The gear in that storage locker appears to have belonged to Joey Trujillo, a session guitarist from Pheonix, AZ. From very brief research, I discovered that his genre seems to have been jazz funk, that he played on an album by Linda Herre "Now & Then" (1976), Pages "Future Street" album (1979), a single called "Movin' Out Back" by Diana Lee (1992), and the Dave Cook and Intensity album "Groovin' In The Desert" (1999), as well as touring with Sister Sledge in the late Nineties. He died on May 13, 2021 from cancer aged 69.
Yes. An article about him mentions that he studied guitar making & repair, so the parts Strat in the previous video may well have been his own creation.
Cool stuff
Thanks for doing the research. When the equipment was being pulled from the storage unit, looking at the wear, I was thinking that there is probably an interesting history to it. ruclips.net/video/31aU8bzQ-Fc/видео.html this video at about 52 sec shows him using the piece of equipment that was pulled from the storage unit.
Wow thanks for the history.
Cool stuff you got!
Joey Tujillo ripped it up! Look him up great player! Be proud to be part of his legacy and bring that gear back to life! He'd smile!
That Silvertone is mentioned in Joey Trujillo's bio. Talks about a Sears guitar his mom purchased for him when he was a kid.
How nice would it be to gift that back to the family, maybe even restore to playing condition.
They’d prob just sell it. Better that it gets a new life with someone who’ll love it and play it, especially if you pass on its history.
Those gold foil pickups are fire 🔥
Family doesn't care. They are too lazy to go through the storage container. Sell the stuff to someone who will actually use it.
My first guitar (circa 1970) was a used 3/4 size Silvertone. Back then, being young, I resented the smaller size and sold or traded it away. I've resented that many times since.
His sister sold the locker to Zimm
Manuel Rodriguez guitars are amazing and VERY expensive. Looks like you have a very nice one there. I think THAT is your greatest find in that locker
Definitely. Makes me wonder a bit that Zimm's Guitar's doesn't know that though
@@michaelgothenburg364 Only someone with a background in classical guitar would know that. If you knowledge only extends to electric guitars it would not surprise me that they didn't know it. My best friend studied a Julliard, has some VERY nice and expensive guitars, but his Manuel Rodriguez is his pride and joy.
it's not a very old one,the label inside give it up with a website address.Newer ones sells around $300 USD and up to $25000 USD for the top signature series.
@@CJC051Exactly. That is quite the range which makes it worth the investigation. The video didn't show the headstock enough to tell if it is signature or not. The current Signature ones have more elaborate detail on the purfling but I don't know about older ones.
That Manuel Rodriguez F-C at 3:57 goes for more than $ 1000. It's a 4/4 Magistral F full solid cedar/rosewood. Beautiful
Remember that any theatre company, private or high school or college or local volunteer, would appreciate that spotlight.
People actually putting them in there homes and stuff it's kinda like amerucan pickers stuff .
Also great for late night peeping over the fence through the neighbors windows. They'll love it!!
Donating it is a great idea. You have the locker more than paid for, it'd be great to see the spotlight find a home where it'll be used.
@@device1974 lmao, sure, donating other people’s stuff is easy
I'd put that light in the shop and sell it. Some kids garage band would probably buy it for $50-$100
I read in an article about Joey, that the Silvertone guitar from Sears was the 1st electric guitar his mom bought him when he was a boy. Maybe someone in the family wants that 😊❤
Yes on the family comment. Or maybe in a Hard Rock or similar to display with background of it.
The Silverstone was a bass
@@vicenzor3625 there was also six string SIlvertone in the part one video (13:33 in the Fender gig bag), it didn't have the tuners either. I don't recall seeing the Silvertone bass though. Maybe the six string was in fact the Sear's unit Joey's mom bought him.
@@vicenzor3625 it was his 1st guitar though.
It was a pleasure meeting you at your store Dane and for you taking the time so show me most of the storage finds in person. Made my day!
That Vox Cambridge reverb is an American-made amp, from the Thomas Organ factory that later became Sound City Studios. The little US-made Vox combos are very sweet sounding
Blackface started in '63 or '64. That's why the first Blackface Bassman's had circuit designation of AA864. However, there was also a transitional Blackface phase where the amps had the black face panel, but used the Brownface circuits to use up the remaining inventory of Brownface parts. These were called the "Tuxedo" amps.
Mojotone can make a replacement speaker baffle and back panel for the Twin Reverb. They actually make "Fender Licensed" replacement cabinets, and the Blackface Twin Reverb is one of them. With measurements, they can probably make a new back panel for the Vox Cambridge too.
