Fender Amp

My Boyfriend recently took apart his 1970's Fender Tube amp, so I used the opportunity to get in their and take some pictures! There are some fantastic components, many of them reminding me of weird scifi skyscrapers. I would love to be able to collage them in such a way that they look like Science Fiction style buildings!

 I took as many pictures as possible, as, even though they look high tech, the components themselves are from the 70's and are now considered outdated technology (even though, in my humble opinion, they sound much better!).

This again fits in with my previous research, and will definitely be the angle I take on the project from now on. It would be nice for the final images to look futuristic (all be it futuristic in decay), but then one person will look at it and say, "Hey - isn't that a valve from a bass amp?" or something along those lines. I hope this way it will encourage the viewer to continue to read into the images.

 It's a shame it isn't in working order at the moment as I would have liked to have taken some pictures of the valves lit up.
