From another SGF thread:

Quote:
Don told me he bought a 1948 Fender Pro Amp ("TV" version, with 15" Jensen) when he moved to Nashville to join Hank Williams in 1949. He said he used that amp for all his recordings and performances from that time on, until it was stolen in the early 1960's when he was playing with the Wilburn Brothers. He really would like to have that amp back.


If you also want to look the part, some kind of tweed amp would be right.

Can you mic it thru a 2nd amp you already own and cover that up with a piece of period appropriate fabric? I've used fabric to disguise a modern x brace keyboard stand I used for a lap steel.

Finally played a Hank gig with the Peavey Delta Blues 115. It really sounded great.Tuned out the room we played was fairly small so I was a little self conscious bringing such a big amp, but that went away as we got playing.