Racist
The Twin Reverb probably paid for the entire storage locker. Definitely the best thing that came out of it. Worthy of a full restoration.
What's it worth? Hard to beat that vox😅
You cant fully restore it to value, no original speakers, tolex ripped other issues. You put other speakers in it and you will get maybe 1/3 the value. Pawn shops wont even take guitars and amps with missing or replacement speakers
@@halcooper3070 Is the vox tube or solid state?
He may want to see if the original speakers are there, transformers etc, no mods. the old tolex is original I would keep it on and let the person who he sells it to change the tolex
I would definitely bring it back to life and possibly use it and not sell it. I gigged with one of these once and it stomped!
That vox is gold!
BTW- I love the new intro. Super cool, man!
It shows a strong connection to the community 👍
Super cool video you made, man. Enjoyed seeing you have fun looking at all the "scores" you got. Way to go! 🎸 🎸🎸🎸🎸 🎸
If that really is Joey Trujillo's Vox amp, I am assuming the rest of the equipment was his too. This deserves to be preserved, maybe even restored. RIP Joey. I would think this stuff would be in a Hard Rock Hotel or Casino somewhere!
That’s a bit extreme. Not trying to sound shitty but ……
Some really cool stuff evoking very nostalgic memories of my UK beginnings - a Vox AC 30 and a Fender Strat you were king of the world.
Awesome content for ole gear freaks like me, Love it, Congrats on the find,Lil hidden jems, I was excited as you were watching you discover all this stuff,Wat To Go !!
Gorgeous classical guitar. Cedar top, Indian Rosewood back and sides and ebony fingerboard. The back and sides _may be_ Brazillian rosewood which is much rarer nowadays though even Indian rosewood is saved for upper end new guitars today. What a lovely thing it is.
I have a 1990 Manuel Rodriguez very similar looking. Made by Manuel Rodriguez Snr. Found one for sale the same in Europe for 30,000 Euros, and it was damaged with a hole in the side.
I paid a 100 € for a Manuel Rodríguez in Spain. Definitely not a top brand. Maybe it used to be, I don’t know.
@@ramooninthemoon Only 2 guitars used to be made a year, by one man, and there was a ten year waiting list. Those guitars made by Manuel Rodriguez Snr. were made from 100 year old seasoned woods. Very different today, they now outsource production to make thousands of guitars a year.
@@franktriggs ah that makes sense. Mine is definitely nothing like that lol
But it’s a sweet beginner guitar.
Dude! So happy for ya! This is what we all dream of!
The Rodriguez is by far the best guitar of your locker. Great !
Rodriguez guitars were used by many in the folk era in the 70's.
I think you're correct. Recently saw a video that covered that guitar maker and they were top notch.
I don’t understand. Those guitars are really cheap now.
@@ramooninthemoon$800-1200 and up is what I’m seeing. 🤷♂️
looks like this one is a top model, probably going in the $2000
The Mesa rack-mount must be shown when it's working.
Great buy!!! You scored some really cool stuff!! My favorite is the mesa. Love the overdrive tone. It's got balls.
The VOX Cambridge is an absolute Gem!!! A buddy of mine runs a music repair shop here where I live and he has the same amp he acquired from one of his clients. He restored it and demo’d it for me.
The greatest thing about that amp is the vibrato, which kind of fades out gradually. Hard to explain, you just have to experience it! Great find!
Awesome storage videos you have a humble spirit that is evident in these videos !!
Love Mesa Boogie - I used to collect them...now just have the Mk 5 35w combo and the 400plus bass amp (rackmount)... great video on the locker stuff... always good to see good karma!
The Mesa Boogie amps are so heavy that the handle tends to break off.
DO NOT DISREGARD THAT OLD VINYL! If any of those albums are rare or first runs you could be looking at hundreds, even thousands of dollars! Take them to a reputable vintage record shop in your area and get them appraised! All in all sweet score with that locker! Congratulations!
He should log it all into discogs too!
@@MrPedromuriel Discogs is the place to go, sadly most 99% of regular albums can be had for less than a dollar each
@Ham John he can sell them to me
It's a tiesco. & I'm interested
Wait, vinyl is worth money? No way! Thanks for updating all the rest of us. I usually just throw it all away, unless it's a Carpenters album, of course.
Thank you so much for sharing, I love looking at vintage guitar equipment! I would love to see a Part 3 where you put the speakers on and have everything fixed?
