rjsanders Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 i've got this buddy, who has a good-paying job + sees it as his mission to patronize high-quality luthiers and amp builders. a dozen Chapin guitars, a Ribbecke archtop, Koll archtop, several Two Rock & custom Bill Krinard amps, Bruno, Maven Peal, Jim Kelley, Fargen, Dr. Z, Fuchs, all kindsa neat stuff. yesterday he tells me a shiny new Z-wreck rig should be here (literally. he parks some of his stuff in my garage/Fortress of Sillitude) in a couple-few weeks. perhaps the only amp he's ever gotten that i'm really excited about. this'll be big fun, cuz another friend had a Ken Fischer one-off Rocket type that i got to compare to my Heritage Brit II. (i actually prefer the Brit overall) most xlnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNameBand Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 One of the guitar players in my band plays a Dr. Z Stangray 212. Great amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitArtMan Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 The clips that have been posted of the Z-Wreck sound killer. I think your buddy should let you borrow it for an extended period of time, after all what are friends for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z's whole lineup is great, IMHO. but, being a Fischer fan, this will be particularly exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brentrocks Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 i wonder how that amp compares, spec-wise, to my Union Jack "the Wreck" head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentrocks Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 that Brad Paisley clip was AMAZING!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjsanders Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 i wonder how that amp compares, spec-wise, to my Union Jack "the Wreck" head? it's different. 4xEL84, 30w rms, non-Master Vol. closer to a Trainwreck Rocket in controls (vol, bass, treble, cut) z page i had the privilege of playing a friend's rocket-based custom amp (by Ken Fischer) for a good long time, so this'll be real interesting (& no doubt a lotta fun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfan Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 unclear what he lost in the flood last May. i heard nearly everything. he had a real Trainwreck, too... Premier Guitar mag (free online) had a good albeit sad article on the flood recently (Nov maybe). Evidently the storage facility for alot of the local musicians was on a flood prone area. Many vintage and in use instruments where lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
