Ever hear anything that sounds "Gray Gold"?

Maybe. But I don't remember.

I don't remember what I don't remember anymore.

Mel is one of the few that unmistakably had serious dirt and sounded great. No, fantastic. If I were in a band that was suited to it, Mel would be a target. The first live album, much less so on the second.

They used West Amps and had an EB-0 pickup in his Fender Jazz, he cranked the head, no effects. 200 watt tube heads. The cabs had two 15's in each, I think he used 4 cabs.

Ah. I use my preamp no matter what I'm connecting to. <shrug>

I've never gotten a good result running this into an amp's input.

Well, if I actually understand how these things work, you'd be double preamping it. Sort of overgaining-if that's a 'thing'.

That sounds right. Way too much. My 800RB pre is very different than MXR's.

1992. I think they only made the olds for 91 and 92.

Mine only has the 305 though. Lt1 would be nice, but it's a nice smooth cruiser as it is, and does pretty good on gas considering its size.

I saw a guy once, maybe a decade ago or so?, he put a 6.5L diesel in one of those Olds wagons like yours.....

For Thunderbird Thursday.......




.......another Whitebird (VP) pic.

.......but sharing photo space with it's complete opposite

Bad picture for Thunderbird Thursday. The day my Epi Metallic Red Bird arrived.

Just great! Now I have to wipe drool off my keyboard every time you or Kara posts a CAR bird.

Agree to disagree. I read it and found the book engaging. But i think he is probably really tedious to deal with. He is quite volatile and unpredictable.

Living legend to meet? I would love to have a cuppa with Jeff Beck.

The Boss for me.

 

[MCF]

We think opposite, I've always suspected that Nigel Tufnel was based on Beck . I'm sure you've seen Hail! Hail! rock & Roll? It seems to have taken a lot of patience for him to deal with Chuck. I read a book about the making of the Doc and he was supposedly a real piece of work to deal with.

They should have made a doc of making the doc.

Hello All. I haven't been able to follow for a while. On the 21st While working on finishing my Storage building Roofing I Slid Off and Fell about 9ft. When Landing I Dislocated my Right Wrist along with a Fracture. Free ride to the Hospital. They also did a Covid Test which came back Positive. Been a rough few days but am feeling a bit better today. I have Surgery Scheduled for Tomorrow. Plates and screws. Follow up for one plate removal at a later date. I look forward to hearing about the get together at Chuck's.

Oh man. Double whammy. So sorry to hear that. At 9 feet, glad it wasn’t worse. I trust the surgery will go well and you’ll be back playing in no time. Keep your spirits up!

Play it! I don’t know about yours, but my Pelham Blue one sounds great.

Overlooked power trio of the 70's

Keef's book was plenty of druggie stories for me. Then I made the mistake of reading Chrissie Hynde's book. I had thought she was there for so many things like Sid's last night alive that it must be really engaging. I was disappointed as the first half of the book was about drawing unicorns in high school and all the parts that I wanted to know about, she was too drunk and stoned to remember. Huge disappointment.

I really enjoyed the Netflix series called Pistol, about the Sex Pistols, in which Chrissie was a central character.
I’m sure it was not historically accurate, but are those things ever?
We’ve got Brass in Pocket and My City was Gone on today’s set list.
