Members Zlandicar Posted February 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 aw... I thought the little winky made it clear I was just teasing So did my smiley. Anyway, I figure after all this that maybe the kid just wanted a SS power amp to preserve his "original sound" or some {censored}. I hear about this kind of 'logic' a lot; a lot of people seem to think SS amps are better because they 'don't color your tone'. Either way, he paid me good money, and he was the only person that bid, so I'm grateful for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members #16 Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 MXR sized enclosure, yellow and black swirly paint job. I don't know anything else like that. He did. He spent the entire time staring at the SRV posters in my living room. So did my smiley.

Sounds like a CJOD.....We don't do those paint jobs....don't like them and Donners are far classier than the CJOD ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, for all I know it could have been some BYOC {censored} painted to look like a CJOD. But considering what else was there, who knows?

Members the_tikibar Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 Well, when I first stared I played a Epi SG with a Boss Metal Zone into a SS Peavy. Now I play a custom tele; p90 in bridge/neck, single-coil in middle and wilkinson trem, through a nice menatone Working Mans Blue into an old 70's Traynor tube head. Kids are assholes.

Members spentron Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 not that my bull{censored} radar is going off big time here but a kid with a prs and a board full of proper boutique pedals goes for a cheap 2nd hand marshall valvestate?........ 100 watt Marshall, how can you beat that? %) When I was a kid I let my Acoustic 150 go in favor of a Univox simply because it was rated 210 watts. Nevermind the Acoustic could probably eat it for lunch. We had mostly crap equipment, most of us even after college. Of course some of that is high dollar vintage stuff now, but we thought it was crap, didn't do what we wanted, didn't know how to use it, didn't have a place to crank it, didn't have the magic boxes to plug into it. You think a Metal Zone through a new Peavey is crap? How about a Big Muff into a 70s Peavey being the best you had no matter what kind of music you were trying to make?

No distortion, no nothing. I learned every note on "Seek and Destroy" on that set up. When I plugged into a real amp with distortion (SS Peavey a friend owned), I thought I died and gone to heaven. c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother started with a $10 Hondo II, and played it through a beat-to-{censored} tape/radio player with 3 or 4 inch speakers (from before the advent of the compact disc). For a cable he used some little wire with 1/8th inch plugs and put an adapter on the guitar end. Beat that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a cable he used some little wire with 1/8th inch plugs and put an adapter on the guitar end. Beat that! Aye, in them days we was glad to have the price of a cup of tea! Aye, a cup of cold tea! Without milk or sugar! Or tea! Aye, in a cracked cup and all! Oh, we never had a cup. We used to have to drink out of a rolled-up newspaper! Aye, the best we could manage in those days was to suck on a piece of damp cloth! Aye, but we were happy in those days, though we were poor. Because we were poor! My old dad used to say to me: Money doesn't buy you happiness! Aye, he was right, I was happier then and I had nothing. We used to live in this tiny old house with great big holes in the roof. House! You were lucky to live in a house! We had to all live in one room, all twenty-six of us, no furniture, half the floor was missing, and were all huddled together in a corner for fear of falling! You were lucky to have a room! We used to 'ave to live in a corridor! Oh, we used to DREAM of living in a corridor. It would have been a palace to us. We used to have to live in an old water tank in a rubbish pit. We got woke up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House! Huh! Well, when I say house, it was only a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin, but it was a house to us! We were evicted from our hole in the ground. We had to go and live in a lake! You were lucky to have a lake! There were a hundred and fifty of us, living in a shoebox in the middle of the road! Cardboard box? Aye! You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down at the mill, fourteen hours a day, week in, week out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home, our dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt. Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of damp gravel, work a twenty-hour day at the mill for tuppence a month, and when we got home, our dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky! Well, of course, we 'ad it tough! We used to have to get up out of the shoebox at twelve o'clock at night, and lick the road clean with our tongue. We 'ad two bits of cold gravel, and worked a twenty-four hour day at the mill for six or seventy-four years, and when we got home, our dad would slash it to us with a bread knife. Right. I had to get up at ten o'clock at night, half an hourbefore I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down at the mill and pay the mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our mother and father would kill us and dance on our graves singing Halleluja. Aye, and you try telling young people of today that. And they won't believe you. Aye, they won't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
