My girl friend had some pictures of Tom Johston (Doobie Brother), from 79', and his MM HD 130 amp. Her late husband was a roadie and good friend of the band "Carrie Nation", from the 70's, a Nevada County band. He shot some nice close-ups of Tom and some nice shots of his MM 130! Thanks to Miles Rodney, for doing that, where ever you may be! God rest his soul! Toms amp was up on a chair, and plugged into the effects channel, with a Shure SM-57 mic just off to the edge of the right speaker cone. The Badge was silver background with black MM's This is the early model, am I correct? Tom had a Gibson (L-5?) looked like a thin Les Paul, but very "Birdland" looking aesthetics, with the big gold tail piece, and Cherry sunburst finish. I only wish I could get these on line sometime to send to you Music Man fans! Miles also was given Toms solo album "Everything you've heard is true" about that time, and it is in excellent condition! The tone of his solo's were right on!!! I used to have a Doobie Brothers song book, and there was a photo in there where they were playing live, and Tommy had the Music Man right there! If anyone has anymore info on this, I would love to hear it!


thank!
