Any tips on posting an ebay item? I'll fix it if possible tomorrow.

"this could be the best piece of music memorabilia from the Grateful Dead available for sale in the world today."

sorta, kinda... for all you pedal steel players out there

Sweet! Much like the YouTube embed feature. I may remember this in the future. Thanks much.

I had a very vague recollection of an amp like this. I just did a Google Image search for "Jerry Garcia pedal steel." I found a bunch of Twin shots.

Hmmmm. Anybody have a photo of him using this amp?
Peace

Check the listing photos, one in there.

That's an old transistor (maybe 60 watts?) Sho-Bud "Christmas Tree" pedal steel amplifier. I do believe he used this amp with NRPS for a bit, but I'm not sure it stuck for long. They're not that loud and they do blow with loud abuse. Back then, Sho-Bud made a few nice sounding transistor amps with JFETS in the preamp and the general circuit was like a Twin Reverb tonestack.

If someone want to find pic's of Jerry with it, maybe go digging/googling for him with NRPS in 1970. That may be what that is. It's possible that this is the Jerry NRPS amp, possibly.

Here it is without the tie-dye grill cloth: April 1971 (or so it claims)

That"s a great photo.I just saw one of these amps for sale for $400. Could probably be had for less.
I'm sure it doesn't have Jerry's prints on it though.

Cool. Some of my favorite Dead memories are from those early-70's days when the NRPS opened for the Dead. 5+ hours of Jerry!

Wasn't this just for sale not too long ago? I feel bad for the seller if he really paid 50k for it a couple years ago. Not a particularly prudent investment.

Do you suppose the "touring jacket" that he also has for sale is Jerry's Members Only jacket? Jerry was ironic before it was cool to be ironic.
