That's not Terri, who platyed keys, I believe it's one of his nieces. She was just futzing around, that pic was from sound check, she didn't play drums for the set. Since Bo lived in a small town outside Gainesville, I get the impression that his extended family showed up at every local show.

One of his nephews worked at the car place where I used to have work done.

So basically what you're saying is that Bo Diddley, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, who played professionally for a half century and helped invent rock and roll, was a "noob?"

I used to be a tube purist until I go my Ampeg VH-140C.

That amp slays half of the "high end" tube amps I've played and owned. The cleans are amazing and the distortion is huge.

[MrSandMan]

I'm considering buying another Peavey Transtube EFX. Great amps.

Matrix, have any clips of the Ampeg VH-140C?

[MatrixClaw]

Yeah I have quite a few up in my UG profile.

Profile.ultimate-guitar.com/MatrixClaw is it I believe.

Oh yeah, the Ampeg is amazing, I really like the new mic / Ampeg test and the Clean channel. The cleans are simply amazing. What year was it built?

(I found it via google as you replied to this thread)

I honestly have no idea when it was built. The amp sounds great though, I'm currently trying to trade it and one (or both) of my 2x12 cabs for a decent combo though. My gear is taking up wayyyy too much room in my house and a little 1x12 combo would be good to have for band practices so I don't have to bring a head and cab or plug into our PA, plus it would actually fit in my car instead of having to use the bassist's car
