Let's see your AMP!

The subkick i made for our record was a 10" eminence something or another i got for 30 bucks on ebay. Worked like a champ when we recorded. I was a bit embarrassed cause i apparently wired what would have been the male end to the speaker, and had a female left. ...woops.

still worked. It takes 5 minutes to make!

dude, you gotta post some details on those sweet vintage toys

[jreeves47]

Those are Flotatone amps, accordion amps made from about 1945-1965, then they were bought out by koss. Each one seems to be custom made. The 2 on the outside have a great, unique vibrato.
The one on the left has the remnants of letters spelling out "the collegians" on the speaker cloth. I believe it came from a 1950's kiddie variety show filmed in a Baltimore lumber yard. They all sound great!

new berg NV412 is fucking fabulous.
I can't wait to get another one
stack it ontopof my other PPC412 and put the heads up top.
maybe i'll get road cases for them too and find a way to get the PPC412 ontop of the bergs instead.
for now it's a nice stack height.

I honestly don't even know what to say, but I feel the need to comment on how much I respect your dedication to high volumes.
Keep up the good work.

That's a pretty rad looking strat you got there. You build it?

No - there's actually a funny story behind it. Apparently (and this is subject to some dispute, but this is the story that was on the Craigslist ad) it was built in 1978 or so by a luthier in Britain from Mighty Mite parts. It was originally set up with a vintage strat bridge, single coil pickups, and old style tuners. Apparently, the old finish got worn through so much that the original owner sent it off to be refinished, but they kept all of the cracks of the old finish under the new one, so you get an effect like this:



This was on craigslist a few years ago, and I didn't have the money. I drooled over it, because it was my dream guitar that I never knew existed, but as with all things on craigslist, it eventually got sold. Fast forward a year and I'm talking to the music director at my college. Apparently, he picked it up, and he's starting to eye my Parker Nitefly. I say let's trade for the week and see how we like each other's guitars. I fell in love instantly, and it was a done deal. I never thought I'd ever see this guitar again, but I got incredibly lucky. It will never leave me.

This guitar also has the most intense wood grain of any guitar I've seen. I was told the sides are mahogany, but I'm not quite so sure now. Here's some pictures showing how the grain changes with the camera angle (you'll have to work around my shitty photography skillz)

Dear Agileguy_101,

You are rad.

Sincerely,

Thanks! This amp is my bebeh. I can get every sound I will ever need from it. I got lucky with the matching cab - found it a couple months after I got the amp on CL speakerless for $150. Put a V30 reconed by Tone Tubby with a hemp cone and a Cannabis Rex in there and it's godly. The bassman sounds especially huge with my Tri/Ram muff. I actually got to run it in stereo last week with the big muff on the Bassman and my friend's Soldano Avenger, both set LOUD. Seriously orgasmic tone.

I dunno what it is about this cab - no amp sounds bad with it. Maybe it's the fact that it's just so ungodly huge? 40 inches tall by 30 inches wide - it's as wide as my friend's oversized Sovtek 4x12 but a good foot or more taller, and half the speakers. This amp is ridiculously loud - wouldn't have it any other way.
