  1. This is something I've tried to explain to people for years, but to no avail. Russia is the eternal enemy, not just to the US, but to the entire world. They are, without any hyperbole, the most malign global presence for the better part of 500 fucking years.
  2. It's always a great touchstone in a sea of insanity like we have today
  3. I can see where this would be true for a lot of people. I've been a book reader basically my whole life though, even the interwebs can't pry me away from reading.
  4. I've found a Boss CS2 works well for that. Anything without too much pumping. A lot of amps and pedals are kind of like that anyway without a compressor, later Marshalls and stuff are already so compressed they don't get louder, just more distorted.
  5. And the crazy part is like 90% of parts sound better with them not on 10
  6. Oh both. When I say keep up, both are pretty ripped up at that point if we are playing loud passages. Cleaner in the soft passages. I haven't channel switched an amp since probably 1998, so this is all guitar volume knob dependent. The '59 is probably on 6 normal/4 bright volume, the '66 I run around 6 or 7. The '66 is definitely for overdrive though, Social Distortion type songs. The tweed is used for a lot more varied stuff. Live shows I've just used my Jubilees for 20 years.
  7. Yeah I'm excited about it, I'm thinking into the Hiwatt will be fantastic. I've been playing the Mick slide stuff from All Down the Line live '72. I have a Suhr RL in the music room at home at the moment for noodling and demo work, these are all for recording, which is a 50 x 75 space with 25' ceiling. The only Fenders I have that will keep up are the Bassmans. Ha, no it's a function of clean and loud. I've always felt a 100w Marshall half stack is basically the single most perfect amp for a rock band. I've measured them a bunch of times, and in the sweet spot on MV amps, around 7 or so on the master, and about 10 feet away, it's always right around 95 to 100db, just about a perfect match with a drummer.
  8. Yeah I think the one in Texas is a '73. The one I picked up is a '74 out of Liverpool, hand signed by Harry Joyce, all original except tubes. The main reason I got it was I needed a amp that stayed cleaner louder, the Marshalls just aren't doing it. Even the clean channel on my JCM 900 dimed wasn't overly loud. The other option was a black or silver Twin, but I honestly felt the Hiwatt could be more versatile. Of course I have another amp on the way besides this that I teased a few posts up in the thread, which was a total curveball that just popped up and and couldn't pass up. I have a problem apparently. I did buy a Catalinbread SFT since I've been on a huge Mick Taylor Stones kick to save me from buying an Ampeg V4 lol, so small victories on my compulsions.
  9. One of my guys at work is supposed to get the Lejune settlement. He's all about some Trump, I'm 100% going to needle him if he doesn't get it after all.
  10. I played a BD 2 today for the first time in eons, and goddamn its criminal how good those things sounds.
  11. The amp stockpile is getting a little out of control, I think i need to think the heard a little. Gonna go ahead and move the JCM 900 I bought on a random bender I think. If anyone is interested I'd be happy to let it go to one of yall on the cheap
  12. Everything from his comedy to his TV work completely flies in the face of this from my perspective. I just get a sense that like Trump, people project what they want on these guys instead paying any attention to who they actually are.
  13. As I said to @Al_4_ISU, I'm truly not hating on you or anything. I'm just stumped and don't get it, which is probably as much an indictment of my blind spot as anyone. Another guy I've hated on for decades, Elon Musk. Was so obvious.
  14. Yeah, I mean I get that's how it went down, but I truly don't get how you didn't cotton on earlier, it was just so apparent. And I'm not bagging on you or anything, I'm truly mystified with what people look at with other humans, celebrities in particular. I just don't get how these people slide by large segments of the population.
  15. He was literally the exact same guy. It's the same as Trump, a guy I've despised since about 1988 when I was still in school. Their issues have been on full display their entire lives, I truly just have no idea what people are looking at when they see some of these people, it's not anything subtle but blatantly obvious personality traits. It's like the leopards thread with every regretful voter, "oh who could have known?!" Um, like every non moron? The guy making people eat roaches on Fear Factor and tells lame bro jokes in his standup is a shithead, doesn't take a MENSA level psychologist to figure that one out.
  16. Will never not be fascinating to me that his podcast is what turned people off Joe Rogan, as opposed to his entire way of being his whole fucking life.
  17. Where you been hidin brosef, they have been back for years.
  18. Hiwatt DR103 that the guy didn't want to ship. I scored another one though.
  19. Yeah, I've driven through there but it was like 25 years ago. At any rate I found another amp from someone who would ship, so that problem took care of itself.
  20. Am I correct in thinking Hawkins Texas is in the middle of nowhere?
  21. The are really really good, and on top of that Steve Fryette is one of the best dudes around. Can't recommend highly enough.
  22. Which is wild to me too, as it seems like he has always been around. I remember the Stray Cats as a pretty little kid. He was just young as hell. Typically breakover angle has the biggest impact on this. One reason I top wrap my LPs. But on a Strat or Tele reverse stringing would have an effect as it flattens the angle on one side and steepens it on another. String trees make a difference too.
  23. Yeah I saw this yesterday on TGP. Real bummer, Brian was a huge influence on me, and is by all accounts a really great dude.
