In the mid-late 90's I bought a new SWR 400s and 4X10 Goliath and only a switch went out at one point - bulletproof and sounds great!

No comment. I think the crazy NY horse has already been beat to death.
The solos in that song drive me nutz. The rest of the song is ok, just wish I could edit the solos out.
Sometimes rock n roll isn't pretty.
I'm considering a Super Redhead combo in trade for a 5 string (Ibanez SR505- the "Toyota"), now that I've scored a six string... yeah... well it just happened...
Hey, Disco Duck and Muskrat Love are my two favorite songs and the greatest musical compositions ever written!
Super Redheads are great sounding bass amps - quite neutral I think.
I have a Working Man 15 120 watts/160 watts with extension cabinets. Very flexible. Right now I only use it for the headphone jack. I live in an apartment. Agree 100%
I know one of them...
I can't muster any ill will toward you; only pity. I feel sorry for you and for anyone exposed to your favourite music.Hey, Disco Duck and Muskrat Love are my two favorite songs and the greatest musical compositions ever written!
I like Red heads. Oh wait, is this the Talkbass website or the "Red Heads are Hot" website?
Wow that is thin! Hmmm, do I take it further?
You've exposed some AMAZING grain right there!I’ve had a productive day making my bird thinner and lighter.

Before you thin it anymore be sure to check the cavity depth you need to fit the volume and tone pots and still have a flush mount cover. 1" at the wing tips is cutting it pretty close. I suppose you could always switch over to smaller alpha pots vs the CTS size if needed.

I measured again and the center section is very close to 1.5", the wings taper from 1-1/4" to 1" (maybe +1/16") - the control cavity depth (on my '64) which is mostly situated in the thicker part of the wing is 1" deep which includes a 1/8" inset at the perimeter for the cover. Sorry for my first #'s - these are more accurate.
Because your control cavity angles into the thin section of the taper you need to account for having material there as the wing tapers to 1", otherwise it will pop through. The wings taper from both sides back and front symmetrically.

It makes me cry every time I hear it (mostly in agony).

McArther Park isn't in the same category as the other two - it's kind of in its own category... with these three - melodrama rock, a category I'm fond of.

I sing that song every time I leave a cake out in the rain.
But, perhaps we can change your tears of agony into tears of joy.
Vanilla Fudge in there. I would be hard pressed to find a song they did that I didn't like...
[edit]
But you are right. The first two fit into the category of novelty crap-pop.

Please don't knock a Jimmy Webb song - that's sacrilege!Wait, don't forget McArthur Park!
