Johnny RayGUEST
Holy shit.
Johnny RayGUEST
I had the Micro VR, the Ampeg mini stack with the compressor on top just to slam into that.
Johnny RayGUEST
And so I basically had like an overdriven signal the whole time.
Johnny RayGUEST
Probably the compressor, yeah.
Doc BrooksHOST
Apparently, Verdeen Adams White came to L.A. ready and eager for anything.
Doc BrooksHOST
He came with his Ampeg B-50 bass amp and his eggshell-colored Fender Telecaster bass.
Doc BrooksHOST
And if you're watching this, You can see from this early photo of the bass guitarist performing with Earth, Wind & Fire how the huge Telecaster bass against Verdeen's skinny frame made a distinct image on stage, especially when he and the bass were in constant motion.
Doc BrooksHOST
In fact, as you know, Verdeen's onstage energy would become one of his and the band's trademarks.
James BakerHOST
