mine sounds beautiful with acoustic geetar, harmonica, and vocals. as well as electronic treble geetar.
Johns Carruthers checked it out many many years ago and said it was the same build as a vox ac15

I spotted this thing in a thrift store and couldn't leave it there.
It just goes so perfectly with my cigar box guitars.

Beautiful!! I need to get some shots of my 50th Anniversary Bird. I realized I don't have good pics of it any more.
That would be cool! I knew there were one or two others in the club but couldn’t remember who had them. You and @MCF maybe?
Friday to see 2019, old pics
My bass refinished in Seafoam Green
Nephew's guitar refinished in Red (i guess CAR)

playing a festival here later today….no amp….no hernia lol..
Plus, at the very least, the B string would make a great thumb rest.
Imposter! That guy's smiling.
And isn't playing one o' his 'Birds.
Interesting looking acoustic bass.
Had a gig last night(Thursday). It's been on the books for awhile. One guitarist recently had some minor surgery and can't play for awhile. The other one tested positive Tuesday, so he's out. So, it was the drummer, me, and a guitarist we used to work with maybe 8-10 years ago. We pulled it off 'cos we all know a lotta the same [stuff]. Tonight(Friday), another gig with a different guitarist we occasionally use as a sub(he didn't wanna do last night's gig-long drive/
$)plus a sax man we work with offandon. Should be interesting.
Thunderbird>Rumble 100 both gigs. PA is my Yamaha mixer>my JBL EON ONE.
(Pic of set up at a different club)Equally crowded tonight.

Nice. I like the lit-up "Don't cross this line" line. How are the SITs working out?Had a gig last night(Thursday). It's been on the books for awhile.

Are there any lightweight tuners that are drop-in replacements for the tuners on an Epiphone VPro Tbird?
Playing 7ender and looking happy? I think we are being sent a message that someone is holding Chucky against his will.
The rope lights are a hint but, since we're on the same level as the dancers, are only slightly better than nothing. SIT's are working out well. I'm still having to futz with EQs that I previously used to match the rooms we play. It's a process. They're a bit lighter gauge than the EBCFs that were on there, so that's taking some "getting used to", both sonically and feel wise.

And on the subject of dancers, I heard a song a coupla days ago that had the line "She dancers like a ballerina, I dance like I've been shot in the leg". Cracked me up and accurately describes my dancing "ability".
Same here, brother.
