My curiosity was piqued by a comment in the Fender Amp thread. Gibson designed a hell a lot of amps over the years but you rarely here of them and they <ahem> have no mojo. ;-) Why? One on my local gumtree btw. - http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/gibson-lab-series-l5-2x12-100w-vintage-combo/1058143770 According to that ad, BB King likes them!

Looks like the gumtree-er is right, BB liked the sound so much he fell asleep!
Seems he used in to on stage too, though from the recent thread about his concerts, perhaps not a lot ....
It's not just a sponsorship deal either, his loyalty to them has outlived their production span by decades.
Doug and Pat did a couple of great vids on the early "Les Paul" amps.

:-O- that's supposed to be a suprised smiley. I know someone who has one and his L5 is built like a brick shithouse, been dropped down flights of stairs, covered in a layer of filth but still delivers big, loud clean tones ( IIRC there is a built in compressor and overdrive, neither of which should ever be used!). Actually, he recently had a heart attack so his L5 might outlive him yet...
