My 60s Slim Jim

'Artistic’ view of my Guild Slim Jim in the late 60s.

My Marshall 100w head & 8x10 cabinet behind. What you can't see are a Carlsboro 100w head + 2 4x12 PA columns I was plugged into as well, through a split lead.

I still have tinnitus today

How did you prevent feedback with the T-100 and those massive amps?

It wasn’t too bad. I used feedback, rather than trying to avoid or stop it. Never use pedals, so went straight into amps and used volume controls on guitar

It was mainly the Marshall I had to worry about as I placed the column speakers either side of the stage area, in front of me.

For a time, I tried putting some foam and rags through the f-holes, but they only made a slight difference, so took them out

That’s a very cool photo treatment!

I'm too old, so stick to one these days. Mind I do use the 36w head with 2 1x12 cabs, shown on the left. My elderly brain thinks it's just as loud as the 60s
