My wife and I attended our first jam in our new locale a week ago. We (especially my wife as a singer) are not big on the open mic/jams, but it's a great way to meet people in a new town. And meet people we did. The host of this weeks jam and president of the local blues community asked me to be part of the house band this week (not a bad paying gig). Of course I was expected to supply an amp for the jamming public. Of my 3 amps, all Z's, the Ghia was the simple solution. So with a tuner on the floor to act as stand by, it was straight in all night. My Z convertible had WGS Blackhawk Alnico closed back. I had the break light just in case, but these guys played loudly, so it wasn't in play. Volume at 1:00 - 2:00 and tone somewhere 11:00 - 1:00 depending on the player. The Ghia received many accolades from all of those that played through it. "Awesome rig," "that's a great sounding amp." "That's only 18 watts.", "your tone is great," were a few of the comments.
It was a snowy night that kept many home, so the good news is I got to play and sing more than the average jam night there. No complaints from me as its been over two years since I played with a band. Working the volume and tone control on my ASAT was all I needed for the entire night.
It was nice to play, but also nice to sit in the audience and hear the great tones coming from the amp.
All I can say is, Thanks Doc. I'm confident there are some new Z fans/customers in the house.
