Or a Fender Twin?
« on: May 09, 2013, 10:46:27 pm »
In an interview of Bob Bogle by Willie Moseley that appeared in the May 1997 issue of Vintage Guitar Magazine, Bob didn’t mention either the Fender Vibrolux or Gibson GA40.  Instead, Bob said he used a Fender Twin (he and Don Wilson had been using a Fender Twin as their sole amp in the several months leading to the recording of WDR):

VG:  “I presume you played your Fender Jazzmaster on the original version of the Venture’ “Walk, Don’t Run.”  Can you tell me what kind of amplifier you used?”

BB:  “As far as I know, I bought what was probably the first Jazzmaster that hit Seattle.  I used a Fender Twin amp, with two twelves, on “Walk, Don’t Run.”  At that time, I also had a one-piece Fender Bassman amp that had four tens in it.  I gave that Jazzmaster to a friend of mine in Los Angeles; he still has it.”

This is of course inconsistent with Del Halterman's 2009 book and adds yet another possible amp to the mix.
