Sorry about the shaky, grainy video quality in this one. I was using a Go-Pro type action cam knockoff that just wasn't great and had no manual focus. Future videos like this will be better quality.
on the peavy series ment left and right channel another way of saying mono nucleus osis flipady dosis or stereo love the show even wen we disagree cause i see your side good for learning im going back to school at 42 forest gump was a 72 its a little different but my memory rated in at a compr mood and comprehension level of 42 and im dyslexic so took me 4 hours to write this just kidding but i am back in school your show is what i watch to calm down
27:38 that Fender is my dream guitar. 😍
15:46 Oh my LORD you've found my old GBX AMP!!!! That is a very unique (these days) guitar amp made in Canada. I believe "Gar" (as we called him back then) of Garnet from and of Garnet amps and equipment out of Winnipeg was involved with GBX when it first started in the late 1960's then he broke off and made the Garnet lines of gear. The amp you are looking at isn't complete. You can see the Velcro strips on top (Just like mine had) which were put there to hold the pre amp control unit that sat on top of it originally. The Control until had raised sides just like the speaker/Amp bottom has but was non powered and had simple controls of volume, Bass maybe Middle and Treble and if remember right (which I might not LOL) it had Tremolo controls too but I could be mixing that up with something else. It had a blue Metal face on it like the blue metal plate on the back of the AMP/Speaker. I got the GBX when I was just 13 years old (I'm 53 now) so in 1979. I went to the local music store in where I lived, Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada trying to get an amp big enough to play with a set of drums as I only had a little SEARS practice amp with a 10" speaker. I also had a Yamaha Trombone and case and I wanted to trade the Trombone for an amp. The owner had a soft spot for us local kids trying to make a band (I almost lived in his store as a youth if I could have I would have LOL) so he showed me the big old amp and I was in love!! The speakers had Metal centers in the cones with a little screened over 1/2 inch hole in the CENTER of them. The amp had no over drive or distortion but once I turned it up past half way it was like heaven descended down to earth. That creamy overdrive sound is something I;m still chasing to this day. Or maybe I was just young and thought it was that great of a sound as it was so loud and I would have loved any distorted type sound at the time LOL. I'd just LOVE to hear the amp one more time to see if it really was as great as I remembered. I ended up trading it off for something else and now I believe it may just be the very bottom you see here in this video. No way of actually knowing. But those Velcro strips tell me it just might be. Thanks for the great videos! I'm subbed and binge watching LOL.
When I worked in a bike shop in the eighties, my boss had us take all bikes and put them in first gear at the end of the day. I asked him why once and he said I want the customer to feel that this bike is effortless to ride and give them a great feeling when they take off. I often thought, guitar shops should go through and tune guitars in the down time....40 per cent of the riffing folks in this video were out of tune and then probably would pass on a perfectly good guitar cause it didn't sound right. Loved this video and I could watch it without buying anything. I picked up a weird guitar last week a silver creek T170 and now I am 200 less in my account....but a great big smile on my face every time I play it
He's that dude in the guitar store that spends 8 hours with an employee, goes through literally everything in the store and then walks out after not buying anything.
Not true. Most likely with a brand new guitar pick or even two.
@@Phoenix_cataclysm_in_2040 Unless they're on for three for a buck. Then just one. LOL.
🙋🏼♂️ that they stole!
Me!😅
What are you rambling about?
This video has nothing to do with YOU. Go back to sleep.
Sounds like a Shaggs cover band is playing the entire time.
I had to make a comment about all these people playing in the background and getting louder and louder as the video progresses. Everybody wants to be famous lol
The background music from hell.
What no stairway to freebird ?
@@mdwightj They were so out of tune it might have been!
the banjo guy played pretty good even though it may have been out tune a little @@garyhundsrucker7771
Especially at 27:22
no doubt. big box music stores are sonic hell. I last about 5 minutes before i’m ready to throat punch someone.
Simply one of the best and most well rounded guitar channels on YT! Thanks for all you do. Much appreciated.
Oh man everyone in the store sounded out of tune LOL 😂
Great Video.
I've worked in a couple of music stores over the years and I don't think I've ever heard ths much out of tune playing, even on with a store full of 12 year olds on a Saturday afternoon banging out Metallica riffs. Keeps reminding of the Spinal Tap scene at Elvis' grave when they're all trying to harmonize and one of them says, "Same key, I think, would be good...".
