  1. lol
  2. This is the god's honest truth.
  3. Theres some Afghan weaver out there who would be very offended if they had internet
  4. Trying to keep the carpet pee-r out (the dog)
  5. With the 58 off getting silk screen on headstock, got old baby doll out of the case for a bit.
  6. It's a great read.
  7. I'd rather punch myself in the dick
  8. I honestly think they were on fumes at that point anyway. Page was deep into addiction, Plant was one foot out the door already. They maybe could have pulled a Stones and reformed in the 90s, as Page and Plant sorta did, but I think Zeppelin as a force was close to done.
  9. As a non pedal person, I have to say this thing brings the fucking goods. Running it on 18v and it is dead on that sound. Keen to get this Hiwatt here and really crank it.
  10. 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.
  11. It's always a great touchstone in a sea of insanity like we have today
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. And the crazy part is like 90% of parts sound better with them not on 10
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
