That's fun stuff I like it.

54-40 Refers to a boundary dispute between the U.S. and Canada for those of you needing an historical factoid.

Always great to get out and see a show! Glad they’re still touring.

Love me some 54-40! Glad to see they’re still rocking it!

Still put on a good show. And I am happy that they can make a living making music. I think tonight is the last show before they go on an Xmas break. Tour resumes in January around S. Ontario..

Quick glance I thought you said S. Orlando. Living in FL will do that to ya.

I was out last night to see 54-40. Canadian Alt/Grunge/Pop rockers from the 90s.

Simple 3/4 chord songs with great grooves.

Is She-la a spillover Aussie thing?

Nice. Bigger than I need and I don't wanna be schlepping the rest o' the band.

54-40 or FIGHT!

agree but unfortunately, access to some of the venues we play requires all wheel capability this time of year..

 

[Gaolee]

This just popped up on local Craigslist. For those of you that are into these, does the price seem high for this?

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Yep. Priced too high. If it was a 320 head and 406, the price would be more in line. I do not know what the replaced driver would do to what it sounds like, either. It might be ok.

 

[Gaolee]

totally agree, some collectors would happily pay that though...about 2 years ago I paid 200 for a 220 and a 402 cab. the head wouldn’t come on but all it needed was a power switch. traded it for a Schecter 5 string about 2 weeks later.....ACC stuff just doesn’t do it for me..

ACC collectors are nuts. I have quite a bit of it, because it works for me. If it didn't, it would not be around.

They are local to me.
I always wished their songwriting was a little more adventurous, but they have made a long career of it.

Somehow I didn’t picture you driving a Honda minivan.

No kidding! In my mind Scott drives an F450 dually flatdeck towing a race car trailer full of vintage cabinets, heads & basses.

 

[godofthunder59]

Yeah. I'd love one o' those. But I wanted sumpin' with a warranty and those are too many $ for my budget.

Bought it new it did have a warranty

My first thought as well!

 

[dagrev]

Yessir! Cooler now...

My oldest cousin once had a 1968(?) New Yorker 2 dr convertible that had one. The only time I've ever seen one in a car as I recall.

No doubt, pretty fervent following..

Not even going to take a pic of my Chrysler Town and Country Limited! It does have black leather interior. Black is still a thing, right?

Hmmmm. In my mind Scott was always riding some kind of Indian Larry motorcycle. I never gave any thought to how his gear showed up at gigs.

Limo.

The van is a ruse to fool groupies.

In my constant quest for the illusive perfect string match, I slapped on a oldish set of GHS Boomers on my white VP. I really liked it. Big thick bottom and just enough mid and upper crunch. Might turn into a thing. I don't like Boomers on a lot, but sometimes it's a great match.

 

[Count Bassie]

The construction team who was building our gazebo saw the old upright piano in our den and asked my sweetheart "who plays?". They had been looking for a keys player forever. I ain't no Billy Powell but when I auditioned I noticed the bass player also plays a thunderbird...a blackbird to be exact. You can see it on a stand behind him after my shaky piano solo. That Leon fella was a really good bassist and liked his birds. Anyways these folks rarely get together but they are very good at what they do.

Pretty good! It's a relaxed sound they have, enjoyable to listen to. The riffs are there, but it's a different take on the performance. Nice.