Denmark St in London used to be like that but a combination of young managers who can't cope in hostile financial climbates, high shop and flat rents in London plus eBay means the days of weird and wonderful smelly old guitar shops full of weird gear on patches of carpet held together with duct tape and nicotine are loooong gone.
I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for taking me along for the ride.
Loved it. When you really liked something you lowered your voice like it was a secret
Can't let anyone hear about the deals, man. Always talk shit about the stuff you want, or be quiet!
Your lucky you have places like this to still check out used gear. I used to go around the pawn shops around my area just to see what's new but they have more or less started to use the Internet to sell music gear quicker and usually for a larger mark up than what they could get local.
I could watch this type video all day...thank you
In the 70s, a friend had a GBX 2x12 combo. It was a beast. Heavy and loud. My first amp was a used EMC G110. Thanks for taking us shopping.
GBX, now there's a guitar amp I haven't seen in over 20 years. I fixed a power amp once (output transistor was blown). A friend had the head (missing in the vintage store), which is basically a pre-amp, has two 1/4" inputs in parallel, a FET front end, volume, bass, mid, treble and presence with 4 1/4" outputs on the back. Four outputs, one to each powered cabinet or two stacks. Cabinets are loaded with 4x10" speakers. GXB is the loudest amplifier I've ever heard ( with 16 x 10" speakers) and with high output humbuckers, the head only needs to set at around "2" to be blazing.
That Hagstrom Viking is RIGHT up my alley!. Oh man!
I think they had $1200 on it. It was nice.
When I used to live in Illinois back in the 80's there was a music shop in the city of Marion and the owners last name was Byassee. He was an eccentric old dude and when you entered into his shop ( which was HUGE !!! ) you never knew what you might find. You just had to dig around in his madness of gear that was stored here, there, and everywhere. Walk into his shop as a stranger, you'd be paying top dollar for gear. Take the time to talk the talk and become friends though, you could walk out of his shop paying dimes for great gear. Again, eccentric … Sadly, he passed away many years ago. I really liked that cat.
Is he still there? I wonder if he's the same guy I'm thinking of... this guy operated out of an antique store. Had some of the most incredible old stuff.
That's the guy and that's the place !!! Apparently, after he passed away, a son continued to run the business up until 2016. It's now under new ownership but still carries the Byassee name " Byassee Music & Sound ". Cool story … After the original release of the Digitech RP-5 signal processor, I found out he had a brand new one still in the box with the processor itself still wrapped in shrinkwrap. He agreed to let me make payments on it and one day out of the blue he called me on the phone to ask if I could make the trip down to his shop to make my final payment of $35 dollars. I thought it was rather odd that he called me, but I told him " Sure, I'll be down this weekend ". Once I got there and we had a chance to chat for a while he asked me " When is your birthday ". Told him in about 6 weeks after which he immediately reached under the table he was sitting at, produced my RP-5, handed it to me, and said " Happy birthday. Don't worry about that 35 bucks ". Old dude had tricked me. He knew what he was up to. lol
Oh, I forgot to mention that I had heard the rumor more than once that he supposedly had ties to the Mafia. I didn't care. All I knew was that I liked the guy and that's all that mattered to me.
The GBX cab dates from around 1970. There was a solid state "driver" which sat on top and provided bass, treble, volume control etc. You can see on the top of the cab where it would have sat. These cabs could be linked together to get a "stack" or wall of speakers. They were the first self powered cabs that I had ever seen. The rhythm guitar player in one of my first bands had one, a 4X12.. Odd that a GBX would end up in KY. That Traynor head, is also Canadian from the 1960's, great rugged amps which many younger players rediscovered in the 1990's.
Love the Farfisa. Ray Manzerek used a bunch of organs but he's more well known for Vox organs
He only used the Vox for a bit and actually went to Gibson Organs
That Traynor BM is worth every bit of $499. I own one with its matching sealed 4x10. Killer. Killer. Killer.
Yes it is.
Who else loves the smell of a music store ?
The olfactory test is an important one. If it smells like a Chinese factory, I'm not interested.
Its like wood, lacquer and new car smell mixed together.
