A few years back I was talking to an unnamed famous guitar/amp builder about biasing one of his amps. He told me it was very easy so long as I did not do it incorrectly and accidentally kill myself. Dirty Harry ( Clint Eastwood) popped into my head- “A man has got to know his limitations.” Off to th...

Thanks Surf.

I just get the usual 15-20% off the junk we can’t sell and no one wants. Everything else is EXCLUDED.

So true. The best advise I got as a young man new to the workforce was, “Always remember, none of this is on the up and up.”

All very interesting. I spent my professional life in American court rooms. I’ve often commented that the least frequent visitor to the court room was the truth. I’m afraid that may be true of this election. I’m afraid that the perceived greater good will prove victorious over the truth. I wish it w...

Surf, I hear you. I agree with your observation. I voted 2x for Trump (not in the same election). But IMO all the legal challenges will fail. Maybe I’m wrong. Hopefully I’m wrong. But, I don’t think I will be proven to be wrong in the end. I live in a county that has been overwhelmingly Republican f...

Trump is like a Marshall Plexi: Raw, Loud and in your face. You know what you’re getting. Biden is like a modeler: an imitation of anything the user wants or needs him to be in any given situation. Having said that, Biden won. He’s soon to be my President. I may disagree with many of his positions, ...

Trump ran in 2016 promising to drain the swamp. I took this as saying figuratively that he would change the way Government operates. In some respects he did that. But the swamp is vast and powerful. It won’t go away quietly. In 2020 the forces of the swamp have lined up against Trump. This election ...

Grats on the new SV. I think I’ll pull out my germanium TB and give your settings a try.

Congrats! It looks beautiful and I agree about leaving the pick guard off. I don’t have a JP, but do have an R9 VOS. Fantastic guitar.

I confess I’m surprised to find such views from musicians. However, my surprise is pleasant as I agree with much of what has been posted. If I were the cop in the video I would have used the butt of the rifle rather than my fist.

I’m guessing Pete has more than a couple as the PT stands for Pete Thorn.

Thanks Surf. For some unexplained reason I keep getting drawn to Suhr. I agree completely about them being overpriced. When it came time to reduce my footprint the CAA/Suhr PT100 went and the VM remained. Suhr is like a pouch of Redman Chew, I know it’s bad (financially speaking in terms os Suhr), y...

Any thoughts or experiences with the Suhr PT15 or SL67?

Welcome to the 2266 Club. I’ve said it before. Amps have come and gone, the VM remains.
