New Fangled Amps

[sokolasty]

What’s the best coal for metal?

Black, for black metal and British Steel

 

[punchdrunk]

Get a non fungible amp.

 

[TreySonagras]

That's easy. Anthracite.

Perfect name for a metal band.

 

[Gilmourisgod]

The requisite TB snark and Yukfest now dispensed with, anybody who own one of these got some cogent advice for the OP on using the amp day to day?

 

[Lowbrow]

I'll offer this: THAT IS ONE COOL-LOOKING LITTLE COMBO!

 

[Alper Yilmaz]

Does it come with a drummer to be fired?

 

[bassliner50]

What’s the best coal for metal?

West Virginian.

 

[fhm555]

Yes and yes. Not only do they no longer make the same coal, the money is in a different type of coal.

Yep, soft coal for coal fired steam plants is hardly worth mining as those plants are being converted to natural gas. Hard coal OTOH is still needed for steel making so a market still exists.

What’s the best coal for metal?

Metallurgical coal, AKA coking coal. Without it steel would not exist, but that is being addressed. Swedish steel makers have already shipped virgin steel made without the use of coke but the technology is still too new to be in common use.
thermal coal is hardly worth digging anymore as its only use these days is to run the few remaining coal fired steam plants, which are being shut down or refitted for natural gas.

You would have had to ask this bunch…


Or maybe this guy would have known…

No “ Sixteen Tons”? (Jimmy Dean)

 

[Matt R.]

Haha. Wow.

 

[fingerslinger]

I like peat better than coal....gives it a smokey sound.

 

[dalkowski]

The trouble is, they don’t make coal like they used to.

And if memory serves, the Vox vt40x requires clean coal.

 

[SteveCS]

I remember when all they had was wood-burning amps.

This is Talkbass, it’s only over when we say it’s over.

 

[Analogeezer]

Back in the 1970's, amps ran on weed and 'Ludes; but most of you don't remember that cuz....

What’s the best coal for metal?

Doesn't really matter, as long as you put tort on it.

 

[tpaul]

None of my amps are fangled. Are those the ones that give you a biting tone?

 

[five7]

Has it got it's booster shot.
