Whether it is a Selmer badged Watkins echo unit or not, I thought Hank didn't have an echo unit at that time, or did he? I thought he only got one some time after he got the Strat and the Vox AC15 amp? In Expresso Bongo, in the coffee bar scene , in the interim period presumably, he has the new Strat already but it sounds like he possibly recorded the mimed tunes with the Selmer amp, as he's using tremolo on the amp on both of the Cliff/Bongo Herbert tunes (Voice in the Wilderness and the other rocky one..can't remember the title) and his sound is very 'dry', with no echo..

What a super looking piece of kit Jim. Someone is on to a winner, if it sounds as good as it looks the buyer has got a bargain.
Regards Geoff.

No. My first group had a Copycat AND that Selmer echo (we had two lead guitarists), which were regarded, at the time, as the two top choices, at least in the price range. Had the Truvoice amp, too.

Posted: 14 Nov 2010, 22:54I had one of the Selmer Truvoice echo units back in the 60s and the band also had a Copicat for the vocal line-up.
There was quite a difference in repeat patterns between the two and I actually preferred the sound of the Selmer unit.
As is the way of these things, I swapped it for a fuzz box, which seemed like a good idea at the time!