Randy collins
smell like old guitars, smelly sheet music, and burnt tubes
Guitar stores and old bookstores. Nothing turns my brain on like the smell of a new guitar case liner and old book binding.
I have a box with some vintage probes, test leads, and wiring that I love to take a sniff of every now and then. I wonder if that is what Heaven smells like? I'm gonna take a sniff right now...
I thoroughly enjoyed this vid. This place is better than some guitar shows I've been to.
That Music Go Round is huge with a bunch of treasures! The couple I have seen in NM and CO are much smaller. Pretty cool place!
I would give my life for Pink Guitar Guy
When I was teenager ’78-'80? I bought a guitar for $50, it had a butterfly on the headstock, but it had built in effects, fuzz, tremolo, reverb, echo, wah(phase?)each one had a simple black slide switch. I want to say it was semi-hollowbody, as the row of switches covered the bottom f hole, but it may have been Les Paul copy Neck needed adjusting and my friend who was supposed to adjust the truss rod never returned it. You can Google "butterfly guitar with built in effects and a picture of one appears. The effects kinda worked.
29:29 I hope someone buy that, goes big, and that guitar becomes iconic, and you see a bunch of interviews where the player's talking about it and they're just like "this apparently belonged to Steve, at some point".
CurtisAlfeld I could definitely see that being some big artists guitar. Very beautiful guitar
Ooooooo... I missed this vid when it first posted and just found it. I love these, "hunting for old/odd gear" vids. Christmas is a day early.
I basically live at my local Music Go Round... several people I have been in bands with over the years work at my local store. It's like a reunion every time I walk in the joint.
Oh I dream of something like that in London UK...would be nice to know the prices So I can cry more
Got my first guitar at a music go round after 2 years of begging, they knew they had to do it to shut me up.
Walked out with a old Harmony a, a giant bass amp and a Grunge pedal.
I was in heaven. I forget the bass amp, but it was an old one he said would also work with guitar, just not quite as well, but for me it was perfect.I was playing bits of Iron Man and Smoke On The Water that night. Man, thanks for triggering great memories.
Great browsing, Brad. It felt like I was there, for a min or two. 👍
Music Go Round is an awesome place. I used to go to one in Davenport, Iowa. So much better than Guitar Center.
Holy shit I own that same Ampeg Reverberocket. You dont see those every day. It’s a ‘59 I believe. It was my dads, that thing is fucking magical.
12:28 - I have the same Crate amp. It's incredible, versatile and soooo fiercely loud. I wanted a US-made all-tube amp, and also got a steal of a deal on one used. Recommended.
@47:14 People are going to think that we drive backwards when we leave to go home. HA! I've bought & sold a few things from that location, but, I've seen gear in there that would make you think, DUDE! Do you guys HAVE TO BUY EVERYTHING that walks in the door ??
Great video and I had a great time coming along on this visit to a really awesome music store with you and TJ. When are we going again?
I really enjoyed that!!!! This place has some great stuff!!! I loved the MATSUMOKU Made in Japan guitars and basses. Westone and Aria Pro II was distributed by St Louis Music and made by MATSUMOKU
This was the best 47min all day every day❤️
My son has a 24 year old Johnson JM-60 Marquis. it's his favorite amp! It has tons of effects and amp sims.
The Crate Vintage Clubs are sleepers for sure. The only IC is in the reverb circuit. The 30 watt 1 x 12 combo is all class A. And they're tough as hell.
I thought the verb might have an IC driver.
Ran into this upload again 3 years later and had the same thought again...which is...Just love that store...nothing like it here in The Netherlands
By accident I watched Antiques Roadshow US S23E12 at Philbrook Museum Tulsa OK and at about 12 mins in, they featured a 1964 Gibson ES 335. A guy traded a 1939 Chevvy worth $600-$800 in 1971 for it - today $12,000 to $12,500
I went to a roadshow once. Didn't make it on TV.
35:45 in my country we call it "Charango" and the back of the charango is made of the shield of an armadillo
Kirby Roy ok, that’s actually sick
I've bought lots of gear from COLUMBUS,OH MUSIC-GO-ROUND. Best deals are always the old 19" rack stuff. Mixers are dirt cheap...some are once high end recording boards. I bought a mint Gibson Hummingbird from there 20 years ago for $299! I'm not a Hummingbird fan, but hey for that price I got twice that out of it.
