This is my new Gretsch Billy-Bo. I ordered it back in March and got it about a week ago then it was off to the pinstriper (Brian Papa, Papa Studios, www.papastudios.com). We decided to call it the Tiki-Bo.

I don't know if I'll get another Gretsch, this one does everything I want it to do. It sounds awesome! Here's a picture of one of the amps I make. I call it the Metroliner. It's 2xel84 class "A" with a tube rectifier and a Celestion Blue. Larry Rodgers makes my cabinets.

That amp looks cool Tex!!!. Do you get a "Bluesbreaker" type tone with it cranked or is closer to Brian May's tone cranked?

Tex

12-15-2005, 11:22 PM

Hey! Thanks for the kind words. I'd say it's more of a bluesbreaker tone. It's pretty smooth and all the notes ring clear but not quite a Brian May tone.

Personally I do not care for the Gretsch look.

But whatever floats yer boat.

I will say those are some nice looking axes.

Oh and the amp too!
