| Ladies
and Gentlemen, Mr Alexander Dee! |
| Alexander
Dee, Mr Blues himself. This man is twice the man he used to be, mainly
due to a sudden (or not so sudden) influx of calories! |
| |
| Alex’s
playing style has been likened to Leslie West, Jimi Hendrix, Peter Green
and the late great Rory Gallagher. |
| |
| His
most favourite guitar in the world is his very own Flying V. Not a Gibson
though! It is a custom-built 3/4 scale guitar made by Rabbit in 1971
in Kingston, Surrey. |
| |
| It
has humbuckers from a 1959 Les Paul and has the “best sound in
the whole wide world” according to Mr Dee. |
| That
guitar is currently being refurbished and will be making an appearance
in the Autumn - however Alex is delighted to be using the next best
thing - a British (Manchester) built Gordon Smith - it’s all in
the solid mahogany Alex says - you get fantastic sustain! For amplification Alex uses a very rare Musicman 130 watt 4 x 10 combo purchased brand new in the 70’s - “You see loads of Musicman amps, but a 4 x 10” speaker setup is something else!”. Pictures on this page by Paul Puttock |
