1969 Marshall Super Bass

Doyle Bramhall II uses a 1969 Marshall Super Bass for live work including the 2004 Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival.

After switching to Gibson, Duane also made a transition from Fender amps to Marshalls. He usually played through Marshall Bass 50 head and two Marshall 4×12 cabinets with JBL-D120 speakers.

At 13:00, Chris's bass tech Richard points out two Marshall bass heads, that judging by the facing and controls, are early Super Bass's. The lower one is said to be from 1965 and the other is a back up that has apparently never needed to be used. After this it's said that he blends the Marshall with an Ampeg SVT 2, which Richard points out could be for clean tone and the Marshall for dirty tone. When asked about the ratio of blend between the two he says "it varies by bass actually, the levels of them, they're kinda equal but they have to change each time he changes the bass".

Watch closely at 1:16 to 1:24, that's definetely a Marshall super bass on a Marshall 2x15 cabinet left of the drums.
