A rehearsal studio, (of course way back when here in NYC) had a choice of a full on 70’s SVT. And choices of heads.
They had a 370.
My fav was always the 370 on top of that 810.
Hey, I was a punk kid back then.
Now I’m a old fart of a punk.

Kinda glad I'm retired for the most part...
I still haven't gotten a response to the Gibson tractor...(not counting the John Deere post)

The sled worked out quite well, I may start carrying one for winter load ins
I think we have a new reality show! Musician Insanity IslandLOL - I’d like to see Neil Young and Ted Neugent stranded on a desert island with two power feeds, two massive rigs and two guitars. They could each spend the rest of their lives driving each other even more crazy than they already are.
I hate his voice. Sounds like a constipated parrot.I've been listening to the Neil Young Channel a lot lately on SiriusXM, that guy can write, I'll tell you that.
That would be quite the duel.
"I could be happy the rest of my days with a cinnamon girl. Squawk!"
But good garage band songs.
Anyone else remember Q107 in the 80s doing Metal Anne Murray?
Spread you tiny wings and fly away...
Screeching guitar...
And now that I am wandering down the Q107 Rock Report memory lane, they also compiled all of DLRs screams. Then would do "interviews" with him with answers being a selection of screams.

off an '80s Ibanez Roadstar - I have another set on my Dano P
The (SX?) P-style neck and generic (but nice light ash!
) 'loaded' P-style body was given to me for some friend work so I built it up with some nice parts; '80s Roadstar tuners, a Fender PV63 P pu, a Kent Armstrong lipstick pu and custom 250k/100k stacked V pot and T pot. I may install a Tonestyler tone pot eventually. I redefined the 'hooked' hs (looked more Fender-esk), cut a bone nut for it, stripped the amber clear-coat off the neck (left it on the fb) and shot it with satin nitro. For a cheap neck (a new SX bass costs a little over $100) - it's actually very good and the frets had no wear. A nice light 'no worries' bass that plays and sounds good! (for small change)The lighter colored maple fb looks like binding after stripping the amber finish off.
Most definitely. Way underrated. I hadn't seen anything of his in years and watched a clips from about 10 or years ago and I forgot how good he was. His talent is overshadowed by his antics. If anybody but on a rock concert, he did.
I saw him many years ago before he went full bat shiznit crazy... Before he joined Damn Yankees and played the kind of music he said he would never play...
I originally posted the tractor. It was in jest at the time, don’t remember the context of the discussion going on, but to the best of my very limited knowledge on the subject, it is a Gibson tractor from way back, no affiliation with Gibson guitars that I’m aware of. IIRC someone had posted a pic of a vintage (Ford) Thunderbird.
Lamborghini built air conditioning units…(tractors as well)…
