Friday I delivered Brad his new production Z-Wreck before his show at Blossom. He loved his new Quantum Silver Z-Wreck set, which also included a matching Z-Verb. Brad took the time before the show to film a demo of the new amp, I should have the mixed version next week for all to see.
He rearranged his back-line to use the new amp at the show. Which surprised me, but told me he really loved the final tweaks and package.
The show was an excellent two hour mix of all his hits and new H2O material. To me ( but I am biased ) was the best show to date and I have seen Brad over ten times in the last ten years.
He featured the new amp in all but three electric tunes and three acoustic numbers. Full, rich and, articulate with great bite and warm Tele tones. BTW he did use a Re-Fin 65 Strat and a tube screamer with the Z-Wreck on one tune, sounded great but what a surprise.
A wonderful show on the water tour, and yes we had a thunderstorm. Rained like heck from 10:00 on, seemed appropriate though.

Nice!! Sounds like he wasted no time breaking it all in. Can't wait to see the video.
Thanks for always thinking of better tone. Congratulations Z!

Very cool Dr. Z! I'll be watching for it in September when I see him here in Washington at The Gorge. I'm only 19 rows back from the front, so I should be able to see what's going on - looking forward to some Z-Wreck tones!

Great story. Next time you see him, I think you should ask him to sell me his blonde Z-Wreck that he had in London last month ;-)

Hey Jordan, I was thinking immediately, like you, "what's he gonna do with all his 220V stuff he no longer needs?" If not a "used" Z Wreck, what about a nicely played in 'Ray! I guess we have our answer now, eh? Ya gotta get up early to catch these dudes out!! Pete ;D

I guess that Strat is replacing his Albert Lee?
I might go see his next show here in WPB. I missed the chance to get great seats.

Dr. Z that has to be really awesome! For Brad just to put your new Z-Wreck right into his rig and play the gig is showing some dynamite trust in your amps! Rightly so!!!! ;D

Hey there Doc. If you're looking for a home for the Seafoam cab he used when he was over in the UK, I'm more than willing to give it some space :-) loved it when I saw it in the flesh and have been wondering how I'd get a hold of one for when I eventually manage to save up for my Z Wreck.

The only place you can special order a Dr Z seafoam green cab from, is Humbucker Music. It would not be a Z wreck cab but you can order from a 1x10 size all the way through a Z-Best in the Green you mentioned. The color shown in the picture above seems to be the color of the Z Wreck. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Below is the color- You can order both Amps and Cabs- Just not the Wreck

Brent called me a few months ago and asked if it was alright for them to build Brad a Surf Green cab. I was like, "Are you kidding? PLEASE do it!" I did think it was cool that they asked since we paid to have the tolex manufactured and all (and it wasn't cheap!). That was very professional of them. Now, if I can somehow get Brad to play all Surf Green...

I guess I have to wait until Monday. Hope you still have some in the queue. MeZadude
