You gotta finish the set. I have vintage Vibro Champ which is the same amp but lacks the cool red "Bronco" letters.
Pat from offset isn't pat from offset. He is Pat from Shortscale.

OT: I didn't realise you had a couple of HH combos. Do you have a footswitch for the VS Musician?

Yes i have a couple of them Footswitches.
Some are only valve (say dirty od or so) on/off, and also a Clockwork Concubine flanger

Btw I have about all the 70s HH amp models, use a VS Musician head almost exclusively in my band

Thanks for posting!

Looks like that guitar has been been put to a lot of different configurations. Did you just pair a bronco body with a mm neck? Or were they both mm before the term and pickguard were installed?

I have an IC100 head, VS Musician Reverb combo, VS Musician Reverb head and VS bass combo. These are my VS footswitches:

Congrats on the Clockwork Concubine. I also built an Electric Mistress clone to use the effect input on the VS Musician Reverb. The old Vox footswitch has two cables and also switches the reverb through the effect input. I have modified the HH VS switch to use LEDs rather than filament bulbs.

No, it's an actual (routed and butchered) Bronco body with a MM neck

Got it. I recently picked up a 76 bronco that has been through a bit itself. Didn't get a swimming pool route, but there is a rather sloppy second pickup route that thankfully is covered by the pickguard.

On one of my old computers I have CAD models for a couple replacement pieces for the Bronco trem that would block the trem. It would still let you dive, but you couldn't pull up. THis also gave the feature of being able to remain in tune if you break a string. If not, I can remodel it from mostly memory, if i have a little help.

even the white / tort version looked cool. Squier really needs to make a fucking duo sonic with a toronado bridge like soon or at all period.
