Tom mostly used his '65 Super Reverb w/15"JBL; he did have a rare ZB custom Amp he played with Ricky(pictured).
He always loved the sound of Fender Tube amp.
Used with Ricky Nelson>
I know these things because Tom was my neighbor(Austin,Tx) back in 1981 and he was my first Teacher. I still talk to Mom Brumley(Rolene) and she still comes to a gig of mine when she can.

| Tom used Fender amps at his shows in Branson Mo, at least the ones I attended. And most other shows I seen him at were Fender amps. He had a great touch and marvelous tone. I envy Ricky as a neighbor of Tom. What a great guy to borrow licks from. Of course Ricky has become a killer player as well. Was it the water? |

| Tom played a tweed amp at St. Louis one year. I thought I remembered it being a Bassman, but I could be wrong. |

Thanks Larry.
Yes Jerry; Tom had a killer Bassman Amp he loved; that's what he played through on our lessons and I believe he always had that amp as he only said to me that Fender fixed it up for him a long time ago; so he'll keep it forever.

The ZB amp was made by Standel.

| I saw Buck Owens in concert in 1967 in Manhattan and Buck, Don, and Tom each had a Fender Twin Reverb. Volume to spare (I had a seat in the back of the theater) with no trace of distortion from any of them. Amazing sound. |