Should have been more like $1500 for the Hummingbird.
Thank you Very Much for the musical adventure , felt like I was there , very informative , you know your stuff!
Thanks for coming along, Thomas.
I think that Super Festival is what the bass player from DFA 1979 uses. Really hard to find.
That Gretsch is a Super Axe. It was designed and endorsed by Chet Atkins. Awesome find!!
That old black guy playing that pink guitar was the greatest thing ever.
I saved a lot of money shopping with you today! Thank you for the trip!😉
My dad had two of the GBX cabs. 4x10 powered cab. it had a matching preamp that went with it. Bass rig!
Love the telecaster custom !!
Yeah, nice color too. $3k seems expensive until your realize these model Teles had their first incarnation in the 70s and they are still reissuing them. I have 4 or 5 of these 70s Teles once and sold them all for a nice round sum.
Wow! Such great selection - At our local used instrument shops here in the Atlanta area, all I ever see are cheap, second-rate amps and guitars. Y’all must get the good vintage stuff first and then the leftovers come down here!
I absolutely LOVE dusty ol pawn junk! As a guitarist and music guru for 40 yrs I always hit the small shops looking for something that speaks to me. In 2003 I stopped in a shop in southern Missouri and bought a hand made partscaster for 150 bucks. The guy about shyt when I gave him 500 for it he even asked me if I was drunk lol. As soon as I got home I pulled the neck off, tossed a homemade ugly body and garbage electronics in the trash bin, looked at the maple stratocaster neck which still had a round string tree, extremely rolled edges and just the proper patina. I shut my eyes as I pulled the neck’s butt end up and gazed, sure enough in faint pencil were the initials and date reading “T.G. 1954”. That’s a score! I refretted it and put it on my EJ Virginia stratocaster.
I had a friend/previous co-worker that owned a Music-Go-Round store - he'd let me know if any 'good' stuff came in the door for sale. Sadly it didn't work for him after a few years of trying but was nice to get my hands a few good things!
I love these videos Brad! Also cool to find some old Traynor amps! I have a 70’s Studio mate which is the same as the Guitar Mate with 4x8” speakers instead of a single 12”
I'm a hue Traynor fan. They are in the top 3 best made vintage amps for me.
The Guitologist it’s too bad that they have moved more into building PA gear for Yorkville and have kind of abandoned their amp lines or at least any innovation in their amps. Their old amps are all reasonably priced compared to most
hey Brad, I enjoyed your video, you should have bought the Goya, it sounded excellent
I grew up using those traynors that you like. they were all over the place here in Toronto, at the time
Peter Traynor was the amp tech in my local music store when he first started building them. I used to go in and say hello to him all the time!!
Ive played 23 years but love to repair and fix up stuff . I have a 1958 harmony Stratotone that is so well made I was able to save it despite it being in pretty bad shape and even save the incredible DeArmond gold foil single coil pickup. Pickguard was damaged so I made my own from mahogany veneer. The ridiculous 5 way selector switch for the single neck pickup was knackered horribly but the pickup itself is excellent. I loved it so much I took it out and put in diff project. Overall very minimal modifications and now it's one of my favorite guitars. Such a bizarre specimen. Odd short scale length, 20 frets only, guitar neck is same width from tip to bottom which I've never seen ever on any other guitar. It's so odd feeling and makes bending weird and claustrophobic. Of course ..it has an adjustable but WOODEN bridge so I only don't feel comfortable doing huge bends even with ultra lite 8/38s on it. Wonderful guitar tho. Old as hell, sat in my uncle barn for decades and somehow it's binding is all intact, neck is perfect, plays perfect, great intonation and bonkers crazy low action with no buzz which is pretty much unheard of from such an old guitar. At least from what I've seen. It looks like a Les Paul...sort of but it's semi hollow but has no sound holes. Was originally red burst but has faded to amber as well as the fretboard block inlays also faded to amber. It's wonderful guitar and I love it.
That Hawaiian resonator. A shop i visit in Sarasota fl on vacation, has a non resonator version with the paper on the fret board. The paper makes them more valuable. His has been for sale on the wall 2500$ for years.
