Yep, it's my "house coffee"
Peet’s is definitely good stuff. I have come to like Lavazza for my home machine, wake up to it every day.
No, If I'd've tooken the pic, it woulda been fuzzier-and had more trains in it.
Bonus! Not that I have or will know both.Howza 'bout both?
I've been playing with the current lineup since 2014, most weekends pre-covid. Bookings have dropped off since then, but still working 3-4 gigs a month. Band is usually pretty tight, but the jazz influenced drummer and I don't seem to ever quite be on the same page. It's sometimes frustrating when there's a perfect spot for an accent, or a triplet rhythm, or (?), but he's more into random kicks. At least he rarely plays too loud.
I'm not an 'at home' player, so gigging with these guys is basically all I've got and there isn't a lotta call for a 77 y/o, somewhat overweight bass player in this area. Even the occasional jams have tapered way off around here, and I'm really not enthused about schlepping all my
just for S&G. I'll do it for an inside gig, but not for an afternoon, outside thing when it rains damn near every afternoon and there's a mad scramble to protect gear. BTDT, ain't gwine do it again.

Making a long story short, when I was in the SSF, one of my friends had his two week old jeep burned on the parade square. He was picked up by the MPs about 5 minutes after the fire and he was taken off base for protection. He had a day or two of administrative leave before being posted for his safety. Perpetrators never found as they ran a very effective distraction campaign and no one talked.
There must be a reason for it in the production process. Probably saves material.
Here’s the front of my gold Casady headstock with the faceplate removed:
Not really(I won't pay their prices, but my daughter does). Depends on the store. Some are good; some not so much-according to her.
Recently saw a single malt Scotch named Loch Haim.(Kosher, BTW)
But are they 'tube' volts?
Already have a Sunn SS, so only interested if I can compare tube watts.But are they 'tube' volts?
