[mortlock]

if I understand that right, once her investment matures, she will sell. don't get too attached. not going to be easy considering how sweet that guitar is..

[Pissy]

cool score!   Josh Homme of Queens Of The Stone Age digs those.

Who is that?

[RAGER]

Some homophobic douchebag

[Beta Cloud]

josh's words...

"Member of the Peanut Gallery:
Some journalists & citizens on the internet & are wondering: Q? Am I a homophobe because I included a slang for gay in with other "acceptable" curse words during a verbal lashing I gave a young concertgoer, after being hit by his shoe, during a show the other day? A= Nope. My gay family & friends, as well as myself, KNOW I am not a homophobe. For years now I've known gay is not a choice; one's skin color doesn't determine one's intelligence level; & red hair doesn't mean you're someone's stepchild. You see, it's not the words, it's their intent. I never said, nor suggested, that being gay is wrong, but apparently, based on your outrage to my flu-infused rant, you do! By that logic... I also told that young whipper snapper I'd have anal sex with him... how can I possibly reconcile these opposing viewpoints? I called him a pussy too. Does it mean I hate our one worlds' collective vagina? I never have been nor intend to be politically correct. That's your cross to bear. To me, that PC world would suck more shit than the porta-potty truck at Glastonbury. Homophobic? I'm in Queens of the Stone Age for crissake... You say, "So. Your band name doesn't prove anything." Maybe not. But it's a helluv a lot more definitive than the logic of some watchdog... (sorry canine-American, canine-European, canine-African, canine-Australian & canine-Asian) moralist, keeping score from pure perfectionville? If your glass house is squeegeed that clean & you need to do something, do what the great philosopher Bill Hick's once suggested: – forgive me-. Or don't. I'm not asking for either, OK? I think you should let both of your cheeks go loose so the stick will drop out. Either way I expect that you'll soon find another injustice from your chair, then roll to your bullhorn & point it out to the rest of us... Because you're so above it all. Or If you'll allow me to translate a wish of mine into your PC lingo:
Will you please go have, consensual, sex with yourself.
Pretty please with all natural, carbon offset sugar on top.

Sincerely,
Mr. Missundastood

i don't think he's a homophobe but a sincerely confused dude that chose electric solid-body guitars made by an acoustic guitar company.

he shoulda' played a les paul like everyone else.
the desert is a lonely place.

and by, 'flu', i think he meant 'xanax and vodka'.

[RAGER]

His explanation just sums it up for me even more.

[VOLVO)))]

I think he's probably a homo. So.

[RacerX]

There ya go.

[The Shocker]

Any time musicians talk about things other than music or the rock lifestyle they sound like idiots.


Got this today:





Cleaned up:

[The Shocker]

[RacerX]

WTF is it?

[The Shocker]

Some kind of tube overdrive/distortion/fuzz thing.

[RacerX]

Looks like it could be about as old as me.

[VOLVO)))]

Nah, it's not made of fossilized dung.

[RacerX]

Thanks, you little peckerhead.

[The Shocker]

I have been completely unsuccessful in finding anything about it on the infernet.  




I know I don't post much in Jam Room anymore, but I thought this was the no attitude, friendly area.

[Pissy]

Trimpots.  Not too old.

Looks pretty sweet though.  Do you recall that old (probably older than RacerX) Harmony H303 amp I modified to be a power amp distortion unit in front of a brute force solid state Stewart World 1.2 power amp?  This likely was made to do that sort of thing.  Nice score.

I'm thinking 70's and no, I don't remember.  It does sound interesting though.  Thanks!

[Pissy]

I thinkt this is it.

[The Shocker]

Thanks Pissy!  Any idea what the trimpot affects?


Edit: Lot of names you don't see posting anymore from just 2 years ago.  Gives me the sads...

[Pissy]

don't fret the trimpot.  It's probably there to bias the tube.

[AgentofOblivion]

Some day I'm going to learn about this shit and build something.  But today I'm studying for the qualifier.

[The Shocker]

Same here.  Been thinking about getting one of those pedal building kits and start there. 

[RAGER]

Start with a simple Build Your Own Clone reverb pedal. Cheap and easy and a very helpful forum.

[Jake]

Got a swell little Concert Lead in a trade. Also got a Concert Slave, which I don't foresee having any use for. I had forgotten about the simplistic beauty of a good solid state amplifier.
