the happiness, excitement, and general contentedness thread

Might be picking up a Fender Champ 600 tonight for $75.

i'm incredibly happy with my amp, the Laney VC30...the Celestion greenbacks are the business for fat, fuzzy goodness. i was playing the Les Paul tonight with the Drive switch on and it had that perfect fat 70s sound where if you pick a little harder it gets bright and cutting. i only worry that it won't be loud enough for band stuff at 30 watts.

You get the 210 or 212?

212. i got it used off eBay for $500 from a guy in SoCal. it's an early 00s model; the newer ones have different speakers. i really like it because it doesn't sound like a Fender amp unless i make it do, and the Marshall-esque tone stack keeps it from being a Vox-alike...i played Fender amps most of my life, and i want something different than that 6L6/6V6/EL34 layout/sound. it's HARD to find something that isn't based on the old Fender amps.

the Champions are neat little amps. i had the Gretsch version for awhile...they're the same chassis with different cosmetics. like most little two-tube amps they're a bit noisy, but there are mod kits available to ameliorate this. they have a single 6V6 power tube; with an old stock tube in they sound nice and funky.

Do you have a sign on the back of your car?

Are you ready to work... in a Go-Go Bar?

Also, I've successfully turned Joe Johnson and Chauncey Billups into John Wall and Loul Deng in my fantasy basketball league.

Looks like I'm buying an electric organ for $25 tomorrow, which should be fucking awesome. I'll be posting pictures of it EVERYWHERE.

Totally offset being bothered by a cop for writing a tag in the dust on a window. Gave the dude whatever information he wanted because whatever, I'm only here for a few more months anyway. Stupid, but whatever.

I totally want to name a vibrator "The Electric Organ."

But you can get some sweet old organs super cheap just about anywhere at any time. At least in the Upper Midwest.

Here in Buttfuck Nowhere, Upstate NY, it's the only one I've seen, and it's fucking awesome.

And now I have an organ. The Solo Multiplexer board is kind of fucked up, so I'l have to take it apart and see if I can do anything with it tonight. Thing looks badass as hell, though.

[dubkitty]

what kind of organ is it?

[Fuzzy Fred]

my drawing class is like 80% women, over half of them being total babes, then the rest is a collection of a girl with a skrillex haircut, a girl who is orange and leathery at age 19, and just some weird girls

"is it a meat organ?"

"it might be a meat organ!"
