We had him for several more decades than I would have thought we would, given his lifestyle in the 80s.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friends Geoff.

I've not A/B'd them and pair the Little Bastard with a newish EICH 15 ported cab. The Spyder/B15N w/JBL combo character is "chocolatey"/ warm and rich, bringing a specific tube-y JBL sound/tone. This is partially due to the Spyder having a two tube pre and of course the vintage JBL speaker. The Little Bastard is all tube and 30watts with simpler controls. There are some overlaps, but the Spyder has Volume & Gain, whereas the LB has only Volume. So the LB w/EICH 15 cab in comparison is very neutral. It has a nice tube sound but the EICH (cab/speaker) doesn't have an overpowering 'character'. The EICH has an adjustable tweeter which is different from the B15N. (both are ported) I've yet to record using the LB/EICH but I suspect it would be a perfect rig for clean recording. TSC will be recording four original songs before the year is up and I'll be bringing it that day.
In summery, I feel the LB on my B15N cab would probably sound similar to the cab with its '76 Porta-Flex head. Eventually I'll do an A/B on them.
Anyone want a cheap [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]? Mine was in even worse shape than this before I refinished it white.
He outlived Lemmy. That's something.

Thanks Donnie.
One I’ve know since I was about 5 years old. He was nearly 3 years older but our Mums were friendly, and we went to the same schools and Church growing up, and my sister married one of his brothers. So not super close but saw him often until the last few years. Hereditary early onset Alzheimers, what a terrible disease. He would have turned 66 this Friday.
The other was a work colleague for 20 years (approx). Great lady, always great fun, full of life and laughter. She loved all the same 60s 70s 80s Aussie bands and supported the (once) Mighty St George Dragons. We always would have a chat, and often part of a group of us that would go for a pub lunch and a quiet drink. She was a bit older, and her husband had passed maybe ten years ago from cancer, which hit her hard.
If I lived a bit closer I’d put my hand up!

They just slide right down
Don't show those pics here. Some are known to eat things right out of the water!
Beautiful creatures.
used to visit the Del Monte facilities in Puerto Limon when doing a container tracking project about 15 years ago, it wasn't that bad...San Jose felt more unsafe...
That would be a bad thing. Nudibranchs aren't poisonous themselves, but will prey upon creatures and steal their defenses to use against others.
It's also got a sloth sanctuary with a nursery. We paid extra to get access to it.
One day I'll consider getting one of these and gutting it and making it left-handed. The headstock would even be upright. @BuddhaFingas - this could be a fun project for you.
Also, Connie Francis died last Wednesday.
