What's it like?

Absolutely BRILLIANT! What a fascinating idea! On reflection, this should strike terror into anyone moving toward any instance of reliance on AI for any critical operation. It's too vulnerable.

Wasn't a fan in the 80's (my head was too far up SRV's butt to care), but this popped up in my Spotify feed yesterday just as I was beginning my workout. I found it very musical, melodic and absolutely unrelenting. Great workout playlist.

About the same here. The tube tester was removed from the local drug store around the same time. They were still teaching tube circuits when I took vo-tech electronics in 1980, but most of it was just to show how/why solid-state tech was developed. ETA: mom worked at the local Sears Catalog Store, and I remember the day they were out on the store's front sidewalk cooking (microwaving) hot dogs and brownies in like 30 seconds to the absolute amazement of everyone who stopped by.

Um, how do you define "lately?" People younger than I would ask, "they used to repair TVs and electronics?" 🤣

FWIW: I had great results with the Callaham block for the American Standard trem. It allows for use of their trem arm (no slop). I was also partial to their bent steel saddles, but you may prefer the American Standard saddles.

New owner will have to choose EMG or the conventional passive pickups. Won't work (well) as configured.

Though I've never owned one, thinking back, I've never heard a negative comment. Closest I've ever gotten was a splendid Mesa Subway Blues - at least in spec, a very close analog (EL84s though).

Could you describe the site's acoustic voice?

Any idea what that last bit could mean? Some sort of brick-n-mortar arrangement that would receive goods and ship them for the seller? Private shipping via a hub system a-la Amazon? Lots of interesting possibilities for value-added services. I for one would pay good money if I could sell something cross-country and drop it with someone FOB Shipping Point and get handed a check. I might actually sell some gear (if I could remember where I put it). 🤔😂

Here's a good writeup of that guitar's history if you're interested in that aspect: Phenix (sic) Amazing story!

667 is the neighbor of the Beast.

Ess Bak On! $100 Trons including Setzers!

Noice!

Yes, but for the gigging musician that would eventually have come to be known as the "beer port." 😆
