[Bob Savage]

I think you guys all secretly love the Firebolts.

Takes one to know one. Same to you and more of it. I'm like rubber and you're like glue...

"Honestly, what makes this guys work any different than Jose's?"

Nothing....other than...

1. The rest of the circuit will be correct
2. No one will gets electrocuted
3. Others amps will be warrantied
4. Others amps will be more robust
5. Others amps won't look like it was designed by a kindergardener (or fat fuck living out of moms garage or a tattoo studio still playing Dungeons & Dragons with throwing stars and knifes smoking dope and drinking beer).
6. on and on and on

p.s. - Oh that Billy Blaze oven is funny as fuck. I watched "Night Shift" (1982) with Henry Winkler, Michael Keaton, and Shelly Long LAST NIGHT. Do you know what Michael Keaton advertised himself on his car as?? Anyone?? BILLY BLAZE!!!!!!! lol

I'm selling my JJM18 (2x6V6, fixed bias, hot-rodded JCM pre) for $600. 'Unchained' sounds the same as in that last clip. That's a $2200 savings. Just saying...

 

[Equ1nox]

...or one could buy a Chupacabra from Ceriatone for $1500 and have a FAR superior looking and quality amplifier with that "vintage" sound AND save $500!

Oh, here is the photo from Night Shift of "Billy Blaze" I just screen captured. Too funny!

This thread needs a clip of something that actually sounds good.

Best page so far.

Nice work Steve K and Charvel Dan I like your ink bro.

Ok what's so different than Jose, that was a bit extreme I know.

I was just trying to make a point. Bladez mods amps just as Jose does. Maybe he's not as good, maybe has a lot to learn but cut him a break.

Way overpriced if they're $2k but I'd guess not all of his amps are fire hazards.

Is anyone buying amplifiers who isn't an aging forum dweller, dealing with mid-life crisis? Rock and metal music is dead and gone! The only groups I see touring, are those who made their name before the collapse of the rock and metal music genre. Nostalgia tours basically. Today's white teens are into hip-hop, crack and bitches... What would they need with a guitar amplifier?

Well I shouldn't be surprised, another stupid post by Truetone....first of all teens don't BUY $$$ music anymore, so no matter what there's not much money in the business on that end. And that will change soon, always does...where it goes who knows. Rock and metal are gone? really? Many world tours of major acts still playing stadiums and selling out would prove otherwise....

That's fantastic! This updated model looks much better aesthetically & I am sure it sounds better too. "I'm in!"

I am so confused. Thoroughly entertained, but confused

@TrueTone500 (or whoever you are/were/will be...) - You clearly like the tone of Billy's "Solder Splatter 100", and that's cool. To be completely honest, I like what I heard in the clips, too. It's everything else about the amp, the builder and the "business" that makes it a purchase I would never (ever) consider. If I read all of the posts correctly, you think it's the greatest amp in the world, but you have no need for an amp like that, so you don't own one. That's cool, too. What I don't understand is why you keep trying to convince everyone else that it's a great amp, that Billy is a wonderful person and we should all buy his products. If you don't own one or have any intention of buying one and you don't work for the company or make money endorsing the product, why is this such a hot-button topic for you?

I've heard your hair-metal era guitar stylings... I recall it was a video with you and Steve Henning? My drummer and I were laughing our asses off! It was like watching MTV circa 1985, only the images weren't pleasant to look at. You should do another one of those, just for the comedy relief. For what it was, I thought Steve was/is the better player.

Can't tell if serious? Dissing (?) another musician for some of his material and its "stylings" yet you apparently love that era for its tones and playing...you must, you keep spitting up the same video which is loaded with that stuff. Just struck me as an odd comment.


EDIT: LOL...IndyWS6 beat me to it. ^^^

Wow... Nearly 25,000 hits to this thread and I still haven't a clue what it's about.

Is there a Coles Notes version of this thread available?

I am the best guitar player on this forum.
Have 100's of hours of masterpieces on Video and CD.
I only post myself playing like a drunken hack on purpose. The good stuff will never been seen or heard by the public.

True story.

Let some of my top notch stuff out to the public once and it was stolen.
Without pointing fingers.... You guys know the first Van Halen record?
Enough said. I am still bitter about it.
