I love you Dex. What a voice. What a player. A true one off. More talent than most of the rock and roll establishment, and so underground it’s actually criminal. Rest easy Dex.
I knew Dexter back in Chapel Hill N.C. We never talked about music, just about life and living. I remember a random meeting at The Skylight Exchange, (which does not exist.) He just played classical music on the piano so lovely.
Anyway I love you Dex! I wish I could go back!
Dexter passed away, your music carries on.
It’s truly astounding that his little Danelectro guitar survived his furious playing for this long.
That is a different guitar. Same model. I know because I gave him the one he's playing here :)
Yeah, someone over at The Gear Page ended up buying Dexter's old one that had all the paint wear on it. I forget his username, I just know it's not me, and that he posted about it multiple times in various threads. Before it was sold, it had a different type of bridge added.
I also ended up getting a 1448 of my own, but it's made up of the neck and body of 2 different ones. I then wound the pickup in the original style by myself. If you don't know what you're doing, it's the biggest pain of a guitar pickup out of any to wind and then stick in the tube; nothing else compares, & it took me over a year to get it right.
Most of the time, I wasn't trying, because this just felt like my brain was in a jumble by trying to do anything. I wasted over 30,000 turns of wire to get it right. You gotta put the winding directly on the magnet that has no bobbin, get most of that wiring in the center, solder the wiring to the leads, tape up everything with thin tape, then manage to gently shoehorn and wiggle it all in the tubes gently, without breaking anything.

@@101Voltsit's way easier if you use doible sided tape to put two plastic supports on each side of the magnet. It prevents the wite from running out of the bobbin. Then you wax pot it before removing the supports, so that the bobbin won't fall apart.
Would have been wonderful had you introduced him to your audience by his actual name, Dexter Romweber from The Flat Duo Jets. I'm a long time fan of Dexter and his music and he has never really gotten the recognition he so well deserves. It's like interviewing Jerry Cantrell and calling the video "Rock Backstory with Alice In Chain." Glad to see more exposure on this genius musician however, so thank you for that.
he really is just the most underrated musician of all time imo, dex romweber activism is a hobby of mine
SO UNDERRATED, but left me some mighty fine tunes I'll listen to forever. RIP DEX, THANK YOU
Face in the crowd. Man that song is real good.
Might get some more views if you spelled 'Flat Duo Jets' correctly. (Not Flats) I happened upon this video by accident and I'm a huge fan. Please make the correction. Nice video.
Hahahahaha Dexter would actually laugh his ass off about it
Dex, you look fucking great!
Great info on the Silvertone. Nothing fake about this guy.
Seems Sooooo like the real deal...
Damn legend
Dexter for fucking ever
I wonder when his new album will be out.
Saw this legendary man play in Philly as the Flat Duo Jets -- he had an open conversation with the audience about how he hates using that name, and how it was a stunt by whoever was promoting the tour.
Which name?
@@jude999 Flat Duo Jets!
FlatS Duo Jets?
Who are the Flats Duo Jets?
I saw a similarly named band called the Flat Duo Jets opening for The Cramps a few years ago (okay like 30 years ago).
Yes, he and the Flat Duo Jets opened for the Cramps long ago. Some footage from those wild days of old. We will miss you, Dex.
