George is probably the best guitarist in the world. That doesn't mean he necessarily plays the music YOU like best, but when it comes to outright skill, he is the man to beat.

@TimNelson 7 лет назад

johnsoncm65: I would agree. Blues legend Chris Cain points to George Benson as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Saying something.

@jakestewartmusic 12 лет назад

"And boy, I sounded like, uh, Eddie Van Halen!" "Isn't that nice? Take this to the gig and come on back with some money." George Benson is just the coolest dude.

Zeek Duff they also let them use the GB logo that is owned by Hoshino Gakki (Ibanez's parent company)

Ah, then it was probably a straight-up swap, they used to call those "integrated commercials" back in the '60s. I worked for a large ad company back then. 😎

@iantaylor917 6 лет назад

I've seen a number of guys who are endorsed by a different amp company than the guitars they use, and you'll see them demoing the amp with a guitar by that brand. I've heard/read that this is part of what led to the falling out between Fender and John Mayer: he wanted to use different amps on stage and Fender wanted him to basically cover them up lol.

Got to see GB in 1975/76 with Minnie Ripperton. What a show! This was at the SIUE campus in Illinois-an outdoor gig. Great seats ‘under the tent’. Before the show we walked behind the stage where there was a small bridge about four or five feet off the ground that connected the back stage area with the dressing rooms. The guard on duty said GB was already on stage … but we knew better. When we saw the dressing room doors open we jumped up on the bridge and got in line to shake hands with ‘da man’. Big smile. Big hands. Big heart. Big impression on a 15 year-old. GB and Ms. Ripperton played individually … and then joined forces at the end of the show. I practiced Breezin’ the next few days til my fingers bled.

@sargentppeper 11 лет назад

Both Deluxe lll amps are great! The difference with the GB Deluxe lll has a 12AT7 preamp tube in place of a 12AX7 which produces a more clean tone at louder volume and a 100 watt Jensen C12K speaker for more clean sound at louder volume instead of the Celestion in the regular Deluxe lll. Lastly the wood on the GB lll is made of solid pine which makes the amp resonate more and it's much lighter in weight! This allows George to play the amp loud and clean with his band. :)

@lauriedepaurie 10 лет назад

It really works to put a low-output tube in V1 on the hotrod and blues DLX. I put one 12ay7 in V1 and a 12at7 in V3 of my '93 USA Blues DLX and I eventually sold it to a guy who paid extra because it was the best sounding Blues DLX he ever heard. It's a Stevie Ray Vaughn trick that really works. 12ay7's are very sensitive and quiet with lots of headroom and little output. 12at7's tend to have a flat character, low output and can handle the beating a phase inverter gets, and giving the amp the blooming tones of being cranked, without blowing eardrums.

@rafasounds2010 9 лет назад

+laurens b I might try that in my blues deluxe someday. It tends to sound very bright, especially with fender guitars. If you have any more tips/comments on this matter that would be much appreciated. Thanks.

@jakemf1 8 лет назад

You sure you can mix match different preamp tubes and have no issues?

@lauriedepaurie 8 лет назад

Yep, 12AX7/12AT7/12AY7 and I believe some other ones are very similar in spec and interchangeable. When in doubt, contact a tech, but preamp tubes will be fine.

@lauriedepaurie 8 лет назад

rafasounds2010 Mostly tubes, but the brightness and lack of bottom end is why I got rid of it. Now play a dumble clone, so no lack of both now.

Meticulously engineered, the GB Hot Rod Deluxe is a 40-watt 1x12 combo outfitted in a gray-black vinyl covering, silver-strand grille cloth and a GB logo badge. It has the full bottom-end characteristic of 6L6 tubes and a versatile all-tube preamp including a 12AT7 up front for cleaner tone, especially with humbucking pickups.

@greenturnsblue45 12 лет назад

A 100-watt Jensen C12K speaker handles the immediacy of Benson’s singing soloing style with clarity and range, and the solid-pine cabinet increases tonal resonance while reducing weight.

@klaustand 11 лет назад

The guitar most definitely is an Ibanez GB 10 Signature. I have one myself (but I prefer my Gibsons) I am convinced that GB can make any guitar sound like him. Hank Marvin would make an LP sound like his Strat if he tried. These guys have it in their fingers. Unfortunately we shall have to wait another 4 months before this amp hits Denmark. Kind greetings

That's odd that a jazz guitarist cat like George Benson would go for a Fender tube amp. A lot tend to prefer solid state amps for their even response and clean headroom.

Its about time don't you think. They give pretty much anyone these days their own guitar line and amp. What about a legend like george who has been around for years and has been a class act unlike someone specific say um john mayer.
