Can't wear the dress until after Memorial Day IIRC.

Hiya GBass...yes, it was you, I remember...
Thanks for clearing that up for me...as I told Bob, I come from the country originally, my Dad and friends having restored old Iron like that.
Cool. I’m a Porsche fanatic and was quite surprised when I first saw one of these at a Porsche club meet…

…yes, it’s the same company.

Fair enough...
I'm getting a kid out of this TBird Club...so many subjects going on at once...
I take it this is "White TBird Wednesday"?
Followed in a couple of days by Tbird Black Friday…

Maybe so, but we obviously saved the best for last!

Yes, I know, and I've been hoping for Epiphone to liven up their line for years.
Ebony, Alpine White, Vintage Burst...ho-hum, year after year after..and I thought Fender had no imagination!
Bright Cherry would really be great, even Pelham Blue would nice.
I still wish they’d do a custom shop “pick your own color” thing.
 
Say no more! I have wanted a Coliseum too and especially that old first version. I blame Entwistle.
At least I had a good sense to buy the 1977 Hiwatt DR103 in 1997 for a fraction of a price they go now. And when I started to look for an old cheap but reliable solid state head as a spare I initially thought I'd end up with a Peavey Mark III or IV or similar (not that there's anything wrong with those) but eventually got a Lab Series L2 for a ridiculous price. Now I have another L2 and an L4 too. Superb amps, they have never let me down tone- or volumewise.
I had to sell my Lab L5 guitar amp to pay bills when I went back to college. Best SS guitar amp I ever played through.
 
How much pain can you inflict with that setup?

I haven't tried it in a band setting yet. I bought it as a recording amp (the head came with a 210HE) and I bought a 115HE to see if it would sound any different (I was thinking B15)m and found that it sounds a little different, but EQ seems to make more of a difference. It can get impressively loud though!
