Watkins/WEM is England's original manufacturer of amplifiers. Their 1954 Westminster guitar amp was five years ahead of Vox, and a full decade prior to Marshall's debut. It's easier to list early English rockers whose first amp WASN'T a Watkins, than to name the countless British Invasion musicians who first gigged on Westminster, Scout, and the more famous Dominator combo amps. The Watkins Copicat Tape Echo is a milestone product, with a sound which some enthusiasts still prefer to that of any other similar unit ever made. Watkins/WEM amps are not common in the United States, outside of recording studios, and in the collections of amp tone aficionados. The aggressive, snarling guitar sounds of Watkins combo amps are belied by these small units' kitschy, almost cute aesthetics.

Fender introduced the Precision Bass (P-Bass) in 1951. The P-Bass was the first electric bass and was a smash hit. The Precision bass included a Slab double cut away ash body, a single coil pickup, one piece 34" neck (Maple). The early Pbass also featured large Kluson tuning machines heads. These were later replaced by conventional geared tuning machines. In 1957 the pickup was upgraded to a split double coil pickup and a wider head stock was added. |

Introduced in the 1941 as the successor to the ES-100, the ES-125 was an entry-level archtop electric guitar. It had one P-90 single-coil pickup in the neck position, and a volume control and tone control. The pre-war model, discontinued in 1942, had a smaller 14.5" body. When reintroduced in 1946 it had the larger 16.25" wide body that the ES-150 had. The unbound rosewood fingerboard initially sported pearl trapezoid inlays; later, it would have dot inlays. |

The Gibson ES-345 was introduced in 1959, and it represented an attempt to both make an upgrade to the ES-335. It featured new innovations such as Varitone Switch, Stereo capability and an optional Vibrato. The Gibson Company hoped that these additional upgrades would increase sales, and ultimately its share of the electric guitar market at the time. The original ES-345 was a fabulous guitar, and it was the model that blues great B.B. King favored prior to his switching to the Gibson ES-355. |

James Ormston Burns was born in England in 1925 and following World War II became involved in making guitars. In the late '50s he was part of Burns-Weill, making some of the earliest production guitars in England. In '60 he founded his own company, Ormston Burns Ltd., which began selling guitars branded "Burns London." Among his most endearing guitar designs were the pointy, horned Bison and a guitar made for Hank Marvin, England's answer to the Ventures. |

First introduced in 1949, the ES-5 Switchmaster was the first ES guitar to be fitted with three pickups, and was initially intended solely for jazz players. It was dubbed the ?supreme electronic version? of Gibson?s L-5 and offered a unique four-knob control circuitry that allowed players to manage pickup selection by adjusting the volume of each pickup, thus eliminating the pickup selector switch. |

Descended from a medieval drum called the Tabor, the snare is a drum with strands of curled metal wire, metal cable, plastic cable, or gut cords stretched across the drumhead, typically the bottom. The modern snare drum is considered one of the most important drums of the drum kit.
In today's popular music, especially with rock drum kits, the snare drum is typically used to play a backbeat pattern as well as fills and rolls. |

Most amp enthusiasts know the story: Jim Marshall ran a London music store in an era (the early 1960's) when demand for Fender amps far outstripped supply, and, in an effort to copy the Bassman, inadvertently invented the sound of hard rock, and the look of the amp stack. While Marshall collectors can spend a lifetime tracking down the hundreds of species, the cornerstone pieces are; The JTM45 head; The "Small box" 50w; the 100w Super Bass/ Super Lead "Plexis". Legendary (and scarce) combos include "The Bluesbreaker" and "The 18-watt". Marshall's early "Glory Days" came to a gradual close around 1973, with the advent of printed circuit boards.
Among British rock amps, Marshalls are, arguably, the easiest to live with, in terms of voltage compatibility, ease of repair, and ready availability of parts, tubes, and knowledgeable technicians. The Hollywood Vintage Collection is proud to house a STUNNING selection of early Marshall heads. |

The 500/1, an electrically amplified semi-acoustic bass, was invented by Walter Höfner in 1955; the 500/1's were very light and easy to play, and had a very rich and warm tone. The body was fashioned in the shape of a double bass (although the 500/1 is generally known as "the violin bass."). The company was made famous by The Beatles' bassist Paul McCartney's use of their left-handed 1962 500/1 model. Today it is known as the "Beatle Bass" or "Cavern Bass" (after the Liverpool club where the Beatles played in their early days). |
