Thanks George.
I’ve always loved this particular series.
Can’t wait for it to come.
Thanks! I took a leap of faith and so far so good, Hopefully you will get to play it some day so you can judge firsthand.
I like the M6 Carbine’s simple voice control dial. You can set and then forget your basic bass, mid and treble setting and then use the dial to select from two scooped and two bumped settings. Simple versatility.

That is a great pic!"That" shot. Last Wednesday evening was a great show for us, the crowd was simply fantastic, we've played a lot of shows over the 21 years of the band, but very few felt as exceptional as this one. To be sure, we'll always feel like we could play better, and we cocked a couple songs up, mostly in tempo, so it wasn't a perfect show, but our enthusiasm was off the chart.
To quote my uncle who was International Harvester's world-wide troubleshooting engineer: "Never worry about being right, just make damn sure you are."
Interesting guy. He had high expectations for everyone, and expected them to be met. The family saying was: There's the wrong way, the right way--and the Roth way. He was offered IH's main plant but turned it down so my cousin could stay in HS here and go Speed School to be an ME.
I like the fact my Rumble 100 weighs 22#. I can get it to make noises I'm happy with.
(or, with which I'm happy)
She's busy and has her hand's full with you. According to her.
Thanks to this post I bought a set and finally have weights on my birds. They range from 8 lb 13 oz (the CP) to 9 lb 15 oz (VP. The Grecos and Epi IV all come in about 9 lb 1 oz and the purple 64 Epi hits 9 lb 8 oz. I knew how they were relative to each other; interesting to find out the actual weights.
I can honestly say I had not thought about it it. But likely true. I'm still hung up on that infinities of infinities thing. Talk about mind blowing. It's like a Dead concert with no music or drugs.
Would said infinities be within, beside, above the other infinities?
Is this like: Is light a particle or wave?
(Answer is yes.)
Finally got the A100k pots to pair with @Matt Kustom (NINE ONE SIX) prototype sidewinders.
Final wiring Series :
Works really well output is good . Smoothed overall tone !! Blending works really well
Tone goes deep
* notes*
When both on full, output is fat and strong.
Turning down tone, small drop in volume, but treble reduction starts immediately.
Tapers smoothly treble down to DUB.
When blending pickups:
Roll either volume, and small volume drop, and a small amount of mid scoop.
Loudest of course, is middle (full series)
Full bottom, present mids, subdued (in a good way!) treble.
Can solo either pickup.
Really cool.

Never cared much about weight.
Don’t get me wrong, there are benefits to light weight instruments.
But it’s more about the balance.
And a good back and shoulders.
My back, that’s still good.
Shoulders?
But what I can’t handle anymore is heavy cabinets.
Don’t mind an amp under 30pds.
But a heavy cabinet is a whole different story.
