Another experiment in mic placement and amp combinations. I am playing one of Buddy Guy's favorite stage rigs of a vintage 1964 Vibroverb/Tweed Bassman combo. He says he has the Tweed Bassman on stage just for mojo so the majority of his sound must be coming from the Vibroverb. It is hard to duplicate without cranking the amps a little more.  The Vibroverb is on 2-1/2 and the Bassman is on 3-1/2.  On stage, I would probably have the Vibroverb bewteen 4-5 and the same for the Bassman. I turn on the TS808 occasionally but would much prefer to play this combo clean since the tone is sparkly without it.
