My Gear by farlow

I don't know why they have that stupid section for you to complete - Gear Recommendations - when even common items aren't listed. They don't list the Epiphone 335 but they have a case for it. Of all the Ibanez range they only stock a couple of microphone stands and some cable but no actual instruments.
I have:
Epiphone ES135 semi-hollow single cut-away
Ibanez AG95DBS (which I'm sure is a mistake. If I read the colour chart at the back of the Catalogue correctly, mine is Dark Violin Burst - DVS
Cort Larry Coryell model
Ashton Strat copy made in Korea (it must be old because they are all made in China now)
Samick Greg Bennett electro-acoustic. huge body, great volume for playing unplugged.
Early 1960's Farfisa 100W amp.(I won't say valve amp because in 1963, I think there were only valve amps.) This is a very playable amp although, sadly, it's now worth more to a collector than a player.Particularly here in Australia because, even though Farfisa was an Italian Company that specialised in making piano accordions and amps for them, there was a small offshoot of Farfisa production in Australia. Mine says Made in Italy, but not in Italian, so I wonder if only the part with the writing was made in Italy. Farfisa also introduced the first portable, plastic, electronic organ, years ahead of Casio. My amp has a dedicated piano accordion channel, which I bet you won't find on your Marshalls.
Laney 20W amp. Absolute gem!! I paid $60 for it in a pawn shop and the tone range, the clarity and the beautiful distortion from this amp are incredible. It is a sad comment on Chinese quality control when you buy a Chinese product and it works beyond your nost optimistic expectations. I tried this amp out in the shop and I used a beautiful old(15-20 yr old) Epiphone Explorer copy through it. I thought most of the good noise was coming from the Epi but it was about 50/50. I think the Epi was called a Futura and I think it was one of the Korina ones they've recently reissued. The idiot in the shop sees the word Gibson on the headstock and thinks its worth $2500. I've tried to explain it to him but he still wants $950 for it. I even showed him the ad for the neww Epi range with the EMG's which you could get here for $950 new.
