100Watt all tube. Reminds me of the Kustom stuff from back then although I could be wrong, don't think Kustom made any tube stuff..

AFAIK, Kustom was all SS. I was just told that Kustom actually sued Plush over the tuck & roll design, but don't know about the outcome. A few weeks ago i actually started a 'Plush brand' thread here to learn a bit more about them, and a (very) few TBers own them in various configurations > PLUSH brand

I'd love to put my early 70's V4B on top of that cab for a side by side test!

I read somewhere that some of those Plush cabs came loaded with Altec's.
But can't seem to find much info otherwise.

I'm not familiar with them, but that's a great question to pose in the thread linked above. If you don't, i will

Funny you mention...by the end of the session I had jumped to this...

Oops!

Ah, better.

Mesa has a cab w/ 1x15 and 4x10s plus a horn in one enclosure. Lightweight, I'm sure.

I went back and looked at specs: 137#-or for 1# less you can get 4x12s. Think I'll stick w/ my R200C and avoid the hernia(s)

Wonder what this setup sounds like...

I would like to hear the difference as you turn up the speed of the reverb
The porthole escutcheons are a nice touch!

Reminds me of the stories about the number of refinishes Chris Squire had done to his wired for stereo 4001. I’m always casually looking for a Ric. But not at that price in that condition. I wonder how it plays. Hard to tell what the frets might be like. It must me pretty solid though. I wonder what its story is.

It dropped to $1600 this morning. (Which is still 2x what it should sell for IMO) It’s on Vancouver CL if anyone is interested. I’d be happy to scope it out - it’s close to my house.

There was a Plush head like that for sale locally for $100 a while back. It was already gone by the time I called about it. I was going to jump all over it - tuck 'n roll AND tubes. I think it was an outrageous color, like metal flake teal Naugahyde. Maybe not. I don't remember now. The fates and some other guy who got there quicker saved me from myself.

Since that one is in Seattle, I wonder if it's the same one.

yeah, looked around a little and they don't seem to stay "for sale" very long at all..

I don't get ads. I did for awhile b/c adblock plus crashed, but not now.

2nd last workday at home. Get the dressing removed this morning and then free to shower, shave etc without needing to keep the cut dry. Yay, small win but I’m happy

For sure. I always liked his playing - the long walks on the Chuck Berry tunes from Get Yer Yayas Out.
It was funny to see their expressions up close. Bobby Keys comes out at one point and nobody (except Charlie) even acknowledges him for a few songs or leaves space for his playing.

I like Williams' playing. He's like watching a carpenter put joists and other structural elements where they ought to go in the construction of a house.

I like both Bill W & Cliff W

Hmmmm............. I usually get ads for dresses and girlie undies

Another new one to me. I had no idea Chris Squire ever played one..

Is that an 8 string ? Or just shadows from the 4 strings tricking me ?

Looks like 8 over the pups, but 4 over the neck.

Yep, Kustoms and Kasinos were all SS. I was a fan of the less expensive, tolex covered Kasinos back in the early seventies as we has a dealer in our town. Never saw a Plush brand amp anywhere except in a magazine picture.

i had to look up 'escutcheons' and yea, this whole setup is a good example of the carpet matching the drapes nicely.

I didn't have any luck getting the reverb going. I haven't had any alone time with this head, and i think the guy who gave us the keys said it does have issues ... damned if i can hear them

It's not the same one unless you consider black an outrageous color

A hundred bucks??? And you're glad u missed it??? Probably Wife related

Are you guys complaining about ads on a desk/laptop or mobile? Cuz i only ever get one across the top on my phone (the only place i regularly use TB these days), and i don't use any ad blockers.