I love music go round. Its great cuz theres only Guitar Centers around me besides it.
I have a Music Go Round near me but it's not a quarter of the size of that place. It's packed to the ceiling and like walking through and electronic cave. That place was huge! So many cool things to check out.
It's pretty well organized right now. They've worked hard on it, I can tell.
I liked the way good guitar players were pretending not to play.
😃
I grew up right around the corner from that Music Go Round. My dad and I used to go in there and just sort through the weird stuff but there would occasionally have some awesome stuff like my Gretsch 6120 that my dad got me for my 16th birthday. So many awesome memories there.
Cool 21:12 the Marshall 5010 master lead combo . I had one new and only sold it a few years ago to a buddy ... at least I get to play it when I go over there . I like these videos as well Brad
That crate is the shit. I bought one as an emergency replacement and ended up gigging it for 15 years. Needs repaired now.
I was just thinking how cool it was
I'd drop the $200 $250 what ever it was
@@cyb3r3vil30 it's well worth it. I ended up buying a second one to keep in the rehearsal space. I spent 150 on the second and 215 on the first one. They are both out of commission at the moment, but gigging and playing them everyday for over 15 years without a single problem was the best thing. They have great tone and get LOUD as well if u want it to. I played Christian rock, blues, classics, metal, country through those things, they worked well for everything. And being used and never worked on before I got them, over 15 years of solid durability was very satisfying.
WAY underrated amps!
@@TheGuitologist checked there site out can't believe the price's
I'm in Texas and that stuff is double here I bookmarked if they ship I'm in heaven thanks for sharing
I miss Music go Round. We used to have one around here. It’s actually where I bought my first Ibanez RG550.
Ha Ha I was just gonna say Scott Grove alert at that Johnson amp!
I know I was thinking it before Brad said it too...lol
I love music go round, every time I run across one I stop. Always some goodies to be found. The one in Louisville is about 1hr 30min away, but it's always been worth the drive. Never know who or what you'll see there.
I love the backing soundtrack. I want shops like that in every city on Earth.
Shaky camera was giving me a headache, then again it could of been the guitars in the background.
Also that solid state Marshall Master Lead 1x12 combo. Great amps. They're just Marshalls with output transistors instead of tubes.
yeah! i have one just like the one at 21:00, it is a great sounding amp for home use, takes pedals well. i don't use the preamp drive too often but it does a very decent JCM800 impression
I picked up a 65 Gibson scout 15 for a couple hundred dollars a few years ago it had spring reverb and tremolo
I saw that blonde tolex oxblood grille cloth Fender Twin reverb. I converted a silverface Twin 20+ years ago to blackface specs and it had a brown panel with the cream knobs. My buddy did the electronics and had a relay channel switching, kind of the amp that never was. Wish I had never sold it.
The most vintage thing in the video is those sideburns!
A gTar! I won one of those in a contest. It works with an older iPhone or as a midi. It lights up to teach you songs and you can play along and stuff like that.
As a big matsumoku fan, I've got to say: Ohhh boy that Domino was sweet! Also that Hagström, They're f-ing expensive and rare even here in Sweden now.
Edit: And that Gretsch SuperAxe! God I love those guitars, Unfortunatelly had to pass one up just recently.
I bet it's hard to find stuff in Sweden, am I right?
The guitologist, you are somewhat right. Thou it seems we have a decent amount of Burnys and similar brands from around the lawsuit era. However eBay is still the easiest way to find something fun
The best thing about this video people in the store interested in music
at 35:50 that looks like a charango if I'm not mistaken. Awesome walk through too . Miss stores like these.
On second thought, I think you're correct.
I was just thinking the same thing
Thank you for taking me browsing. I totally enjoyed our trip.
I've got one of those 50 watt Crate Vintage Club amps, but with one 15 inch speaker. It's can be a good amp with a good master volume channel. The clean channel will start to break up easily as you increase volume. The problem with them is you have to baby them, they will burn out EL84s in a couple of years with only moderate use, and I've had to have it recapped once. The best thing you can do is run as powerful fan as you can find into the back of it. A tech told me that because the chassis is mounted on the back board the tubes are sideways and the filaments inside will sag as they heat up. I wouldn't take it on the road without a backup. You need to have the footswitch connected because the tiny push-button channel switch on the control panel is unreliable. I got mine new in the 90's but as you can see there is not much point in selling it if the resale value is so low.
