Here's rough mix of one of takes from our live session we'll be using on the demo, I think the drums could come up alittle, my rhythm guitarist could also be turned up a little, and my lead guitarists solo section is little loud other than that I'm satisfied, I'll post the other song soon, I was using my Bassman pro300 into my 4x15 peavey cabs, my peavey t-40, super collider and nano small stone.

Contemplating a potentially REALLY poor financial decision. I have serious GAS for an all tube amp. I could probably get rid of my fridge to cover half of the cost and just use my sunn 215b. I have received little to no interest in my Eden WT-550 or my Gibson EB4 that I have been trying to sell locally for quite a while. I have seen these go on ebay for quite a bit more than this, but on average closer to $1200. Should I dip into my SHTF savings and grab a clean looking 2000s or is this a pretty average deal? If it is loud enough, I wouldn't mind selling off my 4 pro either.

I have an appointment to go check it out tomorrow afternoon. Anything specific I should be looking for? I will be bringing my 215b and fully intend on pushing the **** out of both of them.

I was just looking at that listing the other day. I picked my 2000s up for about $800 a few years back, and a 1200s in 2013 for about $1000, so $900 isn't bad if everything is in order. Look for what tube compliment is in it, look to see if the transformers have come loose at any point, see if it's been switched to three prong, if the death cap and polarity switch have been taken out of the circuit.

I talked to the guy earlier and didn't think to ask any of those questions. I obviously know what I am looking for with the plug. I assume I will see scuffs around the transformer screws if it has been moved around or replaced. Not sure how to tell if the death cap/polarity switch are out of the circuit. What should I look for? As far as tubes go, those can be replaced I guess but is there something I should avoid?

This morning I went for a walk around my parents neighborhood and had the sheriff called on me...

Sheriff: you're not in trouble, but people see you just walking and it's suspicious... What are you doing?

Me: Just walking

Sheriff: Well people have had security issues lately.

Me: I know, my parents live here.

Sheriff: You don't live here? Why are you here then?

Me: Visiting my parents...

Sheriff: OK but watch yourself, it's weird to just walk in the neighborhood...

I think the weird lady who drove past me 8 times, then asked if I'd seen her dog called him. Probably because I wouldn't give her my full address, but **** her she's not a cop. She had a clearly truant kid with her otherwise I would have told her to **** off, or tell me where she lives too.

How do people without cars get around in your parents town? Hover-round?

if youre planning on using this as your gigging bass amp, my vote is NO. It wont be loud enough.

My parents are having me pack everything I haven't taken with me to my house and putting it in the closet in my old room.

Nostalgia, depression and weirded out every step of the way. Just found a stack of love letters from an ex, can't read them, can't throw them away... Other finds are a cow pelvis w/ bullet hole, a billion Legos and a stack of sketch books from my little kid days.

In Dixie they don't believe in public transportation. Everyone is born with a pickup truck and a mouth of chaw.:laugh:

That's why we love our mothers so much. It's not easy giving birth to a truck.

I've actually never tried chaw, though I'm perpetually curious what it tastes like, but not enough to actually try it. I had a friend whose dad always did and I always thought he had grey hippo teeth as a kid because his gums were receded to nothing.

Go for it... Make sure you take video of you dry heaving after the nicotine rushes into your blood stream. It's awesome...

In high school this kid tried it and got dizzy and fell down the entire set of stairs while attempting to leave his seat on the top bleacher.

I have smoked this Arabian tobacco called dohka and it did exactly what you mention, so string it felt like nitrous. I dry heaved aplenty.
