I've said this before but I find it puzzling how he can be so disciplined with things like martial arts, mountain climbing, being an EMT, learning Japanese, etc. but could never (even 78-84) be bothered to sing like he did on albums. He was/is always coming in late and rushing or even skipping...

Visiting inlaws this weekend and spied this Vector case at Firehouse Guitars. Of course my feeble brain has since forgotten the price, sorry. Google search if interested.

Hope this new singer likes playing at ribfests.

This is the jig I made, I still need to write "Don't forget to pre install the barrel and heat shrink dumbass!"

Dude is definitely trying to take the guitar face crown from John Mayer.

If my tube heads went away I would be perfectly happy with my Friedman IR-J preamp.  They aren't going away just yet though. 😄

Good chance my band mate Dave wired it.

That didn't start until the early 90s when they switched from nitrocellulose lacquer to CAB urethane.

Agreed but...to be fair, last time the band I'm in played out I had two 4x12s blasting behind me and it was pretty glorious. 🤣

More often than not for band practice I'm using the IR-J because I don't want to haul anything. For shows though a full backline has "the look". 😄

I have four very good sounding tube heads BUT- if they all went away and all I had left was my IR-J and PS-2A I'd be perfectly happy, it doesn't look near as cool but..., 😂 

"How to make a pretty speaker cab". I posted the same thread but with a different title last week. 😄

Yes handles up top. I did a quick check when the cab arrived before dropping it off for covering and thought it's sounded very good. Didn't give much thought and grabbed a G12T-75 and a ASW KTS60 that have (both 16ohm) and was pleased with that. Might stick with them but also have a Vintage 30...

Yeah I'm probably going to have to paint something to match it. 😄 I already have a watch.

Suhr SL-15 for now but the Ceriatone JCM-52 chassis will fit if I change my mind.
