it, but eliminated the carrying deal. If you use big enough wheels, you can
still negotiate grave (hah).


I took up pedal steel. It and the Twin balance each other and now I
just get shorter and shorter as I walk in.

I'm a pedal pusher too. The cure for all that is no road work, no one
nighters. Nothing but sit downs. The last 10-12 years I played a lot were all
sit downs. It adds to the age and not to the aging process. Of course the
cigarettes, booze and etc didn't help. After listening to that Twin in my ear
for all those 30 years has 'em ringin' a little.

When I started, it wasn't so bad because the loudness thingy hadn't caught on.
You could actually hear the singer and we didn't have floor monitors either.
The last ten years, I could see his lips move but no sound. With some of the
singers, that was a good thing.

P.S.

Original twins used plywood.

That's what I thought, so I was really surprised to see the jumble of broken
particle board inside the rental 80s Twin.


But it was "vintage" particle board, right?

LOL! Probably. That's why it returned to its natural state: particles.

Since everyone seems to be voting in with their favorite amps here...

Been using the Badcat Mini Cat lately for recording and it's just
great. The whole Badcat line is terrific. Not cheap, but great sounds
and build quality.

Is that what happens to particle board, when the particles get bored?
Not particularly, is the correct anwser. ;-)

I sure do enjoy my blackface Super, traded an Ampeg Reverb Rocket for it in
'67, and had it ever since.
I play it on 2 ! Never take it anywhere,except if it gets sick. I made a
living as a singer, and when people used to ask me what was the best thing
about my job, I would smile and say, "cartage.

I remember hearing about some acapella group (perhaps the Nylons) who DID
have people bring them on stage on dollies. They thought it was only fair...

If it was Rockapella, the stole the idea from me, sorta.
I worked with them once or twice, and told them the joke, guess they took it
to the next level.
Never sent me my creative fee.....lol.

Anyone checked out the new re-issue Hi-Watt amps?

I was thinking about getting the SA112 BULLDOG CUSTOM

http://www.hiwatt.com/index.html

I remember liking the old ones 'back in the day' .. and i'm sick of
lugging a JBL loaded Twin.

I'm also thinking it would be good to get an amp with contrasting tone
to the Twin. Like a Marshall combo, or an AC-30.

I always liked the early Stranglers sound of the Tele through the
Marshall stack.

A friend of mine just found a new Top Hat Ambassador for $1200. Yes, he
loves it.
There's nothing like the feeling of buying below wholesale. ;-)
Now, that would be a good slogan for Costco.