I'd love to have that Crate Vintage Club amp with the 3 10's. Great little combo amps.
I really like your channel. I am from Louisville and music go round is a fun place to visit
The Johnson's had full effects built in. Definitely not made like that, because they were a DigiTech/Harman company. :)
I knew they were full of digital effects, but yeah, being a Digitech product, makes no sense to have the Boss module. :P
I always snap up those Crates around here. A friend of mine designed them here in St Louis. He used to come over and raid my latest finds of vintage stuff I would score. Lol.
Ray Manzarek ABSOLUTELY played a Farfisa! Good call. Nice price!
So funny... every time I go in there I see stuff that reminds me of your channel, and now I’m actually watching you talk about stuff that I’ve been walking by wondering what you would have to say about it. Will (the amp tech there) is such a nice guy, and is always willing to take time to answer my questions about my amp. I go in there at least once a month... why don’t I ever have any money? 🤔
I need to go make Will's acquaintance sometime.
LOL, that GBX cabinet was at my friends guitar shop in cincy for a while... I'd recognize the painters tape he used for everything, anywhere
I'm late to the show, just now getting into these 'guitar safari' videos. This one is excellent! Others I've seen are just showing the minutia of what they're looking for to flip. I prefer nerding out as much as possible. I don't care if you pull down a Daisy Rock just to comment on what someone could get for their kid, niece, or nephew.
BTW, nice pickin' on that nylon string, dude!
Loved it. I live up in the mtns.....don't get down too often. Made my Saturday morning.
That dude you're with is hiiiiiigh energy. He would make a kick ass roadie.
At 29:15 - That's the Rick Springfield guitar. At 43:49- Is that popcorn machine tubes? Hahahahha! If you're ever in Chicago, go visit Midwest Buy & Sell on Irving Park road. They have lots of weird stuff too.
Another great music shop, I live in over regulated, sterile ass California so we don't have anymore real music shops anymore. We had all kinds of places like that when I was a kid back in the 80's, in fact we had a Music go Round that was smaller than that one but still great. Now we have crappy ass Guitar Center, or get it online. At least I still have your videos to live vicariously through. That's one of the main reasons I started building my own guitars, there are no good music shops to find any hidden gems. Every once and a while I'll score on Craigslist but even thats rare these days, there are only so many line6 amps and Mexican Strats, Ibanez whatevers, or pointy guitars I can stomach.
I think the Midwest and South still have places like this. They're dying off though.
That PV road master was my first amp.. Used it for years on everything! That Leslie model eighteen was actually not powered. Usually, the only powered Leslie's start at the 25/125 level. The electronics and multiple plug you see in the back are actually for the rotors and the motors that spin them.... Though there was a Leslie model 60... But that was solid state with fixed speakers, And used a spatial expander... or some complex version of a phaser in stereo.
Store I worked in had the crate v series killer tube amp. I had the v 18 wish I had kept it.

I just scored a mint Toyota semi hollow with a very nice case for $280.... Had no internet to look it up, as I was in the mountains.
Glad I did.
They're really rare, and it plays like a dream.
Some interesting stuff . i recognise that diamond grill cloth on the GBX powered cab. Its old early 70s UK Carlsbro grill cloth .
Interesting. I was reading about them when I got home. It's gotta be 70s. I might go back for it.
@@TheGuitologist Definitely 70s if its anything to do with carlsbro and it could be by the style of the cab and the grill cloth. it may possibly have 50 watt fane speakers in it . (As in the same 38oz magnet fanes that are in Hiwatt cabs) killer speakers and rather sort after have also seen carlsbro cabs with greenbacks and blackbacks in too from that period. I would go and have a second look and take a screwdriver and pop the back panel off ;-)
Same idea I had.
@@TheGuitologist Let us know if you decide to go back and what you find will make an interesting vid
That background dirge, holy hell, I heard a banjo in there somewhere as well, ha! The big dude with the Daisy Rock!!! 😂 F'n Classic brother, loved this, keep em coming, cheers!
Love this vid! I'm sitting on the edge of my seat!! Great stuff
