[Harpsucker]

the guy with the pro jr is Rainer Achterholt a local musician and music teacher, great acoustic player he got his own gypsy music kind of band

[crawfishdave57]

Hi Thomas,

You're an awesome harp player. Great "old school" sound. You planning on playing anywhere in the U.S. in 2008? I know a lot of people that would spend half a day (or more) driving to hear that.

[Harpsucker]

no money, no time, thx where are you located in the states i go upstate NY once a year

[crawfishdave57]

I lived in Rochester 20 years and visit there as often as possible. I live in Williamsport, Pa. now. Keep blowin'.

[stevestang08]

So stell' ich mir einen richtigen Blues-Jam vor! Geil!

[dalung]

Is the Fender Pro Jr mic'd up or is it actually loud enough be used in a live band scenario?

[Harpsucker]

thats a "Frankenstein"-amp its actually a Fender

Deluxe cabinet loaded with a 1950's National schematic powered up to 50 watts, its a loud amp kills a Twin Reverb no problem

[dalung]

OH that explains it then. I just read in the description that one of the amps was a Fender Pro Junior, that's why I asked. So was that a mistake in the description?

[Harpsucker]

no the Pro Jr(in black Tolex) is on the left side right next to the piano on top of the Super Reverb, you can see the amp only in the beginning of the vid

[dalung]

But is it being used? Or is it just sitting there turned off?

And either way, I was hoping you could tell me if it's loud enough to play in a band environment?

[Harpsucker]

it is used by the guitar player left and yes its loud enuff , he is not playing solo but you can hear the rhythm guitar

[dalung]

Is it loud enough if playing solo though? Most of my stuff is endless solos. But I don't wana have to take my 100 watt amps every time i rehearse. So i'm hoping this can keep up with drums and bass? What do you think? Thanks a lot.

[Harpsucker]

i think it will be no problem

[tonewheeler76]

Bravo !!! Grüße aus Berlin !

[paulefty]

nice!

[niceandeasygeorge01]

I would have to be so hammered to get a shred of enjoyment out of this. I mean, look at that guy coming in at 90 seconds.

[Harpsucker]

those nights are sometimes real freakshows

[alanpaulchina]

Nicely done... where are you guys? sweden?

[Harpsucker]

[kokonutz32]

[SAUCEPANJEFF]

Now thats what I call a blues jam. Fantastic band!!

[viktorskyler]

Great!!! Looks like everybody is having fun!!!

[harpmac]

Thomas as usual you are rockin' bro! you needed to get the video guy to film more of the girl dancing as well next time (hee hee)!

[KiddCincinnati]

Great to see you out playing "live" with a group! (nice harp playing) Looks like everyone had big fun! I knew you would post something fun like this one day.

[arnenym]

Love it! Good playing and lots of fun!

Nice sound on harp and outstanding playing as always.

Im curios about the schematic to the amp!?

Maybe i could find it on schematic heaven?

[mxm190]

now this sounded great ... nice gritty sounds from that amp TF

[rickindavis]

Great stuff! Lots of fun, and that's what it's all about.

Did you build the clone?  What speaker is in it?

[Harpsucker]

yes i build the amp, its the amp from the Harmonica Amps series Vol.27, actually a National amp schematic with lots of power, the speaker is a 1957 Jensen P12N

[1bluesbrother]

Sounded really nice loved the harp playing.
