned several twins and I haven’t found a 100% perfect substitute for one, but the Quilter Tone Block 202 set on the vintage voicing is the closest thing I’ve found to a twin in a lightweight application. The trick I’ve discovered is to run the Pre Gain and Limiter about 2/3rds-3/4ths of the ...

I’ll take it if still available. PM sent

Sure wish these were 15k. I’m looking for a set.

TTT looking for another one.
