Well, I'll be dipped! Chris Robinson does own shoes.

Yeah, who knew.

I just wish they’d open up the custom shop and let us order custom colors.

Just stop with all this logic.

I've never been able to get on with Ampeg heads. Almost like the tone controls are...too extreme? Like the mids seem honky, or the bass seems too boomy or the highs too clicky. I keep trying them as I can, thinking maybe one day I'll stumble on the settings or the Ampeg that makes me get the Ampeg thing, but no luck so far. Guess I'll stick with the Sunns and Hiwatt and Acoustics.

My problem has been with Ampeg cabs. I love most of the heads. It's most of the cabs I can't get along with as I end up with the problems you mentioned. I do love my Heritage 410, however.

OCD

Wondered how long it would take. Apparently not long at all.

Something I’ve always wondered about. It just looks sloppy. (2012 Epi IV bolt-on)

Not pictured, but the nut the neck is 1 7/16”. I love it.

I never thought about string ball alignment before people here started posting about it!

It ain’t Mexican or Sicilian food.

It's not a thing.

I now understand why a tabla player has to begin before he’s three and can only happen when his father is a tabla player….saw what seemed like a 12 year old (no pics allowed inside) playing MIND BOGGLING rhythmic figures at this Sikh temple yesterday that I will never forget…

Ironically I passed on it the first time he talked about selling it. I was grateful to get that second chance.

This is a great club. Pure and simple.

Gibson did at different times. Mine is a 2014. They pop up from time to time.

Interesting. I'm usually happy with the tone of Ampegs, but tend to keep it flat.
Although for recording, I'm happier with my D800 as a DI.

T-bird sighting in the new Black Crowes video.



Also a wurly doing a very impressive organ impression

my my….more NRs…what happened?…

Different thunderbird, I have a 2013 Gibson Bird and I’m struggling setting it up (I’ve been doing setups for more than 35 years). The bridge pickup does raise enough to get a reasonable volume, and if I drop the bridge much lower the string lie on the fretboard more than relief will take care of. Should I get locker pickup screws or risers? Anyone else run into this?

Unless you truly have OCD. Or make it a thing. Hercule Poirot would care.

Someone influential must be lurking here. Or in disguise. Hmmm…

Thanks Agatha.
