Still have 2 half stacks and a single rec head to put in the room. Which is running out of room lol

Yeah, I'm actually building a shelf system in the closet this weekend to stack my amps here at the house. All the stacks are still at the warehouse though, they aren't going to fly here.

Black Fenders are like black dogs at the pound. It's hard to find a home for them.

Someone at CBS in 1967 before unveiling the Silverface Amp Line.

 

Also, I'll take a black Strat with a rosewood board any day.

Completely unrelated to amp stands, but tangentially related to amps…

Cannot verify the veracity of this post.

I've heard Sklar discuss it.  It's incorrect, sort of. He had a fake switch, because producers didn't understand that he could change his tone by repositioning his hands and addressing the strings in a different manner.  They used to ask him to change instruments and/or amps before he installed the fake switches.   The guy's a pro's pro.  Also of note: never a drop of alcohol or a drug.  Not once.

Digging myself some Gary Richrath tonight.  I'm not quite sure how he gets a Les Paul to quack like a Strat, but good for him, I'll add it to the infinitely long list of "things I can't do on guitar":
 

I always loved this version from the Midnight Special



I always heard he had his wah half open to get that tone. Either that of the curly que guitar cable.

PSA: Old Midnight Special episodes is a great YouTube rabbit hole to go down.
I saw them in 79 on the Nine Lives tour, before Cronin pussified the band.  It was a fantastic show.  I LOVED the way Richrath moved with the guitar. 
 

Great vid. I would have thought Cronin had already turned them into Air Supply by 85.

I just walked by Marcus King and his extremely flamboyant wife in the Miami airport. We were both moving quickly in opposite directions so I didn’t get a pic. /csb

That's one of those celebrity couples that makes one say "it's a good thing Marcus is extremely talented".

Should I be worried that this seller is trying to sell to me direct and bypass Reverb? I understand Reverb’s fee is about 14% so I get it. 

I have been so approached in the past and I’ve declined, mostly due to not having buyer protections from Reverb when buying outside their platform.  If you take them up on that, it’s just a private sale between you and someone you haven’t met to buy a guitar that you haven’t played that will be shipped across the country to get to you.  That’s more risk than I am willing to accept.

It’s a local pickup for what that’s worth, and he says it’s been serviced at a shop I’m familiar with. It’s that same Strat listing I posted earlier.

Yeah, if it’s a local pickup and you have the opportunity to play/inspect, that would mitigate the issues I brought up.

The fact that his wife’s maiden name is “Hussey” is absolutely amazing!

My friend who buys and sells on Reverb does this all the time to avoid the Reverb bite. Mainly with local stuff though.

I’m inclined to agree with Goreho on the out of town stuff.

Coil splitting (out of phase), maybe?

Oh, by 1980, he had already started.   My comment was referring to seeing them in 79.

He said excuse me and then tore the house down with some of the nastiest guitar riffs you ever want to hear

That live video of "Golden Country" is hilarious.  Cronin is still in his "can you tell I want to be Robert Plant?" mode.  

Tangential note:  we voted that song as our senior song in high school.  One fundamentalist chick protested because it contains a reference to rape.  We were forced to re-vote and ended up with "Come Sail Away" by Styx.  I mean, I don't hate that song, but seriously?  Welcome to conservative rural Missouri.
