There's no place I could put it in my house!

I managed to "fit" an 810e in the living room of my small? (600 sq ft) apartment........

.......surely an actual house has plenty of room you could exploit, if you get creative?

Believe me Irv. A trip north is at the top of the priority list as soon as I can stop working for the clampdown. The target date is 03/01/2025. I can pick up Will, Veronica, Frank and anyone else in WA. @Border? Anyway you could pick that up and hold it a couple of years?

Count me in! I am always up for a road trip. I have friends and family in the Seattle area, and I always enjoy going north of the border. This late snow is not going to last. Better weather ahead.

That Shirley gal sure gets around!

I’ve got to get up and visit Irv too.

We'll invite Irv down from Van and Border from Spokane - unless you'd like to try and cross the border with a Queen, the body cavity search at Canadian customs can be a bit much.....

Fireside in Burien for beer and comfort food, the 909 for drinks and Italian.

This sounded reeeally good today. Mostly used the neck pickup. One song I used a pick and both seemed the better option.

Saturday night entertainment material (get some popcorn ready) - I saw this cheezy sci-fi movie (when new) in 1962 as a nine yr old in an Omaha Nebraska movie theater called the "Chief Theater" - with a big (stylized) buffalo nickel "chief" profile neon marquee. (since torn down) When you entered - they gave us a (free!) packet of "Triffid seeds" (sunflower seeds) to scare us, presumedly as part of the marketing.

It's actually a very provocative story-line (other than plants that kill and move around) because of the "meteor shower" that no-one could look away from, blinding the worlds population with the exception of those who for whatever reason didn't witness it. "gee - look - pretty lights in the sky". It crippled me as a kid but I survived...

I remember that movie. It was awesomely awful.

That is a wonderful cabinet. Run a 320 head into it and it is stellar. That is the slightly littler brother of a 408 cabinet. It is dirt cheap, too.

 

[Gaolee]

They should be aluminum or some alloy to be lightweight. I've never had that issue with hipshot ultralights. I'll check the ones in my parts drawer later.

The only tuners in my parts drawer are tuners the hipshots replaced.

I bought a set and then I bought a Dtuner. Then I bought a 5 string set because it was a deal.

How did they come up with their numbering? I was expecting 40 6"speakers.

Who knows. A 360 cabinet is a powered folded horn cabinet with an 18. A 301 is basically the same only unpowered. A 406 has a couple front firing 15s. A 408 has two front firing 15s and two 15s firing at each other in a slot between the front firing drivers. An 811 is a PA speaker with four front firing 15s. An 812 cabinet is a midrange horn with six piezo drivers if I remember right.

Confused? The head and power amp designations don't make any more sense.

That is a problem. It is why I let the 320/408 stack go.

You guys are fire!

I was saving a spot for a vintage Acoustic Rig but Mrs Gator won’t give up the washer and dryer

my second amp was an Acoustic 136.always on the lookout for sentimental reasons.
Cheers!

My first "real" amp was a 126 combo. I still have it and use it at a rehearsal space in the drummer for that band's basement. It is bulletproof.

I had a 106 Cab, which had 2 x 15s...