Manuel Rodrigues and Sons was the maker of the beautiful acoustic guitar. Thanks for showing. During the winter of 2013, I spent a month helping a sound systems business from Spokane with the renovation of the sound system in a 1905 church building that I was warned (by the sound engineer) had the original electrical (knob and tube) system in the attic, "It's still hot so be careful up there." The biggest improvement to the sound system was adding a ground to the electrical circuits in the space, which removed the constant 60 cycle hum that impacted the sound. I was thankful that the new TVs were not installed before addition of that ground leg. Replacing or adding a three-wire plug to the amplifiers is a good thing.
When dude said "the worst that can happen is it doesn't come on..." oh reeeeally heheheh! In my experience, the worst that can happen is that they can catch on fire and fill the shop up with black smoke before you can even yank the plug so be careful Holmes!
Well said sir. Makes me think about a big old Fender bass amp. The slow blow fuse went and the wizard band teacher put in a 30 amp car fuse. The thing had flamed up so bad a few components look like a piece of carbon with a wire at each end. Was that a diode or a resistor?
Love the intro! Success is all you! Thanks for fixing my guitar awhile back!
Awesome Stuff! Stumbled onto your account by accident, Thanks for the videos and your passion for guitars!
Oh wow that's a once in life time score too me😮 that vox as the mojo definitely bring her back to life but leave looking the same. Man that's killer all those amps paid way over for that locker again epic score!
blackface Twin Reverb was made between 1963 and 1967. The silverface came out in late 67. Just FYI never power on a tube amplifier without the proper speaker load connected. probably the main thing that destroys tube amps is people turn them on by mistake with no speaker connected. also those old tube amps without ground connection can shock you or worse. i always turn them on the first time with a stick and dont touch the chassis until i can measure the chassis to ground to see if there is high voltage floating on the ungrounded chassis.
Love the ol' Music Man amp. That was my first amp back in the day. Man that brings back some memories.
Hi Mr zimm s
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos thumbs up from Australia looks like you scored on that storage garage
🇭🇲👍🇭🇲
That Manuel Rodriguez guitar is beautiful. FC model, sells used for around $800. some Manuel Rodriguez guitars are selling for $14k, hahaha! what a find!
Same with old speakers with crossovers. Many vintage 'deals' become amazing with redoing the capacitors.
In '65 Fender came out with their blackface amps. They were voiced a bit differently than the brownface amps directly preceding them and the tweeds of the 50's. The Blackface amps got black faceplates, black tolex and silver grill cloth. This was when reverb showed up, built in. Many amps also received tremolo.
Cancer is an awful way to go Joey I hope you did not suffer your legacy lives on through Zimms
Connecting that twin reverb to the EV cab would be immense
I'm sure that's exactly how it was used by whomever had it.
Or the fender 2 x 12 that was in the locker.
Very cool Zimm I hope ya turn a sweet profit on that haul 🤘🏽
Happy you scored a great find!
At 4:30, that's probably a Teisco guitar. The gold foil pickups tend to be somewhat microphonic but are highly desirable to slide guitar players. Ry Cooder, or David Lindley if he was still among the living, would be into that guitar for sure (Ry used one of those pickups for the neck position of his infamous CooderCaster, and an Oahu lap steel pickup for the bridge position).
Yep
So glad I found this channel!!! I’ll come see you at the shop soon I’ve been here in the valley gigging my whole life I have no idea how I never heard of your shop before!! 🤙❤️✝️
Just saw part one. I am jealous. Watching part two now. Great video and. Great score!
Great haul! That's most likely Joey Trujillo's gear! He played for Sister Sledge and a few others
THE VOX CAMBRIDGE REVERB DESERVES A PROPER RESTORATION! Best amp there imo. Good score.
Agreed!👍🎯
I owned a Cambridge Reverb back in the mid ‘60’s and it was solid state, made in USA. The demand for Vox back then was the rage because of you know who. The American versions of the British Vox amps were all solid state; I believe you may have yourself either an early version of a US-made Cambridge Reverb or possibly a British version. In any case my friend, that is a hell of a score. I’d love to see and hear that one restored, maybe in a future video.
I agree with the post down below to plug that twin onto one of the cabs that was there also, done :)
Stumbled on your video(s) and subscribed..I had an agenda of things to get down today and blew them off to watch your vids..
great score my friend!
Awesome! Thank you!
Some really cool stuff you got . Was worth the buy.
I've got an old Music Man HD 130 I dont use it much anymore but back in the day it was my go to amp for gigs.
