What amplifier does Mike use live for electric guitar?
Over the years Mike has used many different amp/speaker combinations. His favourite for a long time was an extensively modified blackface Fender Twin. Sadly this amp was stolen, along with his van and other equipment in London. He’s also used at various times a couple of hand built valve amps, various Jansen amps (Made in NZ), a Marshall JCM 800 stack and various other Fender’s, his favourite being a late-1950’s Bandmaster. He had a custom amp built by Torres Amps in the UK, but it caught fire on stage, and almost killed him in the process. He has had this amp re-built but at the moment his favourite amp is a highly modified MusicMan RP112 from the early 1980’s. This amp was modded by Mike’s “amp doctor” Tom Rahn of Darmstadt, Germany.
