'Took him two days from start to finish, sounds great, and has mojo coming out the wazoo. I swear, that guys a genius.

|  | I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process... Audix Microphones, Epiphone Guitars | | Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Bay Area, CA | | | I heard Timmy C gathered special sand, grain-by-grain, from Okinawa and crafted his own glass for his bulbs.
I heard he has bulbs that have fillaments that don't go anywhere, just to keep people guessing how bright his rig will go.
Is any of this true?

Also, I heard that my light bulb might be 'starved' because it has an external power source. Do you think it likes pizza? |

Nope, gotta be four, now that I think of it. Can't leave the neon guys out, either.
Absolutely NO arc lights.
