It is a 68 or 69, in researching I have on google search of Guild Thunderbass Hendrix found mention of the Guild cabinets and located David weyer one of Jimis amp techs.and he is working on it in Billings, Montana. WE Used and Abused {Hard Rock and Punk} the amp for nearly 20 years before it started making noise. Memory of and proof are two different things...In this case a picture would be worth more than a thousand words...maybe there is a picture of a stack of them at Woodstock being used as Monitor amps Or reinforcement...or someohe who worked for Guild or a music store.I do not have hi-speed net so searching images on dial up is slow.
Yeah, the filter caps are supposed to be changed every ten years are so. Oddly enough, in amps that are frequently used, the caps last longer. As far as proof goes, memory is a lot of what we have to go on.
A quick search reveals this pic of Hendrix with a crapload of Guild Quantum Bass cabinets. I would like that a Guild head might be in the mix during this period.
What makes finding photos with a clear shot of the bass rig difficult is, well, we're talking Hendrix here.
Nobody was interested in taking pictures of the band when Hendrix was playing from another world. I'd love to be able to say that it was part of BOG's gear, but it's probably going to take combing through a ton of pictures, just to get a glimpse of one. Fortunately, Guild heads are very different from Fender and Marshalls, so it should show up in backline photos.
I'll check around later, the turkey and pie are almost done.
