What’s funny is how Sammy left out big tobacco saying smoking was okay for you for decades. Nah, he needs to be partisan and post something political in an effort to get this thread shut down. He’s violating the rules of this forum. Of course his buddy blackshitnoisemachine won’t tattle on him. 🤣
 
David you post 9 GOP topics to every one gear so don't know what you're saying really.
I mearly posted Rush's own words.
Not sure why your panties are knotted.
I spend little time here and don't really care too much.
mega dittos ... :salute:

You're obviously smart, I read your entire post. But this part really stood out right at the beginning.

Fair to say a large portion of your subsequent screed is based on your belief that what your providing
can be classified as evidence. Like hold up in a court of law evidence.

So far all I've seen is innuendo, conjecture, suspicions, and re-treads of supposed 'evidence' that's already
been debunked and/or thrown out of court.

You've conveniently ignored or brushed aside the actual evidence as provided by the people entrusted by
you the voter to believe - like GOP election officials in Arizona, Georgia, and the other swing states.

You ignore all of that as if it doesn't count for anything. Yet the verified evidence is the basis of my entire
position in all of this.
 
80% of the stuff on reverb and ebay has been sitting there for 6+ months and it makes little sense. If a mesa mark 3 is consistently selling for ~$1200-1500 what makes you believe it's worth 3 grand. I swear it's peoples wives making them "sell" gear.
 
I've noticed that people cling to conspiracy theories to calm the anxiety that comes with uncertainty. When I hear a person touting conspiracy theories I take it as a sign of emotional weakness.

I'm not saying there are no conspiracies. People often get together and make plans, sometimes in secret, and when that happens you've got yourself a conspiracy. My point is that using conspiracy theories routinely to explain things that make a person feel anxious, upset or disempowered is just that person's lack of fortitude. It has nothing to do with logic, facts or evidence. You'll never win an argument with a conspiracy theorist with logic, facts and evidence.
 
There aren't many people purchasing music gear these days. I was thinking... Pop music hasn't changed since The Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears. I kid you not... I'd rather spend the rest of my life listening to the 1966 Spiderman theme song vs a single bar of what's being passed-off as music today. Not only does it display a semblance of talent, it even contains a key change! That's more than I can say for 98% of pop music that's been produced over the last 20 years. Two guys from Norway (don't recall their names) have been supplying computer generated "songs" for nearly every pop performer (not artist) for the last 20 years. There won't be a revival of band oriented music on a commercial level. Thanks to the democratization of music (via the internet), there's no way to make a career of it. No air-play, no promotion, no public interest = no profit. It's over. Hobbyists, collectors and tribute bands will continue to play, of course... but, that's not nearly enough to sustain and/or create a resurgence. Those of us who are climbing up in years are trying to unload what we have, while we can. In another 10 years, a Gibson Les Paul (by example) will be nothing more than hanging wall art... Hell, it's already begun. Sorry to wax negative... but, that's exactly where it's headed.

You've got :poop: for brains.
 
Ad hominem attacks may soothe one's ego, but they also reveal the attacker is coming from a place of weakness. Just like routinely adopting conspiracy theories.

Come on, the Kennedy assassination is such a massive conspiracy theory. It's actually entertaining to see all of the evidence without proof.

Perhaps I'm optimistic but the state of music is changing. People my age (mid 20's) are largely sick of rap and pop as of late. It's stale and past its prime. People want some balls back in their music, once it's pushed on them they will embrace it just like they embrace every other genre of music. Although anecdotal, I've seen local college bars and parties play top 40 to a quiet and low energy crowd erupt into chaos when ACDC or Van Halen is played. People will listen to what their told is cool, but music with a soul will always stand the test of time.

I've heard that the JP-2C has issues with the loop... True?
Click to expand...

I didn't with the loop but it started shutting down when hot once in a while.
Couldn't troubleshoot it over the phone so I shipped them just the chassis
(saved some pounds and made it easy to bubble wrap the crap out of it -
that transformer is massive)

I figured there was a crack in a PCB somewhere that only opened when hot but it ended up being
a wonky standby switch on the front.

50 years of amps and that was a first.
At least they didn't have to tear the thing apart to replace a board.
