Ah, the legendary Danelectro Commando 88 – or part of it, anyway. This is a lesser known vintage amplifier, but really huge in harmonica circles. It has a reputation, part of which is that Chicago harmonica master Little Walter played one back in the day when he was making mind-blowing records with Chess up north and basically doing for harp what Hendrix did for guitar. I have one, which is kind of amazing. I got lucky and found it at a guitar show years ago. I honestly don’t play it that much…so…I dunno…it might be time to allow it to move on into some other player’s hands who will give it a good workout. Maybe.
