One of my favorite Robben CD's. Sounds like a Super Reverb on 6 or 7. Add in that big Gibson hollowbody and it is a recipe for tone. Closer to that West Coast blues sound ala Hollywood Fats. Way cool. |

For those who must know, Robben looked uber casual in black boots, black jeans, and a dark olive t-shirt with matching hat. Enough with the fashion report.

The blackface super might have been Mark's. Mark had a Gibson Lab L-7 for a backup.
Is Robben known to use an AB/Y box? Maybe a Startouch -- he had some switching options going on. Robben was to ... |
