@EL34XYZ I personally think they sounded their best from the mid-60's to early 70's. The 65 live album is my favorite. I love the aggressive much more overdriven sound and model my Venture's tone after it. Prior to hearing it, I didn't think the Ventures were that good.
Hi Good job
Not sure if you know this or not, but every song on the Live in Japan 65 album is cranked up way faster than they normally played those songs
They had to cram a ton of tunes into a short performance and so they boosted the tempo way up on all the tunes
It's not my least favorite Ventures album because of that.
I do a regular tempo version of this song on my YouTube channel
Check it out if you get time
see ya

Yes, I like the ton on the album also
Th thing I don't like is how they sped everything up way faster just to cram all the tunes into the performance
That and the announcer telling long stories between each tune
It interesting what different people like.
To each his own ehhh?
See ya and keep playing the surf instrumentals

Ooops, mispelled Tone
I meant to say, I like the tone on that album also
It is just how tube amps sound when they are pushed hard
Pickups can do that and loud volume levels can do that
See ya
