Didn't need to know that. Thanks. Going to rinse out my cranium now.
Ah ha! Inspector Clueso has figured out your evil plan. So all we have to do is expect it all the time and we'll be spared!

Nothing there not to love! Congratulations on the VP (unless I missed something)! White Thunderbirds sound amazing......only of you go to excessive lengths to make them lined up?
(I guess maybe something like adding spacers to the string on the ball-end.....)

....also new Peavey/speaker arrangement
And look fantastic.
Sonic Youth with Kim playing her T-bird "Eric's trip"
But note also that weird guitar Thurston is playing here.
That song depends on the BIZARRE set up of a guitar they call "the Drifter." Named that way because it would drift from owner to owner in a circle of people who all knew each other in the New York No-wave scene.
No frets, a bolt as the top nut and all the electronics, save for the output, removed. As I said, the song "Eric's Trip" relied on that guitar and when it was stolen (along with all other guitars that the band was using back in 1999) it was feared that that song would never be played again.
But don't count out how loyal Sonic Youth Fans are because one of those fans generously donated a Gibson Sonex which became the New Drifter.
With which the band had a reason to bring that song back.
I LOVE that song so much.
Anyone else notice the pics not showing up? Videos were fine.
Yeah, but that's starting to sound like some kind of disease....I guess if I add this one, it's PVVPPV?
I've had that one for like a year and a half
It just doesn't get a lot of pic time, I guess?
I need some that ratchet, so I can tune the strings & keep the tuners aligned
I hadn't thought of that before!

And... Those Peavey cabs are a classic as anything.
All pics and vid’s from that post showed up fine on my iPad.
One thing I noticed when I put that Max 250 on top of the cab, it definitely didn't feel like it weighs 8.5 pounds more than the Mark IV head. I need to figure out a way to weigh it; Peavey claims it's 44 lbs.
What was the story of someone here being responsible in part for the troll under the bridge in Seattle?
Pictures should be using the Upload a File option and videos should be using the Media link option. So, maybe the upload feature is what's screwed up.

Stand on a scale and weigh yourself. Then get back on it holding the amp.One thing I noticed when I put that Max 250 on top of the cab, it definitely didn't feel like it weighs 8.5 pounds more than the Mark IV head. I need to figure out a way to weigh it; Peavey claims it's 44 lbs.
Blazers video's showed for me but not his pic. I think only one or two of Dagrev's displayed images. The rest have been the minus sign.
I'm sure Will can answer that one.
And maybe V for that matter.
And wild you even bring it up.
It all shows up for me.
Better yet:
1. Stand on the scale with the amp.
2. Write that weight on the calendar some time in March.
3. Weigh yourself without the amp.
4. Write that weight on the calendar on today's date.
5. Bask in the warm glow of self satisfaction and eat a bucket of ice cream to celebrate the accomplishment.
I'm not sure that's a great idea, but if I can figure out how to do it safely-ish, I may try it.....
why do you want to know the weight?I'm not sure that's a great idea, but if I can figure out how to do it safely-ish, I may try it.....
Mostly just curious, since I weighed the Mark IV head at 35.5 lbs., and Peavey claims the Max 250 weighs 44 lbs., but it doesn't feel like it's 8.5 lbs. heavier
Will was one of the artists involved in the project.
