Well hello there young man.
Tell me about that Traynor.

Aww listen Bro, its like a friggin' fairy tale for real. I was the first guy to respond to the ad posted for the Traynor and I told the seller I could not get to him for 3 days, the price was ridiculosly bargain basement and he agreed to hold it but he never took off the ad and I feared that some big greasy mover and shaker was going to slide into the sellers head with the whole "Hey man I'll give you ten dollars more than the chump your holdin' for is paying" and it would be gone without me. The seller was true and I brought it home immediately with this great big childlike grin and giddiness I plugged in and set the volume immediately to 5 and after 10 minutes I literally stood back and stared at this monster as I was shaking like I had been through a traumatic experience. 3 hours later I felt nervous just thinking about the whole experience. This 1970's 325 watt beast makes my 1977 Yamaha B100 and 1999 Peavey Mark3 sound like childrens introduction to music instruments. This is by far the greatest bass piece of amplification I have ever known, at my jam practice I had to turn my volume down from 3 to 2 because we couldnt hear our guitarist. Sounds like my 1973 Traynor 15 watt tube but 100 times louder. How bout that sweet new EB3?, all fresh in love about it right now, like to customize me a Tort guard for it.

Porridge? As a kid we had it much like @kat888 described, oats water and a pinch of salt but cooked on the stovetop. Mum & kids had brown sugar for sweetening, but Dad (when he had some (generally toast & black tea every morning) sometimes put a dab of butter on top, let it melt a little, add milk and eat. Mind you he sometimes had a tasty cheese and strawberry jam sandwich. Child of the depression.

I have a mid 90's Peavey B-Quad with stereo - but it was adjustable for each string! Now that is totally useless! I redid the harness w/a Bartolini and it is now much more useable (w/o that extravagance) and sounds just as good or better. Just because something can be done doesn't always mean it should be done.

I had a B-Quad for a couple of years too. LOVED the feel of the neck!! Way too much going on in the electronics dept. tho. Still probably my favorite neck size ever.

Any of you Seattle-area people had any beer from Holy Mountain Brewing? I had their Demonteller when I was in DC and it was fantastic. I’d love to try more of their stuff, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t come to NY. Probably doesn’t even make it out of Seattle much.

Ken, I haven't hear of it but that's not surprising at all as there's an overabundance of beer here. I will try to find some for you if you like.
