Thanks, the one for $400 in Las Vegas seems kinda worth it but I'm not sure how I feel about no headcase + shipping across the country.
seriously? 400 bucks? fuck dat.
This is the key ingredient to the Beta sound, everything else is just window dressing.

Is that the switching scheme?
with no headcase? Man, the fuck? They aren't exactly rare, y'know?
350 dollar Sunn Enforcer... what do?
Haha, well I'm not rushing to email the guy or anything. But if I found one close w/ a headcase I'd probably do it.
Just putting the feelers out, I know they're out there.
I know the one that's in Vegas. The guy selling it is an amp tech. He made the footswitch mechanism compatable with a standard 1/4" plug, so you don't have to buy the ones that sell on ebay for $100.
Mine are set up the same.

that's definitely a plus
Hmm, $400, brand new 100W tube amp from Peavey, with warranty, or used suspect 100W SS head that will need repaired every 6-9 months from Sunn (according to the guys in Red Fang) ;D
BUT IT'S LABELLED SUNN!

Thanks guys, but my sights are set
There's a dude selling a pedal steel/beta lead 2x12 combo about three hours from me...

Would rather have the standalone head version. But for the right price...
Hahaha. Imma wait for him to come down some more. I wish it was a better steel.

Which is scarey. I wonder if you could build a clone, and sell it as a used Sunn for more than you could sell as a clone. That MAGMA preamp is just reedukulouse in price.

Nothing wrong with taking a break, but no need to delete your account.
I don't know whats wrong with you balls. Best check with Hemi, he's the tech. If anyone can fix them it's him. ;)
the depth of my ball problems could fill volumes. as far as my most recent internet butthurt goes: best as i remember- and I was posting from airport bars at the time due to work travel- i posted some stupid ass OT thread in jam room and that Jibberish cunt got all up in my grill about it. Seeing how that went over (thread locked), and then how that same cunt attacked a new guy that was just intoducing himself, because he (jibberish) felt like self appointed junior mod-....well, whatever, all lame ass shit that I let bother me and in result let me know that I gave too much of shit about the BS here and virtual assholes in general.
so, in short.
meh.
but i still got mad juggaluv for all ya all reeel niggznshit.
If anyone wants they shit deleted, holler at me and I'll handle it. If you have a change of heart down the line just make a new account.
best pm me your email diddler.
but for real, no need to delete your account.
don't sweat the small stuff.
You axed me to lock that, din'tchu? If not, my bad. People will be cunts, but we're all family here. Im the only mod, other than Dave-o that posts here. Unlesa we say somethin', fuck bitches, get money, y'know? You didn't hurt nothin' we couldnt fix in a jiffy. Jibberish is a grump, but he's solid. As I said, we're all family.
No need for ya to go anywhere, Mike...

It happens. I guess that's the internet and shit. I try not to let it get to me anymore.
Some asshole from a different website (non-musical) that wronged me and some friends tried to post some shit where he called us out thinking we wouldn't see it. Blatant lies and blamed us for things he did. He was a punk - booted out of the marines and at that time, just fired for sexual harassment at his new job. Guy deserved to have his jaw broke in person but instead we were forced to settle with slandering the shit out him in what led to the funniest internet debacle I have ever seen. All done covertly w/ no backlash...
After that, no more drama for me. :D
I much prefer being an asshole in person or at least in one:one online fuckchat sesh's. My email for anyone that wants it is: mikeclam@hotmail.com
Oh, Metal Dave- I'll be seein' you in Sept. Just booked my flight for the MotM thing- I went oneway, figured chance of leaving Litttle Rock alive was pretty slim anyway.
Doooooooooooood!

I've been thinking about what to do with a headcaseless jawn and this is what I came up with.

Expensive but super cool.
I messaged him, he said that someone overseas is interested but that chances are I'll get it.
Cross 'em for me guys.
crossed!

Cute!

Jake I pm'd you back about that other jawn.
Ill build you a headcase for ya Beta lead. I got two to work with.

The only difficult part is finding proper screws for the goddamn head.

Yeah, I was gonna go off my beta bass's headcase.
I was looking at plexiglass http://www.eplastics.com/Plastic/Plexiglass_Acrylic_Sheet_Clear (http://www.eplastics.com/Plastic/Plexiglass_Acrylic_Sheet_Clear)
Think I'd be able to cut it with any normal type of circular saw? If not I think they'll do the cuts for me.
It's kinda expensive but if everything pans out I'll have a plexi-bass, plexi-guitar & plexi headcase.
That's just too cool to pass up.
But if that shit doesn't pan out you're my man, JakeO))) ;)
yeah, thats true, the screws may be tricky.
Solid, holler when it's good!

Overseas person is a good friend of mine here in Dublin and I pointed Skullservent in your direction. Suppose as long as one of you get it I'm happy.
I believe this will be yours soon.
payment has been sent, thanks to everyone involved especially diddler, Derelict 78 & moose23
also JakeO))) for planting the seeds of GAS months ago
That video did it for ya, huh? That's my shitty/constantly broken beta, too...
Someone clarify, can't you build a beta preamp for fairly cheap? Something about channel switching that makes it difficult?
Just seems like more people should be building them in pedal form and using them with a power amp. Then no more repairs?
Im glad it worked out. as soon as I saw the ad I thought about this thread
Congrats on the new amp.

Well partly, I bought one years ago for my brother when we played in a band together and when he moved I let him take it. So I knew more or less how they sounded I just never played guitar though it. Now that I'm playing guitar more and starting to write for a new project I felt like I needed one again.
And thanks again guys.
Figured you guys would be happy to know in addition to getting my amp I splurged on myself and bought my dream guitar. Bye Bye tax return. Hello saving $$$ for the next few weeks.

Now all I have to do is get the Beta checked out and build her a headcase outta plexiglass. Ugghh, it never ends.

Oh man, my back would die if I re-did my 2X15. But then again its got rollers on the one side, hmm.
Seriously though, that shit is expensive and I don't think I could afford that.
Anyone have any idea what width I should get? I was thinking 1/2" since it's much more affordable than anything thicker.
Also, without angled corner cuts am I looking at something that is just not possible?
I figure securing it won't be too bad I'll velcro it underneath and on the sides which will be hidden with handles.
PS. I definitely lifted the idea from the beasties to begin with.
She got here today. Gonna need a lil' work. Think I'll take it to this guy.

I know I've pasted this before, but you need whoever did D.A.D.'s backline, entirely plexi, including thr drum kit.

The only way it would be cooler is if they had transparent poly cones on all the speakers.
Woah, the headcase alone is looking like it's gonna be pretty expensive. I'm having someone look into a local place that'll also do the cutting for me. I don't think the online spot will do angled corners for me.
But maybe one day I'll get my cab redone.
