Like most everyone else, covid killed my gigs. Things started picking back up for me last summer. Now it's every weekend and more if I want it. But this time around I'm not stuck in one band. Actually, I'm not a member in anyones band. I just sub for different bands. Haven't had this much...

Sorry if this subject annoys some. I know the subject of tube shortages over a year ago was fatiguing. I just quit reading about it. Wondering if Western Electric is still considering producing popular guitar amp tubes? Dumb luck and pack-ratting graced me with all the common tubes I use over...

Hopefully not too contentious a subject. As with so many things lots of important details to their inner workings obscured to those not directly and intimately involved in the fray. From someone looking outside and far, far away it seems to be working. They've prevailed through the pandemic...

2 MKIV Rev A's, MKV 90W, and MKVII here. Also a MKI and IIC+, but those two are different enough from the rest of mine that I consider them almost different amps entirely; Still finding MKIV's my go to's when I want a Mesa MK fix. Thought about sending the MKV on it's way, but no need to...

Preface; All these years playing and "gear heading :eek:" (for me that would be 1972 to the present) hollow-state amps w/6V6 power sections weren't one of my curiosities. Not even the iconic Fender Deluxe Reverb. Like a multitude of others I simply started out using the gear available to me...

What are your thoughts? Does it exist as such? As the Industrial Military Complex? It's a stupid question to some I know. I'm being selfish to say asking obscure questions like this get some responses off the rails and sometimes you'll come across a diamond in the rough. That's been my humble...

Back in the early 90's I had several thousand dollars worth of the stuff considered decent for the day. Got completely out of music and gear back in 1998. Sold everything including guitars, amps effects, etc. Didn't even pick up any instrument and play it for 12 years. Here in the past couple...

Greetings and gratitude to all during this time. And I mean ALL. Life for me is like a roll of toilet paper spinning faster as it reaches the end. Inspite of all my flaws, and as undeserving as I am of who I am, where I'm at, and all I've been allowed, I'm greatful for all of it. I'm...

Probably not a big deal here. I have padded covers and bags for all my P.A. and guitar amps. Been buying them since 1993. Gary (original owner) sold the company years ago to some people in Michigan. I've also got some of the Studio Slips covers and what they call clamshell bags. They are great...

Been in the market for a used Toyota 4Runner. 2010-2017 model. Seeing prices finally coming down in my state. Been reparing my 2002 4Runner and nursing it along since new. Got 307,456 MI to date. Since the life of the vehicle: 3 timing belt/water pump changes 5 sets of tires catalytic...

What an ugly @$$ boat anchor POS. I love my Wizards, but no way in hell would I pay $4K it. Probably not even $2K. https://www.ebay.com/itm/125539389562?hash=item1d3abb107a:g:4IMAAOSwz3VjNx2N

I know this will draw lots of flak. Any directed at me go ahead. It's okay, I won't take offense. Years ago I used to poke at those that brought this stuff up as a special kind of wackos-tin foil hat types. In my later years though, I keep an open mind on these things. Just because I haven't...

I realize that's a broad question. I'm not a big buyer or seller these days of used gear. Just weary of perusing Reverb, CL, eBay, that stupid emporium over at thin skinned crybaby TGP. Overall, been digging RT more and more of late.

Another one of those hobbies I have a love/hate relationship with. Haven't shelved it yet, but it seems to be dying the slow death of attrition along with it's base.

Probably stupid question....rag on me I probably deserve it ;) The clips I've heard sound as good to my ears as anything I have. I'll be passing thru Atlanta next week, and planning to stop at Atlanta Discount Music to give one a try.

This seems to be one of the last gear forums left with at least moderate activity where one doesn't have to feel like they're walking on wokedom egg shells. Probably would be different if the place was super active (like HCAF heydays), but really enjoying things the way they are now. The most...

Just my humble opinion. One of the few places left where it's not necessary to tippy toe around so as not to crackle the woke eggshells. Fair and tolerant moderation. Really long for the hey days of HCAF before $$ and political correctness killed it. I really like this place. I just wish it...

Have mentioned several times. Doesn't get any better. Can pack an amp to stand most any apocalypse. Very intelligent and articulate. Never seen an amp packed this well ever. Needless to say....it arrived unscathed, and mint just like described. Nary scratch, stain, or gouge anywhere to be...

I'm sure there's a better reason than "I'm a dumbass for asking", or "Mesa sucks". Snarky comments welcome. Let it all hang out. You guys and gals are awesome.
