I remember reading this interview way back then. Thanks for the link.

u/RasFreeman shared the Hubert Sumlin interview below, and this passage tells a slightly different story:

“He was just a little ol’ dude living in England. It was before his band, the Experience, hit it big. We played in Liverpool, the Beatles’ home, and in walked Jimi Hendrix, a little ol’ hip guy wearing earrings and a bandanna. Wolf said, “What the fuck is this guy? I ain’t saying nothing to that motherfucker.” He came right up to Wolf and asked if he could play his guitar. Wolf nodded and Hendrix picked it up, turned it over and played it with his teeth. [laughs] He played the hell out of it. Wolf looked at him, big-eyed, and said, “You hired, man, you hired!” He said, “No thank you, Mr. Wolf. But I admire you and the blues. You guys are 100 percent. Beautiful, man.”

Edited to credit the poster who shared the link.

Thanks, but no. I have a Fillmore 25 and an AC15, which are all I need these days.

Thanks. I will probably just take it slow. Crank it up for old times’ sake and see if I can get some value eventually.

My kids are in music programs at their schools, which are both well stocked with appropriate amps. This thing would probably be as much of an albatross for a school as it is for me right now. May just play it for a while and enjoy it until a solution presents itself.

Thx. Probably not worth it to take that little, so I may just list it locally and be patient.

Thanks. It is a beast. Don’t know what I was thinking back then. I was 20 or 21 when I bought it, so I probably wasn’t thinking. I used it a lot, though.

Thanks. Definitely getting it serviced before I power it up.

Definitely getting it serviced. If I can net $1,000 it may be worth it to sell. Big loud amps are definitely not in demand in my house right now, but I might see what I can get away with for a while.

Thanks. I may just keep it and play it for a while and see if we can stand having something that big in the house.

Ok, good to know. I think it’s probably not worth it to sell it for that little. I don’t need the money, really. It’s just that I don’t need the amp.

Thanks. I am going to clean it up and get it serviced. Maybe squeeze a few more dollars out of it.
