That is how I feel. This isnt a new phenomenon. Get your ass to work/school.
I had myself all psyched up to go to a meeting this morning. A customer called me on Saturday night and asked if I could go to it last minute, as an "expert witness" of sorts to this review board. I have to get myself pumped up to do stuff like that, because it make me anxious. Then I find out the meeting is rescheduled. So I'm all amped up, in a very extroverted headspace and I have to sit at my desk and do paperwork all morning.
Low wattage is always big money and $150 is a good deal. I paid $200 for mine and it was covered in spray paint.
it's white outside and 25. Under 5 blankets so I didn't have to use my heater. cabin fever will be setting in soon. I'd walk to my friends place, but the girl he's dating rushed over before the freeze and is conviniently trapped there.
I met her Saturday and all I can say is I'm good on never meeting her again. Manic alcoholic Gollum looking creature. He really needs to try harder, and go for quality over quantity.

Oscars were interesting last night. You all should go watch Whiplash. Man is that a great movie.
I won't get it for 150. Guy seems set on 175. But for that I think he would hold it for me until Thursday. I wish this ****ing wt550 would sell. It would make me feel a lot better about impulse copping another amp.
Really, any all-tube amp for under $200 is a good deal. If that was a 60W Sunn head like a Sentura or Sorado it'd go for $700 plus.
Well, Aaron from red fang used A beta bass and a catalinbread SFT pedal last time i saw them...
The EL Oso is a great start to getting in that ball park. Fuzzrocious demon too. Im in love with the Fuzzrocious darkest driving. Huge sounds. Plus the boost being usable when the pedal is bypassed lets you have two drive stages on every pedal on your board.
I'm sold. Pitching a ***** over $25 bones seems silly, but I feel like a deal making failure when I can't talk a CL deal down some. But you guys are right. Sub-$200 for an all tube head is a good deal. @ampegfuzz I may take your advice to keep the tolex as is. I kind of want to tolex it in white though and maybe strip and stain the front wood plate with a dark stain or a veneer of some kind. I am not that concerned about how it would effect value as the non-original knobs and Frigidaire name plate kind of throw that off. Although the Frigidaire plate is kind of cool.
I could probably do that. I have access to a sweet woodshop via my step grandparents. Step grandpa doesn't really know much about woodwork though and I do not know a thing about joinery. It would probably cost more though in sweat equity and money than I may be motivated to invest in an already cheap amp. We'll have to see if it even works out. Y'all are familiar with CL skeevery.
As it stands, I am waiting on the big brown truck for a T40 NBD. SO thats pretty exciting. Hopefully he/she doesn't just skip my house because they don't want to go out in the cold.
In my experience, El Oso > BDPG is a great combination.
interesting. very interesting.. considering the Pharaoh and the Bluebeard have been our main tones forever.
34" neck bullet bass is on the way or at least on the fed ex truck, pretty rainy last night, took me 3.5 hours to drive from the desert back to LA and i was super drowsy/semi dehydrated, talked to lady lazarus the singer songwriter and she suggested trying to play the experimental noise fest they have in the desert every year
For once I think Im pretty much GAS free, my VEGA rig is pretty much perfected and PVYHenge is complete. Just need Janitors footswitch extention but besides that unless some rare unicorn tuxedo peaveys pop up I dont really need anything. Although my Hondo ric is becoming a real POS, but I plan on using my first full time paycheck for a real ric. I dont consider that GAS, cause itll definitely be more of a need than a want by that time.
Actually thats a lie, the second the Dunwich DA120OD preorder comes up, Im buying one.

That's why I asked you to PM me your address on saturday.
I acquired one the same heads on ebay several years ago when I was first starting to tinker with tube heads. I don't remember exactly what I paid for it, it wasn't very much but it was still too much as it was pretty well trashed beyond what the description said when I got it. It had originally been the bright light blue color but had been spray-painted black. Also the diode voltage doubler power supply putting 660V on the 6L6 plates kind of freaked me out so instead of fixing it, I gutted it and turned it into a sort of Plexi-like Traynor YBA-1A clone running 6550's. The tolex was trashed so I got some bright red "garnet" tolex and it remains to this day my one and only tolex job. It actually turned out pretty good.
In retrospect, the 660V is probably not that big a deal for a good quality 6L6 since the tube screens are held at half that, 330V. So I say go for it!!
Don't do that you'll suck all the cool out of it
. If you swap those knobs I will gladly take them
