The Very Young Jimmy Page
Posted : September 11th, 2008 by toyzThe Very Young Jimmy Page – Great clip of James Page at I would say age 14 ? playing some Skiffle Music with his mates. Very odd they all seem very bright and articulate as the host Huw Wheldon peppers them with inane questions. The one kid even made his own stand-up bass which is incredible on it’s own!

Orange AD5 Watt Tube Combo

Since then it has become a real collectors piece, even being listed in Aspen Pittman’s ‘Groove Tubes’ book. It has a classic vintage amp character, and at at such a low power is ideal to record with, or simply get those great live cranked sounds in your bedroom without annoying your neighbours (too much).
