yeah, if you recall (looked but couldn't find) one of their magazine adverts involved pictures of a 2000S into a 2 x 15 cab putting out a match….very effective marketing….my first rock rig was a white 4001 into a 2000S (paid 200 bucks for it) into a Sunn 4 x 12 cab……man! tone for days! really wanted a 2 x JBL 15 box but it wouldn't fit in the back of my 76 RS Camaro where the 4 x 12 would….

Would love a 412 Sunn to match up with my 215. Not sure the neighbors would appreciate it. But just once…

Great pic! Practicing your Bill Wyman, or do you normally play with the neck that high? A few do.

I just held it that way for the photo. I play just a little bit higher than level usually. I definitely do remember the Wyman stance though.

You guys with your youthful looks are making me feel bad. The more I think of it I look old even though I try to dress hip.

I know what you mean and I'm 59. Clearly I need to be even more immature.

I have that market cornered, ask my wife.

I used to get both of them in the back seat of a 4 door '64 Chevy, it was not fun though.

He's the only player I've ever seen with one of those, Framus, I've never tried one.

I recorded some stuff years ago with an SVT head through a 4 x 12 guitar cab, not real loud obviously but it sounded great.

So I'm placed in front of a brick wall , blindfolded and a cigarette dangling from my lips and I scream .... " I can't stand Bob Seger !! " What happens next ?

you get spared?….

I'll take it. I thought the first response would be someone yelling "Fire !!" Lol

All fake pictures. There wasn't a single beer bottle in any of them...

Beer? Why drink that when there's perfectly good bourbon in the house?

Well, Marshall was leaning on the "Buick" and George seemed to be holding him up, or leaning on Marshall holding himself up. We don't really know what went on. Clearly not enough pictures.

Yikes! If that's a Buick I clearly need more alcohol to drink. Using bar logic, Maybe after a dozen beers and sometime past midnight she'll look more like a Porsche again.

Not a single brain cell was harmed.

And all eardrums are still intact. Heck, my wife didn't even complain about all the china in the house shifting positions.

It's alive!

Sweet ride! Love what you've done to that Karman Ghia (or is it a Buick)

For the blink of an eye, I thought the bass was right on the asphalt... that would be

LOL - ain't gonna happen in this household!

Fantastic news Marshall, really happy for you man.
And looks like you and George had a bit of a blast there.
Love it!!!

That I did. Marshall is a great guy, with a good ear and even with his wrist injury was still running around the fretboard with ease. Wish we could have had more time together, and wish I could have joined the crowd in the Santa Cruz area for the GTG there. Maybe next time.

Next west coast GTG, our Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and the rest of the WA folks need to come. And I'm thinking there is an OR member or two…and Irv definitely needs to make the border crossing.

That would be a blast!

Thunderbird Club members are always welcome at our place. Bring a Thunderbird or three. We're 13 miles west of I5 near the top of Tejon Pass between L.A. and Bakersfield. Our backyard is the eastern edge of the Los Padres National Forest. Here's the view as I type this…..

Oh how I'd love to wake up to that every morning! What a wonderful view!

I held an old Framus that someone was considering restoring it. It had a remarkably thin neck across the neck. Pencil neck I guess

I think that's what Bill liked, he either had small hands or was just small period. He was pretty much the first fretless electric player.

Freudian slip maybe?

For those wanting to save some money and live here.


After watching I might consider moving...

@GBassNorth is it a Buick?
