Allen Woody's Gear
The Epiphone Allen Woody Rumblekat bass is the result of collaboration with Epiphone and the late great Allen Woody, the legendary bassist for the Allman Brothers Band and Gov’t Mule.
Allen Woody is associated with the Gibson Thunderbird IV bass, a model introduced in 1963 and designed by Raymond H. Dietrich. The Thunderbird shares design elements with the Firebird guitar, reflecting the aesthetic influence of its automotive designer. A user-uploaded photo on Flyguitars visually connects Woody with this iconic bass, underscoring its place in his gear collection.
Ampeg SVT was his amp of choice most of the time.
