I'm shorter.
I'm heavier.

This stuff is confusing. Translates into you being more Stoned then?

I think most Uni’s have clubs I know UCI had both men’s and women’s. The after game keggers were legendary. And the hooker on the women’s team was really cute.

In case no one has said it yet, "Who would want an ugly one?"

I'll leave now....

And that's why it works for weight loss.

This is from 2016 (7 yrs ago! ~yowza!~) - sound-man recorded our pre-set sound-check with only a couple friends in the club, one of whom filmed it. I am playing my highly modified P/J with a Marty Bell sparkle finish.

I’m at the mountain place. They say Sunday snow, Tuesday rain, Wednesday and Thursday snow. I’m outa here Monday.

Stay safe. Being ignorant of that area, is your place prone to landslides?

It's been a long time since I played through on of those Fenders. Don't remember a thing about them.

I´m
1,85m = 6.06ft
95kg = 209,43lb

Glad we have that visual now.

Not really. So long as the natural slopes haven’t been altered.

 

[GonePlaid]

True enough. But I think you left out the 2 days of Winter, then back to Summer.

Yes. Those two days of less than 40F make the oranges sweeter.

One of the guys I was in the Navy with had an interesting 'take' on that. Ugly=less used.

It sounds really good, and you can get just about anything out of it.
Maybe that's why you don't remember anything about them, they kinda don't have a 'baked in' sound you have to work around.

I think the bottom on the MK-III is tighter, and it's also loud as hell. Since I could use the bread and don't need to carry the 80 lb head (life is too short to work that hard for simple things), I'm hoping the Peavey makes the grade.
Last time I tested them together it was found, afterwards, that the MK-III wasn't letting the low freqs through. Now it sounds a good deal different. If it carries rehearsal today, we have a winner.
I'm losing either way, I'm also winning either way.

And of course, the Thunderbird CP will be our tester for today.

It was right after your Argentina post. What were we supposed to think?

what’s this “we”…I think everyone else got it….

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

A lot of the places we play were most definitely not designed for live music, thus a shortage of electrical sockets, so we hafta choose what gets plugged in and what gets eliminated. Also the time factor: we can't set up until ~1 hour b4 downbeat 'cos the band 'space'(not stage or stand)is being used for something else. Such as BINGO or whatever.

nuther genius feature on Fender amps was the extra socket wired parallel in the back..

Never having played thru either rig and just going on what I’ve seen and heard over the years, my money is on the Fender head, but a different cab. A head like that needs a Mesa Boogie Powerhouse (410+15) cab, or a Bergantino 412 cab.

 

[Gaolee]

Despite the neck dive, they’re so comfortable and easy to play.

As a six string, it doesn't dive at all. And it weighs about as much as an acoustic guitar. The pickups sure are aggressive on mine. Keep the volume rolled off, way off, or you get lots of instant crunch.

 

[Gaolee]

When I played, I don't recall any women's teams. I find it odd that women want to play such a rough sport. And I am equally mystified by women's MMA. But, if that is what they want to do, that is their choice.


The aftergame kegger is fun for the "singing".



1. Ahem
2. It was always fun to tell people that my dad was a hooker. I was not a hooker; I played wing.

I was a flanker. I got to hit everybody.

I use a power strip/power conditioner. Lots of problems solved that way.

Good mornin'

And a fine morning to you as well…

Well I'm not able to put together the high-end ultimate kind of rig here. There is compromise... Fact is the 810 is the oomph here really, in the wall of 8 speakers in sealed compartments. The Fender will probably have the edge, but if the MK-III delivers, I'm going to sell off the Fender.
If the Fender is a mile or two, obviously better and it makes a difference in the quality of the band mix, then there I'll be.

I'm not betting it's going to do that, but we'll see!
