{GASP} A DALEK!!!

 

[Dadagoboi]

Well, my answer is no to all.

Keep working at it!

 

[theFixer]

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.

NOW, if I can just find a white falcon bass!!!

I played one of those a while ago. It was completely amazing. Being hollow, it was much lighter than the EB-2, but the sound was fairly similar. Before anybody tells me I'm deaf, my EB-2 has a Dimarzio One, not a mudbucker in the neck position.

Didn’t even know they made one. It’d be good looking I’d wager. But well out of my price range (but so is most stuff)

It might be my all time favorite amp, so I tend to agree
Even going all tube again is purely selfish. All my gigs seem to be well received with what I already have, amp wise. My 6SL7 pre and power amp is fantastic sounding, but sometimes I want something a little less squeaky clean.



Maybe so! I can see a lot of potential for a smaller amp like this. Especially recording

Interesting our different perspectives. I’m sitting here thinking 200 tube watts is enormous
TBH my 100w tubester is more than enough for my needs. My wants on the other hand....

Agreed, I think this just looks right. I was thinking about tracking down another Greco TB-II so I can have them in different colors, but if I'm going to repaint them anyways, why not just remove the pup and move the jack on a VP? Maybe wait until they start popping up used, and I can have a II in every color of the rainbow. Or at least in Green, Red, and White.

Italian flag ?

I cringe at the thought of lower end Gibson's coming with a bag instead of a case! I wasn't happy that my $600 Jackson gui*ar didn't come with anything
That being said, I may be biased because my first 3 instruments (2 epi guitars and a Jay Turser bass) were under $300, and all came with nameless hard cases IIRC, but I think that was the store's doing.

Most don't come with cases anymore. I think that's because most guitars never leave the room they're in, so the case is seen as an unneeded expense by the buyer.

Since it seems a lot of this club is a discussion about alcohol love I figured I'd put in my two cents...

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

But the answer is always Thunderbird, no?

I was more than ecstatic about doing it, the only thing that sucked was the bristles stabbing into my freshly shaved skin. What kinda sucked was drinking soup for half of a week due to twisting my adams apple out of alignment. Totally worth it though.

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.

My Eminar 100 is switchable 16/8/4 ohms; but you have to open it up to change the setting. I have it at 8 and with a 410. When (if) I get a second cab I’ll consider having it modded to make it switchable from the rear panel

Yeah, and?

 

[ProgressiveDoom]

Yeah, and?

And my face being plastered across every television screen in Canada.

Was it as good as Slapshot?

 

[ProgressiveDoom]

Sorry that will not do. Is that 4.7% by weight or by volume?

Thats a diet beer by Canadian standards.

 

[RedVee]

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

Fanny is much more polite Sweet shag All

 

[ProgressiveDoom]

Was it as good as Slapshot?

It was a great movie based on the life of Don Cherry, 4 parts, 8 hours total but nothing to this day is as entertaining as Slapshot.

Yeah, family is like that...

Hey... appreciate 'em while ya got 'em
