Nice Epi!

Yes - she's had it ever since I've been associated with her. Heather Mist Poly.

In life - key connections one makes can change the course of your life. I owe Cherie a lot in this respect - for aiding at a specific time in advancing my creative life as a musician. If you have someone like that in your life - let the know how much they mean to you.

This style is a paradigm shift from what Eiphone has been doing in terms of aesthetics. For now I don't wish that bass.... (for now).



Agreed.

FoH! That's a effing riot(here, anyway).

We played in a total dive bar on Sunday here in SF and amazingly enough they mic'd all our amps and had a few mic's on the drums for FoH.! Not high-tech by any means... but they went to the trouble to set it all up and it sounded pretty good. Gotta take it where you get it.

I bought mics and [stuff] to be able to patch us into the house PA at one of our gigs. Did it twice, then they decided they'd rather play the jukebox full of C&W in the smoker's bar. All of my mic'ing gear sits in a canvas bag never to be used again.

Gotta play to the room I guess...

A perfectly reasonable assumption with our queen!

Good friday. I was just looking at the P-bass on my wall and it does look rather good against that turqoise wall.

But more importantly I'm getting some new strings today so the T-Bird will get a fresh set. It's been too long since the last change.

Custom shop Thunderbird pickups. Supposed to be copies of the original Gibsons.

Too bad they don’t come in chrome. Only nickel.

The first fresh set went into the Telebird #2 that sports TB+ pickups (still waiting for my custom rings to cover up the holes).

Here it is besides the Tele with two singlecoils.

Funny how the slap body looks much bigger than the one with contours.

 

[dagrev]

I checked specs and it’s heavier than I want at 85#. That’s more than the Workingmans 15 I had.

Yes, they are like most Peaveys--built like tanks.
But being on that coast, if rocket man does anything foolish it will survive. You will too if it's on top of you.

 

[dagrev]

Most of y'all would hate the tone I go for, but it's what I want to put forth. Or fifth.

Does a fifth help you achieve the desired tone, or just not care any more?

Just so I’m clear, the VP should have “Epiphone” branded “Pro-buckers” which are desirable, and will be nickel.

Gibson NR’s will be chrome and should at least have a label on the back?

your avatar’s killing me lmao..

I had to do it in preparation for the antics to come.

Yes.

Yes.

Always good to know the circle.... the thing. You know, the bottle thing...

Yes, that's correct.

I have both, well my B15 is ‘65-66. I’d say they compare very well. I run my PF-50T with one or two SVT-210AV, and it cops a very similar vibe to the B-15. No personal experience with the PF cabs however. The cool thing about the PF-50T (and the 20) is that you can also run it without a cab, as a DI, for recording or into an IEM mix.
I highly recommend the PF-50T, and it’s louder than you may think.

I usually run my PF50T with one or two 210AVs, but it also sounds good with Ampeg Classic cabs: 1x15 or 2x10. I could use it for 90% of my gigs.

I had a PF50T, through my 810 at that time.
Just couldn't gel with it.
