Robben Ford Discussion

I've played that room!! Montecito Country Club, just over the hill and up the road from Robben's home in Ojai

The Throckmorton is a beautiful venue. I attended Djangofest San Francisco there last June.

I just heard about the Robben/Jonathan duo project on the Throckmorton site. Jonathan's a local guy, and ...

I've played thouh a SFTR with those speakers and it was the best Twin I ever heard in my life.

For electric guitar, it's mostly my Fender 72RI Thinline (w/WR buckers) -> Rat pedal -> EB Volume -> 94 blonde Fender Vibro-King.

If Robben is using a stock Super Reverb Reissue (SRRI), then the speakers would be ceramic C10 Jensen resissues. I'm not aware of any of Robben's amps having alnico speakers.

He does have a penchan ...

I guess Robben recorded his parts at Bryant Str ...

Bryan Lee - Crawfish Lady
Rev. Horton Heat - Revered Organdrum
Little Walter - H ...

I remember Robben subbing for Hiram in the house band on David Sanborn's TV show "Night Music". He was a good'un. Vaya con Dios, Hiram.
