Waylon Jennings' Amplifiers
"It's a 1972 Fender Super Six Reverb. Originally purchased in Knoxville, Tennessee, at the former Broadway Sound Music Store. Waylon purchased BOTH floor models that were there. In 1995, he (Mr. Jennings) gave one to my Father, for an old Magnatone Custom 250 amplifier that he (my Father) had. We STILL have Waylon's Super Six in our Family Room, along with other items he gave my Father over the years, here in Nashville. He and my Father were what we simply call, 'Buds'!"

This is from the Johhny Cash TV show in the 1960s. He's plugged into a Super Reverb. He played these in his early career.

"This amp currently belongs to long time Waylon Jennings bassist, Jerry 'Jigger' Bridges. It was used on many of Waylon’s recordings from the early 80s onward. Waylon gifted the amp to Jigger as a birthday gift. It was used on many of Waylon’s recordings and occasional small venue gigs.
The amp cosmetically is 100% original however it was recapped in the mid 80’s at Fender. Original parts will be included. As was typical for amps of this era, the tube chart label for this amp is inconsistent with the actual circuit type. The label lists it as a 5E9/A but it is actually a 5G9 circuit. It has the expected cosmetic wear for an amp of this age having been used as much as it was. It sounds and play great!"
Waylon is seen using a Randall Commander II combo live in this ad.
"Last night, I went to the Waylon Jennings auction preview at the Musical Instrument Museum in Scottsdale, AZ. He is one of my musical heroes & I'm happy I was able to go. I was able to get a fairly close look at his main road amps. There was a Dual Professional in a custom cab with 2x15? JBLs with the set list still taped to the top of it! I've seen this amp (or at least the cab) in many videos. There was a blackface Super Reverb (post 64, 'Fender Musical Instruments'), a master volume silverface Twin in a custom cab, & 2 Quad Reverbs. I'd love to have any of them, especially the Dual Professional! There were also a couple TRRIs & an Evil Twin.
(...) Set list on top of the dual..."

See the original forum post here. The full picture of the amp shows that it has been converted into a cabinet.
