There is a documentary of a guy and his girlfriend building one of those uber tiny houses on a flatbed trailer on Netflix. I can't remember the name of it though. Must be some relaxed codes in some parts of the country. Where I work you can't even live in an RV on your property. Has to be on a permanent foundation.

"Tiny" is the title, I think.

Yeah that is the title. I remember the girlfriend having David Bowie eyes, two different colors.

I feel down a Google hole with websites about urban camping and the whole building tiny mobile houses thing a year or two ago. Someone found my way to it by way of looking up sand/earthbag style houses and the whole DIY sustainable building thing. I would love to build myself a studio that way eventually, but the whole small camper thing is not for me. I found it fascinating from a certain utilitarian lifestyle point of view that appeals to me, but I hate driving. I'm more a shack in the woods type of hermit.

Corey y didn't you own both a 410e and and 810e at same time? Also I still think you would be better off with ampeg 810. I think your stressing to hard since you gave yourself a deadline to have a cab buy your next show. How do you EQ your amp? And of you run dirt do you run them at unity or hotter then the clean signal?

I had a 410HLF and an 810e at the same time, never owned the 410he. I got rid of the 410HLF, because it was my compact cab for recording and once I had the two Duallies and a ported 110, it seemed completely unnecessary. A lot of people bag hard on that cab, but it did fine for the typical Ampeg 10" tone, with a little extra low end punch. I always had the tweeter turned off, because f*ck tweeters forever.

I started that but couldn't get I to it, was probably really late.

I understand prohibiting trailer trash lifestyles to control the looks of an area. But if you live in a not in town area, or make a nice tiny place I don't see the problem.

But If you drive a tenement on wheels with a Rottweiler named snot... hell no!

Same utilitarian view, but I love driving places.

Would be awesome to wagon my way to big bend or where ever. I wouldn't use it as a home. It'd be more a look I made a portable living space for little money and simple materials.

Yeah I think it is like 30 days or something like that you can use them for before you have to move to a different spot. I have always wanted to bum around the Western states and was trying to figure how to do it on the cheap.

I'm sold.

Wait for the headline "man chews his own foot off to escape bear traps guarding a cartels rural pot crop"

Thanks Corey! And as for turkey, your seemingly running the 4 pro without the volume killing suck button and not scooping mids. I think you should not think to much about the old cab since you have a whole new amp set up now. Most GC's have a 810 in stock maybe schlep your 4pro, main ped, and bass up there and give it a go? No buddies/bands have a 810 you can borrow/test out?

The older I get, the more I embrace a utilitarian philosophy in my lifestyle. Mostly in the form of eliminating things from my life that are just there out of habit, instead of adding value. I try not to adhere to any philosophy strictly or dogmatically though, so just evaluate everything on a case by case basis and reserve the right to make exceptions or change my mind. I don't drink, smoke or get high anymore. If someone invited me to a party and offered me a delicious beer or a toke, I wanted it and could do it responsibly, I would. I wouldn't start smoking again though, because there's no value in it at all (only the relief of sating a craving that the thing itself gives you). It's also a lot of stupid little stuff. Like I threw out all my underwear and socks, then bought enough of the same kinds of each to last me a month. So I never have to worry about matching socks and I don't have to do laundry as often. My wife knows all too well that I would love to do the same with my shirts, pants and shoes and just have a bunch of one outfit to last me most of the time, with a few alternates for different occasions. Ask Nick or Mark about my custom gear design aesthetic..."Eh, just make it all black". I value aesthetics and enjoy interesting, creative things that people do, but when it comes to spending my own time and money I'm just very minimalist now.

Actually, the only other metal bassist I know locally has an Eden 810. I probably could borrow that if I needed to. What old cab were you referring to?

Like a cartoon character, same outfit everyday.

I like the underwear and sock thing, but all of my shoes require different sock colors and lengths. Also boxers come in variety packs so can't keep much uniformity there...
