Is this the 'how many...' thread?

Was the one about best .... for grunge/punk, something like that.

I don't think i'm all that noble.

Oh right, did look and missed that completely. For the best really.

Might start a 'why did Fneder ruin the Aerodyne P with a friggin J pup next to the bridge?' thread. Potential for epic trolling there.

, Epic bridge hunters of a great magnitude for sure.

Hey, everyone always wonders what Don Cherry will say next; including Don Cherry.

It has been getting that way lately. I still love him though. I did a scene in the movie for him about 8 years ago, I got to hang out with him for an hour with three other hockey players. His son is world class as well. Don calls me "The Hangman" because of my role in the movie. Im the goalie.

Aye Carumba! I hate that song.

Gordon Lightfoot's whiny nasal singing. The wreck of a mundane great lakes freight shipping vessel. Not historical in any way other than being a big boat that sank killing a crew of 29.

True Canadiana - a celebration of the mundane.

Not much worth mentioning happens here........except the great beer strike of 1981 or something. Someone should sing about that.

Now you see, thats what a fanny is!

...and with that they had come full circle...

All of a sudden I see the Sweet album “Sweet Fanny Adams” in a whole new light...

It’s a bleak, upper Midwest Christmas!

They actually have much nicer barns and outbuildings here, but this has a cool Grapes of Wrath vibe.

All the relatives are beginning to show up. The girl might have to consider changing out of her traditional Christmas jammies any time now

Vibey indeed. Everyone else can break out their jams, no?

Good point!

A question for Canadian Bird brethren. There's an earworm I cannot get rid of. It pops up and wriggles around occasionally then has a sleep, then comes back... it is The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Do I need shooting?

I'm not Canadian, but the answer is yes. For your own good and sanity.

I went to listen to it and was sidetracked by 2hrs of Spiders From Mars interviews, which I'll finish later. So it kinda worked.

Oh, well then you are safe. Mental floss.

I certainly see why someone would choose to spend his entire life there...it's the Garden of Eden!

 

[Gaolee]

I pretty much just read em and never comment, lest I come off like a bigger jerk than I already am :/

Some of us don't worry about that very much. It's kinda fun to leak out into the GP on occasion. They have never complained. Beats me why not.

With valve amps it depends on the output tranformer. Solid state amps tend to get bad diarrhea with 'difficult loads'. Being able to drive a 2Ω load without the majick smoke appearing is a sign of a well engineered SS power amp.

That's the realm of ACC. They were made to drive multiple cabinets. As I recall, a 301 cabinet is 4 ohms, which means you can drive two of 'em with a 370. And that's the whole point, isn't it? Taming the average wall of Marshalls is pretty straight forward when you can do that. You don't even need that many watts.

Speaking of Canada (in spirit), Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout.

Yeah, I do recall the Classics were a different shape. It strikes me as a little odd, as Gibson certainly has the dimensions for the originals or at least the means to get them, I wonder why they go with different shapes, especially like this where the Classic and VP have different lower bout. If they were going to reshape the VP from the classic, why not shape it like the original?

The last customer complaint that Gibson ever listened to:

"Dear Gibson,

My friends & I were just talking, and have agreed that you're manufacturing and quality control practices are far too consistent, and feel that your R&D and marketing departments are paying far too much attention to the wants and needs of your customers.

Sincerely,
Henry Juszkiewicz
a fan
Nashville, TN"

(yes... I know much of this was before his time. I just like swingin' at that particular piñata)

They're actually 3.2 Ohms (nominally 4 ohms) But that means the 370 runs at 1.6 ohms!