You would do well to make a dim bulb current limiter. That way you can limit magic smoke and the like from developing.
Awesome find. That blackface Twin Reverb is killer. You could always plug it into an external speaker cab to try it out. What's odd is the drip edge front panel grille. The "drip edge" was a very limited feature that was only on the earliest silverface amps in 1968 (blackface went from sometime in mid to late '64 through the end of '67/first weeks of '68 as they transitioned to silverface and used up all their parts). So either that grille is from a silverface Twin _or_ it's an *exceedingly* rare, late 1967/VERY early '68 blackface that had a drip edge front panel grille. I tend to doubt it just because I've _never_ seen such a thing but it is of course possible. Especially with 60's Fender stuff that went through _so_ many aesthetic changes so there are always transitional oddballs that will have features from multiple era's. Like the early "blackface" Bassman amps you see sometimes that still had the brown panel era chassis, "cupcake" knobs and with the brown panel era circuit with the "presence" control. As well as the ones that had the newer blackface era chassis and circuit with no "presence" control but still had the brown panel era "cupcake" style knobs. You could also consider putting the Twin Reverb into a head cabinet. They sell them online. A lot of players would find a lot of use from a Twin Reverb in a head cabinet. Its easier to transport, can be paired with any speakers/speaker cabinet and for session guys in particular, it can be kept in a multi-head road case, as well as be kept in the control room, separate from the cabinet when overdubbing parts which is very convenient in the studio.
Congratulations!
Yeah I wonder if the guy got a 68 grill cloth to replace the original. The UL is there so but I believe post CBS they said fender musical instruments like they do now.
Yeah, the grill is completely wrong for any blackface TR. And on a pre-CBS TR? No way in hell.
right, the speakers in the cab connect to a right angle 1/4" jack that plugs in the jack labeled "speaker" :D
A Twin Reverb chassis put into a head unit is essentially a Dual Showman, isn't it?
I just had my 1969 Silver Face ‘drip edge Bandmaster ‘ restored it rolled out of Fullerton Ca, in 7/69 according to the serial number ..all original ( including tubes which were biased.) one preamp tube replaced..
Only thing missing was the original reverb tank and a front bright switch.
Kept all the original parts.
Someone mentioned that the vintage amp market is off the hook..
My amp guy said he received about 15 inquiries asking if I want to sell it.
These offers were from old farts like me to very young guys…
I can’t wait to see part 2
That Music Man amp looks just like my B115 One Twenty - 120 watt solid state bass amp with a 15" speaker. The blonde pinwale ones were a little more rare than the standard black tolex, and they usually came with an upgraded EV speaker. They were built in the early 80s. I've had mine 40 years (my dad owned a music store back then and he was a MM dealer) and it still sounds awesome.
Amazing find
I have been scewing around with old amps since I was a kid. Now I just piss off my neighbors with a Boss Katana.
Good for you. Pissing off neighbors is fun. And that makes YOU a fun person to have as a neighbor. /sarc
Nice score, great honest video,
thanks
The vox is very similar to an ac-15 but assembled in california. Very rare amp. 1965 I believe. By 66 they were solid state.
These two videos were great. Sort of always what I wished to see in storage wars.
Storage wars ruined Storage locker hunting
Evm21l are guitar speakers but i think they use them in their pa as well. Great buy man those evm12ls are a couple hundred a piece new. Plus that old mesa cab!!! And the rack rig man you found some pretty rare and AWESOME stuff in there!! Im stoked for you!! Wish i lived in AZ id come see ya
Love the new intro man!
Been waiting for this
You said nothing happened but I saw a tube glowing! So glad you noticed!
On that clean channel, the upper row of controls, pull on that gain knob for the cleanest clean you have ever had from a Mesa. Driving one of these with a Metal Zone (or any boost pedal) really opens them up, and adding an EQ pedal (or whatever device you have) will also give that F-30 some great tones at decent, probably won't get you evicted, volume levels.
Looking forward to part 2! 😃👍
This is part 2
@@slimturnpike Maybe Part 2 of Part 2? :-) But seriously, I would love to see a Part 3, once all of that stuff got fixed up and fine-tuned.
You deserved this score brother. 😊
I have a messa boogie f-30 myself. Its my favorite amp had for years will never get rid of it best sound tone, crunch, reverb is good and high gain is awesome! Major score! Make sure you look for the foot switch.
Some cool finds. By any chance was there a tuner in that locker?
Ohhhh!!!! 🤣
…nope, no tuner! But a few cool gems from back in the day that still have some life left and some music to make!
Beautiful stuff!
