I Got Me A New Toy.

[Tommy Shown]

I have recently been playing at a couple of venues, where space had been an issue. With five pieces and their gear, especially with a drummer it can be quite cramp. So I went on line to Guitar Center and started, looking at used amps, and I came across Nashville 400 that, was in excellent condition. They had it marked as Mk L Dlx. I pulled the photo up and found it was Nashville 400.

I bought the amp from store, located in Dayton, Oh. last Wednesday. I picked it up at the store in Baton Rouge, La. I learned that the amp has been modified with one of the tone mods.

The last couple of days I have played with it around the house to see, how good it sounded with the mods in
it. I tried it with just the reverb on the amp, no other effects, and I was BLOWN AWAY!

I used the amp on the gig tonight and my bandmates were in awe of how good the amp sounded, It really sounded clean. The highs were not thin and tinny sounding. I mean the tone was EVEN all across the neck. Jim Lindsey assisted me with the amp settings, that he has on one of his Nashville's, that he got from Gary Hogue.

It is refreshing to play steel and not have to worry about adding extra effects to help with the sound.

Yea, there is a Nashville 400 here in Columbus Ohio guitar center on Morse Rd, nice amp, it is for sale, but I found a yamaha amp I like, if I had not found it the Nashville 400 would have been my second choice.
