Any photos? Specifically gut shots? Any notes written in it?

I worked on a Kenny Modded bassman. It had EL-34's and the circuit was changed to KF's circuits, with the values in pencil on the tag board ! Worked nicely actually.

There might be a Trainwreck sticker somewhere on the inside or maybe the receipt.
Another way to tell is he usually changed the power cord.
If it is marshal sound on one side and a clean sound on the reverb channel it might be his.

How would his power cord be different from any other tech changing the power cord?Blinkie wrote: Another way to tell is he usually changed the power cord.

He liked vacuum cleaner cords because they're super long and usually pretty dang durable.
I like the long grey IEC cords with blue/brown/green&yellow wires (European standards I think), they seem to hold up well and can be found in really long lengths for super cheap.

Oh yeah, that's right. I don't remember what he said he uses for power cords then, if he ever did say anything. I kept wondering about that too because most vacuums use two prong cordsRichie wrote:the old vac cords he used for speaker cables

Re: trainwreck modified deluxe reverbamp
I source my power cords from $15k-$20k computers. I figure if this 9'-15' power cord is good enough for that, it's good enough for my little guitar amp. I even used one in my BF Champ build.Cliff Schecht wrote:He liked vacuum cleaner cords because they're super long and usually pretty dang durable.

He left his calling card all the time in different things. Power cords also made a difference to him.....like everything else!
