Since Pete Traynor was a good friend of my father I always had a Bass Mate, columns and other Traynor gear. Mate, that Shure Mixer brought back memories. Anyone else also use a Bogen preamp? I remember mixing and matching various Fender heads and cabs with Traynor amps and cabs. One one tour we were given Sunn amps to use, we weren"t used to that much power and our guitar player nearly blew our ears out. While my head may miss the sound my back is grateful for today"s smaller, lighter gear.
