Dude you're right next to Canada now. A side trip to nearest Long and McQuade is warranted.

He's in South Dakota. There's another Dakota in between him and Canada.

My son is 27 now. I lost track of popular culture even with a kid. Actually, he didn't know all that much about it, either, since we didn't watch tv or go to movies. He has turned me on to some great music over time anyway. It's a blessing to have a real musician in the family. The real musician is him, not me.

My brother played guitar. He was most certainly the better musician of the two of us.

Aahhhh yeah. I had the master on the YBA200 up to 2 briefly yesterday. Everything in the room was rattling, including the wardrobe doors.

Speaking of noise, I have been woken on a day off work by an idiot with a motorised high pressure water cleaner directly opposite at 06:06hrs. Him indoors waited for a pause and filled him with a torrent of shouted abuse -- fvckwit, prick, dozy fvcking prick -- the idiot has stopped anyway. A complaint will be submitted. Nothing will come if it. What a world eh?

When I got the speaker back for my 301, I placed it facing out the backdoor, I put the Mesa on top… on full power, master IIRC around 10 o’clock. Talk about feeling the sound!
The current room my stuff is in, has an old bookcase, with drop down doors that don’t have magnets or anything holding it closed. So it rattles at anything over talking level. I just live with it for now.

Wake them up in the middle of the night!

Because there's nothing else ready to go, this again (there's plenty of plate reverb to go round).

What is this music? I really love it!

I would love to promote my favorite but trying to locate one is gonna be a looooong shot. My 1977 Traynor Monoblock B is my go to bass head. Doesnt have all of the fancy bells and whistles that make you tweak and tweak and tweak until you cant tweak anymore. Simplistic raw power with 325 watts of solid state crunchiness. I love this amp like its the last amp on earth.

Wow! Can’t say as I’ve ever seen one. Traynors aren’t super common around here. There is a YBA 200 in Ohio for $500 plus $75 shipping...?

My friend... from the outside lookin' in... I'd say your family has at least TWO "real musicians"!

You're to kind Mike.
EDIT; i wasn't being sarcastic, just in case.

All that, and you could knock a guys jaw clear across the room with it & not have to worry about broken tubes!

 

[theFixer]

At 6 in the friggin' A M?! There are council regulations about such things and besides, the path isn't even dirty.

Perhaps it was retaliation for having knocked all his fine China off the wall with your Traynor

Just for comparison... you can pick up the YBA 200 for about $950.00 new. Assuming the condition is good... that sounds like a nice deal!

 

[kat888]

Is this your band?

Was ... and as I have no intention of promoting them, they will remain nameless. They did try to contact me for a reunion tour a while ago. They were ignored. They are complete arseholes. Life is too short to waste putting up with arrogant FIGJAM pricks like that.

There was a discussion on an internet forum between a bunch of sad twats who think that song is about me. Always nice to have complete strangers talking complete sh!t about you in public. You wonder 'did my employer see the same thing?' -- a stage name isn't such a bad idea.

I was in Sydney's last proper rock n roll record shop a few week ago and saw myself up on the wall in a display. No one mobbed me for autographs though.

Love your playing Kat. And yeah, now i remember you mentioning that. SCREW EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[theFixer]

I gotta call this one like I see it. He plays bass, drums, guitar, and upright, is in a couple different bands, and is willing to transport an ACC 360 rig because he likes the way it sounds. I don't know what Merriam Webster has to say about it... but that sounds like a "musician" to me

Get on it! JUMP!

It sounds like a good deal IF that’s the right amp for me. I honestly don’t know enough about em.

That’s a real shame! The music is fantastic

When you are on the inside listening, you know there's only one. He's not the bass player!

Think so?

What bass are you playing there?

There's a certain joy in being a person about whom nothing is known.

 

[kat888]

$500? Looks like a good price for something you don't see a lot of in your neck of the woods.
