hmmmm
nice not sure if I have any of those will have to look

Yeah I know, it's very time consuming. Fun and worth it though.
Tip of the day: 70s Matsushita EL34s, best of both worlds; both the creamy mids of the the Mullard and the woodiness of the Philips.

Didn't Mullard set up Matsushita's tube production in the late 60's / early 70's ? Their 12AX7's are very much in demand.

 

[jacco]

No, sublte difference: Mullard was acquired by Philips in 1928. Philips & Matsushita started working together around 1953, in 1955 Philips equipment was bought and used (the same year Philips bought Amperex). The Matsushita (long plate) 12AX7 & EL84 tubes up to 1959 are carbon copies of Philips 12AX7s & EL84s for instance (the ones starting with N as factory designation). In the (possibly mid) 60s it is said Mullard knowledge/equipment was used by Matsushita.

Feel free to ask questions in the future but don't forget to put up your finger first

 

[Max The Dog]

Up where Jacco? :roll:

 

[jacco]

Ehm Pete..

 

[Mick51]

Thanks for clarifying my point, Jacco. I was almost right.

Matushita EL-34s are very good I have a set around.

 

[jacco]

Got a few NOS sets with Philips logo's myself, they ain't going nowhere

 

[Mono]

1984 Greco EG60-180 (EGF-1800 equivalent, solid top)

 

[brokentoes]

Hot **** there is some freakishly nice gits in here everyone, love the flame and the birdseyes in your '84 there Mono.

Here is mine, i actually think i'm playing better because of the quality of this instrument, that or maybe i'm just more inspired.

 

[jacco]

Nice Andy! So you know what the model is at last?

 

[Mono]

Yeah it was kinda a process of elimination

Wulf had the 84 magazine and it kind of had to be an EG60-180 given the specs, finish and open zebra pickups (assuming they are stock!). Wish they hadnt had their stickers removed!

 

[wulfman]

As much as I like the Gibson R8 I got, my Bacchus Classic is still the #1 for sustain, tone, and playability. I have some Seth Lovers in there now which I think I may prefer to the stock ones by just a little bit.

 

[Phantom]

stunning guitar mono

 

[Thomas/Sweden]

Gorgeous all of them!

 

[Phantom]

im assuming not for sale?

 

[Mono]

my Greco?

I'm afraid not, and it's already spoken for if I ever change my mind

 

[Jamest]

Yes it is. The envelope with cash and your name on it says so
