She's done and up for sale.

Now that its working, much prefer the Rumble 25 to it. And, between the two, there is more profit to make on the Sidekick 65. Sorry for the confusion. The poll was more around which one should i sell, and which one should i keep. The Rumble 25 really is as good as everyone says it is. Im...

I cleaned the gain and volume pots with DeoxIt D5 and walla! Everything works like new. I spent $23 on new grill cloth and cleaned everything up (polished metal bits, etc). So I'll follow everyone's recommendation and post the Sidekick 65 for sale. As long as I get more than $73 for it, I'll be...

I removed the amp section and opened it up. It looks great inside. I pulled the gain and volume pots and they were in rough shape. The gain had already been replaced and everything else was original. Unfortunately, these are not serviceable pots. They will need to be replaced. Does anyone know...

Bump...

Agreed. What i prefer to listen to doesnt always translate to what is the most effective set list.

As a group or "club" thread, wouldnt it be the collective effort of what all members put into it? Otherwise, i might end up talking to myself and not getting much out of it :atoz: Just to say, that i see many "first posts" but very few responses or follow ups.

Am i allowed to say that i dont like 99% of worship music? Im 29 and tend towards more "progressive" styles of music. Maybe im just a yong'n over here...

San Diego here! Whats the point of these clubs?

Howdy everyone, im new here too. I play at Existence Church in San Diego. I play a Fender MIM Jazz Deluxe with SD Antiquities II pups. As for my rig, i finally bought an amp (always played direct before) and picked up an Ampeg B2R and SVT-118e for stage presence (we play through in-ears so...
