Can you explain why as if I’m an …fill in the blank.

a Chemical Engineer? Sure, look at the 16, 8 and 4 Ohm taps on the secondary of the OT. If you plug into the top (EXT) the pressure contact switch will engage the 4 Ohm tap (disengaging the 8 Ohm one) at which point you’ll have the option of a 1 x 4 Ohm cab into the EXT or 2 x 8 Ohm cabs into both, the SPEAKER and the EXT SPEAKER jacks…..make sense?…

Did I ever tell you where I saw them?

105 times.

My theory is that by ‘71, ‘72, ‘73 companies figured out how to record live shows economically, and with good results. They learned from Woodstock and Altamont. That Rolling Sones truck thing just outside and all that. Or similar. CSNY. Uriah Heep Live. Yessongs. Bowie. Wishbone Ash. And so many others. I have some live albums from the sixties, but the only one I think is ok is an Association album. So I think we have Woodstock and the Stones for really starting the live album era. By ‘76, everyone was releasing live albums. Frampton being the king.

As good of an explanation as I've ever heard. Makes sense to me.

From my favorite live album. Best version of Crossroads I've ever heard. The definition of tearing it up. (Cream was the best band Ronnie said he, Allen and Gary ever saw.)

Yes, but I’m not an EE so those squiggly lines are hieroglyphics.

More photos of the 200S. The tube glass was just very clean.

They also have a Sorado. If it’s the combo, might be interested.

Buy it. I had chance on one local several years ago and should have pulled the trigger. It's not like they are all over the place.

Let me just go back a couple pages. I'm sure it's there.

You can finish a wood bass in a chrome coat, Warwick does it with the Robert Trujillo model. Here’s one in blue chrome…

Beautiful!

Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth.

That was going to be my guess, but I was far from sure.

At least you asked first...

Here's a photo I haven't seen of Lemmy playing a Thunderbird in Hawkwind.

 

[Engle]

I wouldn't worry, just run your 4 Ohm into the EXT Sprk with NOTHING plugged into the main spkr....

Chuck, you're the man - Instant answer and solution!

On my Marshall 2031, I didn't trust the integrity of the impedance selector, so I just hardwired one jack for 4 ohms and the other for 8 ohms.

Not playing a TBird. But still my favorite clip.

Yeah. I saw them in 1990 in NY. They were still great.

 

[TBird1958]

That was my best guess, but I was even less sure.

To be honest, I didn’t have a clue who she was.
