I read somewhere he use to put loose nuts a bolts and in the bottom of his amps. Discovered the sound by plugging his guitar into a buggered amp which had been dropped down a flight of stairs by a sweaty palmed roadie. 
Brings out that vicious metallic sound, when those little sprogs jump around on the base.
7 years before kids had the fuzz pedal to step on.

Does anyone know about those great compilations of surf bands covering spaghetti western themes?

Spaghetti - Duck You Sucker
Spaghetti II - Revenge
Spaghetti III - See Ya In Hell

It's rare stuff but if you can get your hands on these, you won't regret!

A very wise man once noted that there are many electric guitarists who go to great lengths to make their instruments sound like anything but what they are; airplanes taking off, underwater short wave radios, horns of every shape, size and kind, drums of the same ilk, even, God forbid, synthesizers. But, he added, for those who long to hear an electric guitar sounding gloriously like just what it is, there is no better place to go than to the great Link Wray. With all due respect to Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and a thousand others, Link might just be the baddest of the all. give this a go picabo. do you think these guys are amutures  or contenders. anybody ?  thx, kerm
