Joe Bonamassa might be the hardest working blues guitar player on the planet but he can still make time to satisfy his – and our – scientific curiosity, hosting the ultimate demo video from the comfort of his living room in Nerdville to find out whether a $1,000 rig could be as effective as an all-vintage rig for recreating Jimi Hendrix’s Band Of Gypsys electric guitar tones.
The video segment was shot for the online gear retail giant Reverb, and makes for fascinating viewing. Many of us have put tother a budget Hendrix rig, but the opportunity to hear it side by side with its genuine vintage equivalent is a rare treat. Doubly so when you’ve got Bonamassa playing them.
