Yes, sorry, that's what I meant, a few years ago I bought an Audiom 60 and had a Vox15w type cabinet built for it, I run it with my 15w channel of my Vox AC30 H2 50th Anniversary .

So the Audiom's were also in the Selectortones as well as the early Vox AC 15's.

I also left home when I was 16 as the band I was in moved to Blackpool, I went there with a Dominator amp, but changed to a Zodiac, which if I remember had screw in legs, that then went in for a Vox Supertwin, then in the 70‘s a Simms Watt and then the big stacks!

Only four months difference between that guitar and mine but in that time the wiring and switch have changed.

The later one in the picture has chamfers, mine has just a small radius around the edge.

Totally different Roger, it looks like my 3 4 5 are the same height, 6th slightly lower, the top E just risen and the B at -zero! I'll have to check the others.

You have to upload pictures to something like IMGBB and then copy the "BBCode Full" and paste it here.

Just some more observations, the temolo arm on my 64 has a smooth S shape with perfect curves, with the 2004/Legend the curves are not the same, more abrupt. My picture shows a replica arm which came with the guitar, it has a different shape and the black plastic handle is shorter, I don't know what make it is? Phil PS An interesting price on this one! www.premierguitars.com.au/product/vintage-original-burns-marvin-uk-1964/

I guess I'm aiming to achieve something like that Bossa Roo sound in a live setting, Phil. I have a 10 band graphic eq but the "woodiness" is the missing ingredient. You should be able to get somewhere near the nasal tone with your G.EQ's mids, but what's needed is the guitars timbre to start with, if you want to record your guitar with as close as possible amp setting, I can try to eq it and let you have the settings?

The neck pickup on my 2004 is closest probably but it doesn't have that woody, nasal sound that yours has. Not quite the same for live work, but have you tried eqing with your DAW to get that nasal sound, as it seems like the engineers at AR might have enhanced this and possibly the REDD desk had something to do with it.

Thanks Mick, I wish I had a modern Burns so I could do a comparison!

Hello Phil, I don’t think the 2 files posted above represent the mainstream sound found in Flingle Bunt, which is what I suspect a lot of people would be aiming for and which can almost be found with some single coils be ithey Fender, Burns or another. Cheers Mick Hi Mick, The two files I posted were practically dry, so that the sound of just the guitar could be heard, Flingel Bunt is in another ball park as Hank uses echo, also, the studio gets more involved, here's the same 64 Burns with FB and again, my BT.

I think the whole point of buying a Marvin would be to sound like the the original oldies, if it doesn't sound very similar then one there's no point in buying one?
Sorry but I can't help with pickup info.

What needs to be remembered is that practically all of Hanks guitar sounds will have had post eq etc, so the sound coming from his amp might not be 100% the same as what's on the records.

Roger, they were recorded many years ago with my AC30H2 and top boost channel, no echo and I think just a small amount of ambiance reverb, I can't remember which pickup I used but it sounds like the neck to me.

Hello Glen. Much as I like the Marvin guitars I find the tremolo arm is its weakness. I have always found that the Resotube tremolo connections from the arm itself to the plate that rocks is a bit, Heath Robinson. I would not be surprised if it was the constant need to re-adjust nuts to stop the arm swinging freely that put Hank off. However - do not let this put you off. One of our members- Peter Cooke - has the most simple solution that does not alter the guitar in any way - if you have the need. I tried it. it solves all and stabilizes the tremolo arm so it will stay firm and only move as required with the lightest touch. Cheers Mick I haven't had the swinging arm sindrome since I've owned my 1964 Marvin? Here's some pics if you want to compare the original to the modern version. Phil

Hi Charlie, of course you are right about the plate, what I meant to say was that he did experiment with the tremolo on recordings of certain songs, but it was mostly downward pushes as on "Little Wing", sorry for the confusion Phil

Jeff Becks guitar has a piece machined off the tremolo block so that it will lower with an extra note, Jimi Hendrix used a floating tremolo.

I have a late 60's / early 70's VOX Waa/volume pedal, also a very early Yamaha MR10 Drum Machine.

As well as amp volume, running a guitar track through an Altec 436c or RS124 as was the case in Studio 2, adds tube saturation, it's an easy case of raising the input signal which highers the compression ratio to get this, saturation/distortion happens when the gain reduction is more than -20db.
This seems to have been common practice with some of the early recordings.

George, everyone to their own thing, for me, copying the studio sounds of "all" instruments is a challenge, a bit of fun, it also teaches what techniques were used in those early days, apart from that there's no other reason, it's not for everyone as it takes a considerable amount of time and effort and can also be very frustrating!
Peter, the reason Hank never had a close sound to the recordings is because a lot went on in the studio and control room that is not easily replicated on stage, also practically every tune had it's own mix, which complicates things even further!

After many years of studying how things were done in Studio 2, .....a lot of Hanks overdriven (fat) sound on the original recordings, besides hitting the strings hard, amp distortion and tape saturation etc was caused with mic overspill, i.e. Hanks sound when picked up on other mics not only had a few mls delay but also had a different sound via studio ambiance, all this added together makes a difference but more noticeable on some songs that others.
