Mind is going places with those two stars like that. An inappropriate cover over the unused pickup rout would finish the image. Lace and leopard skin spandex, for instance.

That's why I start my morning here and not with the news or in the GP. There's always some amusing insanity emanating from Europe or Australia or somewhere to make me happy. Elsewhere? The insanity isn't so amusing.
Hate to say it but amp design has come a long way since, the 50s or 60s. After all the SVT amp was designed in 1969. Probably before may of you were born, or for sure playing a bass. In 1969 there was no Apple Computer folks.
I urge you to look into premier Class "D" designed amps. They have come a long way in quality and sound capability.
I''m not talking about cheap designs from Fender, GK, Ampeg, or the rest; But from quality amp builders like Jeff Genzler of Genz Benz fame so many years back. The Genzler MG800 amp can do everything an Ampeg SVT refrigerator can do and much more. And weighs in at 6.25 lbs (800 watts versus a 300 watt SVT Ampeg at 80 lbs -- really??) And so not susceptible to issues with different speaker cabs.
Just saying there are choices, and just deciding on 40 year old "Old School" may not be the right one for many.

And here I was, thinking I was the only one that was the only one to think that.

My Acoustic Control amps are paid for. If I was in the market for an amp, an MG800 would probably be on the list, along with all kinds of other Class D amps. I don't think the specific amp is that easy to pick out for most audiences in most situations anyway. But, paid for and functional is how I roll. My oldest ACC amp turns 50 this year, and it still cranks away just fine.

This is the Thunderbird Club. Why would you ever think you are the only one thinking things that would be inappropriate anywhere else?
Been browsing GenPop too much lately.

I'm quite fond of my GK MB500. Nothing cheap about it.
*wiping away tears of joy*
Thank you.
There is absoloutly no need for anyone to go out into the GP with me here. And Ken was right in his fear of "i'm afraid to ask", notice the JBE pick ups on the desk.
Two staplers! What kind of master stapler are you where you can wield two staplers at once?!
Nice window, BTW... I can only wish I had a window that close to me while I suffer in my cubicle, day in and day out.

Here’s my view to a window in a door to an office that isn’t mine that has windows. Circled in red just to be clear. Anyone here jealous?

By that mentality, you only need one bass! And that’s not a world I wanna live in!
This is at the court house. It's a drag regardless.
They're for, like, different styles of stapling, though, right? I still can't shake the mental image of you as some sort of dual-wield stapling ninja!

Got me beat on that one Larry.

One stapler is used for attorneys that piss me off, to the head is where it goes.
Well there’s standard staples, heavy duty staples. 1/4” staples, 1/2” staples, 3/4” staples… that’s at least 6 staplers!They're for, like, different styles of stapling, though, right? I still can't shake the mental image of you as some sort of dual-wield stapling ninja!
