The
story of the Rex Bassking sounds like a legend, or at the very least a
Da Vinci Code style tale of investigation, serendipity and discovery.
The amp’s origins lie in the 1930s when the late Frank Lamberti arrived
in Australia from Italy. Working at the Astor radio factory in
Melbourne, where he assembled valve radios and communication equipment
for the Australian military, Mr Lamberti transferred these skills to
his own company in 1946 when he teamed up with his brother Anthony to
form Lamberti Bros.
The company’s North Melbourne workshop began producing valve
radiograms, televisions and a range of guitar amplifiers beginning with
a 6 watt amp released under the Rex brand name.
The
company continued to make amps over the next 15 years, ranging from the
original 6 watt designs to 50 watts. But rising labour costs led to the
difficult decision to cease production in 1974.
