Dave Scepter 3,083 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) This Tony the Tiger theme reminds me of my 67 Goats license plate... I had an extra so I mounted it on my best friend Gibson's K9 Kruiser Kart... Arizona's streets get extremely hot in the summer so I made him this cart to take him from my house to the park without fear of burning his paws... he just recently passed away at 15... boy I sure do miss him Edited April 26, 2017 by Dave Scepter 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caddie 1,907 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) ok, now ya did it. now i'm cruising youtube for unusual, rare, unique, overlooked muddy waters stuff.

The sound quality is dicey thru the iPhone- sounds a bit tinny to my ear vs. what I hear in person. Boss ME 50 w/ dist., delay and some noise gate, running to a JVM 50 watt head on a M412A cab.
