Hi Roly,

Found your site and love it. I grew up on the “Brisbane Blues” , wailing through an assortment of local amps. There were a bunch of other businesses besides Vase, none of them anywhere near as good. I noticed you had a couple of them listed.

Overeem: were all solid state as far as I know, made great PA's. The original Overeem logo was made from those hardware store plastic letters which attached in two parts, a white base for each letter screwed on, then and a black insert (shaped like the letter) popped in.

Made by Hans Overeem at Darra in the west of Brisbane. Company was bought by Craig Woodhead around '69/70. He renamed the amps EDA, they remained all solid state, and used double “four twelve” columns, even the guitar amps. Craig changed the finish to bright blue tolex! Craig also made EDA electric train set electronics, all under his house in Milton.

Best regards, Mark.
