Dave Brock's Gear
According to the Westone Guitars page, Dave Brock's iconic custom painted guitar is a Spectrum LX.
"Dave’s stage rig includes a 1978 Roland JC-120, two Hiwatt 4x12 cabs painted by artist Barney Bubbles, his 2007 Gibson Les Paul Classic Antique Artist and a Line 6 POD Version 2.0."
"Dave's number one stage amp is this 1978 Roland JC-120 painted by artist Alan Arthurs in the late 1980s."

“[...] Then I got a Harmony Stratotone and I bought an old Dynacord echo unit and a little Vox amplifier. I got the echo unit and used to sit at home plonking away on the Stratotone - I played that guitar for quite a few years in the 60s."
"[...] Later, I got a Selmer Thunderbird amp and a Silvertone [S-1384] - that was quite a weird guitar because the binding was all aluminium. I’ve had all sorts of weird guitars, actually.”

“I got a pickup put on my 12-string acoustic and that was my first foray into electric guitar. Then I got a Harmony Stratotone and I bought an old Dynacord echo unit and a little Vox amplifier. I got the echo unit and used to sit at home plonking away on the Stratotone - I played that guitar for quite a few years in the 60s."
“[I used] Dynacord echo units originally, then it was the Watkins Copicat with the tape running round it. I’ve still got my old Roland Space Echo. The only thing is the tape goes wrong and you’ve got to make yourself a new one, so it’s a bit of a pain in the arse.”
