New Gear Acquisitions

VOLVO))) · September 26, 2011, 11:11:20 PM

I have my Kramer lumie out of commission. It needs frets, and the inlays are going to be redone. I'm slowing chipping away at it, as I have money...

I love that electric. Actually koi's while rig,and tone are pretty much top shelf.

Got a new Bogen P.A. head a few months ago for $200 and my Hairpie. Sold my Squire Tele Custom and got a Memory Boy DLX.

I love that amp! Looks like a camp stove.

You shut your mouth when you're talkin to me! My mother's a saint. Ha! You're going to love the EGC man. Kevin is top notch to deal with, too. The pic I uploaded is actually from a while back. I ended up sending her back to get fitted for humbuckers. The p90/aluminum combo was a bit too bright for me, and not enough output. He had it back to me in less than a week. She sounds huge and mean and all Hell, now.

The guy I got it from told me it's real close to an old Bassman circuit. 6L6's and 50 Watts. I might re-house it someday. Only 4 of the pots are connected, so I'd just remove them from the faceplate. Gain, Master, Bass & Treble. It feels like a stove after about 30 mins of playing, so there's a gargage-style door on the back that flips up.

Hemisaurus · September 27, 2011, 03:36:54 PM

Wow, those power tubes look really close together, or is it the camera angle?

Baltar · September 28, 2011, 07:37:51 AM

Here's a google photo of the guts, so you can see the plates. I guess the 6L6's are pretty close but, not any different than most amps. Maybe an inch betwixt.

Hemisaurus · September 28, 2011, 07:59:40 AM

Oh that's not so bad, in the other pic it looks like they are practically rubbing against each other, and that transformer too.

My first brand new amp purchase in over a decade. Fender Champion 600. One pre-amp tube, one power-amp tube and one volume knob!

He's already up to building the next one. If I wasn't happy with this one I would buy that one too, but then again...

You're one step ahead of me. xP I need people to buy the stuff I have for sale before I can put down the deposit on the things I am getting from 'em.

At_Giza · October 17, 2011, 04:55:26 PM

I don't have much to sell, though... The stuff I do have no one seems to want. I WANT MY EMPEROR CABS!

At_Giza · October 17, 2011, 05:04:37 PM

Maybe I'll just work the corner... At least I'll have the cabs, with the added bonus of venereal diseases.

Hemisaurus · October 17, 2011, 08:49:52 PM

is it cheaper to go out and get a local builder to make you cabinets, or is that only true here in Amish country?

Depends on what you want, if you buy used, now if new then yes

At_Giza · October 17, 2011, 09:04:26 PM

If I had a woodshop capable of finish work I would build my own cabs, I've got the skills. AND I would build them cheaply (and prohibitively expensively too) for us poor (and deep pocketed) musicians.

I have cabs for sale, not sooper cheep, but still cheap. Even built one of them myself in an afternoon.

At_Giza · October 17, 2011, 09:13:06 PM
