ianrendall Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 In the Quicksilver Mail in my hometown of Yeovil watching the Mutter Slater Band. Absolutely brilliant! The bass player is playing a left handed Jazz upside down through an Ampeg full valve half stack. Incredible sound. Anyone else heard of them? Mutter himself was in Stackridge until a few years ago.

Mickeyboro Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Yes, he and his former band - recently defunct - are so underrated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Grew up listening to Stackridge as my elder brother & sister were big fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivansc Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Billy Bent/Sparkle the drummer was a pal back in the day. Excellent band. I still hum Percy the Penguin to myself on occasion. Had no Idea Mutter was still doing anything. Billy ended up as George Martin`s gardener at one stage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrendall Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 It was a fantastic gig. Less than 20 in the pub but he still revelled in it. Awesome Hammond player and my first experience of an all-valve Ampeg! The warmth, oh the depth and the warmth and the grunt and the....heft!

ivansc Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Odd - I am the exact opposite. Never played through an Ampeg that wasn't all valve. But I am VERY old of course.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrendall Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) I should clarify - I've never played through an all valve amp. The bass player at the gig had an all-valve rig (that just happened to be Ampeg) and this was the first time ever I'd knowingly heard an all-valve setup live. I don't get out to see live stuff often as you can tell! It was splendid. Edited November 29, 2016 by ianrendall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrendall Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 They played again tonight. Same venue. No bass at all. But they did have a second guitarist and a saxophone, so that’s ok then. 😡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