Blackfaces came out in 65 I have a 65 Deluxe reverb a reissue of a 65 twin and a Revera era twin 2 ( which I love ) its a beast.
That little Music Man amp sounded great. I was shocked when the Mesa worked. Very cool.
me too..I think when Zimm unscrewed the fuse and put it back in it made connection..
it’s happened to me more than once with old amps that have been sitting for awhile.
Great gear… thanks for sharing
That music man amp sounds sweet!! Clear and crisp with that vintage gain sound
Agree..I love my MusicMan amps.. plenty of Leo Mojo in them.
I was quite disappointed in my brother's MM amp (I can't remember which model he had). You couldn't drive it hard at all -- at least not with the results this MM amp has. My brother agreed. He sold/traded it in a year or so after he got it back in the early 1980s. But I would love to have this MM!
Good score Dave !!
That Manuel Rodriguez nylon string number is SWEET!!!
The Fender Twin Reverb has a speaker jack on the back. Just plug a speaker cabinet into it and test it out. That amp (the Twin Reverb) paid for the locker. The VOX also may be the biggest find. The Mesa is a nice amp, but not in the same category as the other two.
love my MB Mark V 90 head!
I was gifted a Silvertone Danelectro Dolphin bass. I played it for years. Great sounding bass. Made for Sears 1959, 1960, 1961, and NEVER reissued.
Love those EMGs😊
Black face may be Pre-CBS. If it is, it's 1964 or older.
that musicman is hot! i used to have a 2x12 and sold it some years back to a collector over internet. id love to have 2 of those and run a stereo rig.
The Fender is the star of the show; fully restored it will get you around $3K or so...the Mesa is a $900 amp, and the Vox will get you around $1600 when cleaned up. I would replace the the 2-prong power chords since the amps will be not 100% original after a tech has gone through them, but retain the cord for any collectors that might buy the amp. The amp market is crazy right now, prices for old stuff is as high as Ive ever seen it. Very well done with this locker, lots of WOW factor.
A partsCaster for $3K?? I don't know about that.....
@@hamjohn8737 The amplifier, smart guy.
Yes.. I always keep the original ‘suicide’ plug, caps resistors, even burnt out pre amp tubes from my vintage Fender Amps..
The ‘purists’ love all that stuff..
I
The Vox Cambridge tube amp is the rarest & most desirable amp there, try to find another. You'll find blackface twins easily enough.
That Vox brings back memories. I had a Cambridge Reverb amp in the 70s. Not positive that it was tubes. Selling it was a mistake.
BOOGIE sounds GOOD also!! U scored HUGE!!
Nice find, like your picking style and type of music you played, I'm interested in learning that style of music.
I watched you pull it out the locker the other day .. mesa boogie hell yeah
I fixed my friends contessa 6string with the bridge doctor thing... 70s acoustic tone sounded great
That nylon string is a find....those are great guitars
Beautiful classical guitar
Ooohh, the one in the Gibson case !!! Love it !
Awesome. Just subbed ,
I just found the vid of the storage locker, I’m here for part 2, I’m hooked now
Sweet stuff. Music is my love and pain. I was born in the wrong country and wrong town, it was impossible making a living out of music. My only solace is watching videos made by passionate people. Thanks a lot.
You hit the jackpot
You definitely got a killer score!
I had the same MR nylon guitar its amazing German spruce top ! rosewood back and sides
I can walk in any classy guitar store , a old silvertone guitar can turn my head instantly , as for the Fender -Gibson cases, all that has to be done is get them back in respectfully condition as you probably know because they are just cool for being the real thing .. I love the old Vox amp and the fender and Mesa Boogie
oh man the w w west bass , wow!
Ok- I just saw the sticker on the left inside of the Amp. There should B info on that sticker- it's definitely the original sticker.
The Twin has its inputs right on the back panel! They're 1/4" jacks, including the one where the internal speakers plugged in (the one on the left that simply says "Speaker" .... the right one is "extension speaker"). You didn't need to replace the speakers to test it, just plug it into a cab that is a minimum of 8 ohms. That said, it's probably best that you didn't, as that is an old tube amp that's sat for years and the capacitors, if they are original, will be paper and oil and may need reforming, so your tech will bring it up gradually from 0 to 115 on a Variac. That Boogie isn't worth what the Mark series models were, but you can still get a good 600 to 800 for it, depending on the local market. I have to admit I wanted you to plug in the Twin with a cab, but at the same time, that was a selfish desire, as it would be better to bring it up slowly on a Variac.
