The equipment pictured was state-of-the-art in the late 1950s.

The Gibson E.S.335 guitar could have been used by Chuck Berry or BB King, the Gibson E.B.2. bass could have been used by the bass player with Elvis Presley or Gene Vincent, and the blue caps the Fender Bassman combo could have been used by the bass player for Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis.

The Vox A.C.30 could have been used by the bass player for the Shadows and the Ludwig Downbeat drum kit could have been used by the drummer for Buddy Holly or Bobby Darin.

These are pieces of music history that have the sound and feel to carry on making history for years to come.
