Does anyone here know what amplifiers Keith Richards and Mick Taylor used to record Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers? I've been trying to find out for years and I can't figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated.

Let it Bleed: mostly Vox AC-15 and AC-30, and a Triumph Tremelo 50 amp. No Ampeg, as the Stones did not have contact with Ampeg until the 1969 tour. For Sticky Fingers: mostly Fender Twin amps (not Twin reverb), Ampeg VT-4 and Ameg Gemini, and again Vox AC-30.

I always thought/assumed keith used his black beauty or his 59 and mick taylor used a big semi-hollow es 335 or whatever.
THANKS SO MUCH!!! The mysteries of sticky fingers and let it bleed are being unraveled.... |

don't know about CYHMK - but i recall reading (can't remember where at the moment) that for BS keith used a Gibson SG
while it's not always easy to tell - judging by the sound i'd say for CYHMK both keith and MT were using Gibsons - with Les Paul's being my best guest - i defer however to those with greater knowledge than mine
also pics. from the LIB era sessions (HTW in particular)feature fender twin reverb amps |

any idea where you could see pics of them recording sticky fingers in the studio?? That's amazing that you think he used an sg though... that blows my mind! I only just yesterday saw keith playing an sg in a picture. I know that mick taylor used an sg but keith I didn't know... wow. Cool thanks a lot. |

For Brown Suger, there's an interview in the net with a guy from the Muscel Shoals studio, and he sais "Keith was using his black SG, you know the one he used a lot at that time". Well, I don't know of any black SG that any of the Stones ever used! My main guess always has been the Ampeg Dan Armstrong, as at Altamont he played all open G songs with his LP Custom, only for Brown Suger he detunes his Armstrong to open G.
For Can't You Hear Me Knocking, keith used a Big Muff Pi fuzz pedal for sure, and most probably he used his LP Custom. Taylor has said in an interview he used Keith's black ES-345 for the solo.
About amps for Let it Bleed: I actually never ever seen pictures from the LIB sessions. There's many from the BB sessions, some from the SF sessions, but none I ever seen from the early to mid-1969 sessions.
