i have an old '50s Silvertone Model 1392 amp, which features a perfectly functioning tremolo. The amp works perfectly, but the speaker, I assume original, has just about had it. What would be a good 12" replacement speaker? The amp overdrives wonderfully when cranked and is used primarily for country and rockabilly stuff, with a bit o' bluz thrown in. I would guess the amp's power at about 10 watts. Output tubes are a pair of 6V6's.

Marc Ribot? I once saw him on a festival for avantgarde guitar music here in Germany and first thought he was making fun of the situation. But then is seemed like this treatment of the guitar was really meant to be the music he delivered to the audience... You couldn´t really call it "playing guitar" though. What to listen to, if I want to listen to real guitar playing by him? BTW after him Fred Frith entered the stage and I did enjoy that one. The guitar playing of Marc Ribot I have in mind can be found on a number of Tom Waits albums, including, Frank's Wild Years, Rain Dogs, Big Time, and Mule Variations...........great understated stuff...........course, I really like Tom Waits a lot, and YMMV when it comes to Tom Waits. Perhaps at an "avantgarde" guitar festival he was in fact making fun of the situation?

happy birthday

Voted RAT from choices on list, but I've used the same stock TS9 for a lot of years and it's my favorite.

Try going to this board: http://www.peaveyt60.com/ Page Chip Todd, who frequents the board regularly, and ask him about Skynard and Peavey. He was one of the designers of the Peavey T-60 guitar and was with Peavey back in the day. He's a nice fellow, and I'll just betcha he'd be happy to help if he knows anything.

Picked up a load in Columbus, Ohio, on June 8 and headed east on I-70 for Cranbury, New Joisey. Stopped at a Pilot near Hebron, Ohio, for fuel, and there's an Ozzfest 2006 tour bus in front of me. The guy pulls it up and I fuel up. I'm fixing to wash the windshield when this dude with a very peculiar walk goes by and it occurs to me it's Ozzy Osburne.............what a world, eh?..........That he was munching on truck stop nachos convinces me the guy must be some lord of darkness or something. Those things taste like hot cardboard with runny cheese spewed all over them.

Not so much color, but i never cared much for flamed or quilted maple tops..........i do like plaintops and birds-eye maple, though i've only seen birdseye on necks.

For the price and features you seek, you just might want to try a Takamine.

+1 on the Larrivee......Guild JF-30 also is a great 12-string value if yer ok with a maple jumbo.

Kinda like back in the day when cold nuclear fission suddenly seemed to be popping up everywhere, eh?

His video on Roy Nichol's guitar style is reputed to be excellent as well. His posts at the TDPRI board seem to indicate he's a really nice fellow.

Here's a video I surely plan to own; looks like a natural for someone whose soldering skills are anemic as mine: http://www.terrydownsmusic.com/solder_video/soldervideo.html

Wow, Clapton, SRV, Hendrix, Beatles, Stones, Van Halen, Jeff Beck, Neil Young, Alex Lifeson all had bad tone?......................who in the world, then, had good tone?

There were more folks hooked on opiates immediately after the Civil War than any other time in our history, and I don't see any skyrocketing creativity during that period. I would venture that most artists that did produce great stuff while hooked on stuff like that in later years would call messing with the stuff a mistake. I just can't see where truly creative folks need any of that kind of stuff, and I'd say there's even more fantastically creative artists who never touched the stuff.

I've never been to the open house and tour and I've never bought a new Hamer. I play'em 'cause they're nice guitars. I could give a shit what the compay does with the tour.

Dude..I luv ya...but that is nonsense. I haven't heard a single person say that they believe in any type of censorship. Something like that would never fly in this country, and everyone knows it. What has happened is that a couple of bands have decided to speak out politically and the other side has organized a response, sometimes its a boycott. When the Dixie Chicks decided to wax eloquently, the response was immediate and severe. Nobody was claiming they didn't have the right to say what they said, but the right wasn't going to sit around and not respond. They have an absolute right to speak their minds, and the protesters have the same damn right to respond. When that happened , fans of the Dixie Chicks and the left in general cried foul and claimed they were being censored. Nonsense...the right was expressing their displeasure and had every right to do so. Freedom of speech works both ways and both sides don't seem to understand that simple concept. I know ya do, bro, and you know I loveya too, but when it's come to a time that folks have to sign a "loyalty oath" to attend a town hall meeting with our president, one really has to wonder the direction this country is headed. "You're either with us or against, us," right?!?

Zappa, Dylan, Lennon.................seems they all did okay expressing political views in songs. I always looked at art as a commentary on the times; why can't those who choose to do so have a take on something? If you don't like it, nobody forces you to buy it, at least not yet. It'll be a sad day when political dissent via song is disallowed, something I can see happening, given the current state of political discourse.
