That's the first I actually laughed in a very long time. Thanks Steve. LOFL. There's got to be an Ozone joke to squeeze in there with that somehow.

They are an oddity for sure. For example "fuzz" was an optional circuit you could have custom installed. They are incredibly clean yet have a tube like sound. John Fogerty used them in CCR. IIRC he still tours with his original Kustom rig. I just watched a vid on utoob of a guy comparing a bunch of SS amps. The best sounding one to me was his tiny little VOX 15W amp. Then toward the middle he pulls out a 15" Combo he said steel guitar players used. I couldn't believe it. I had no idea they were still made. The title says SS amps suck but it's a play on words. My fav is the VOX and the 15" steel guitar amp ... with 2nd optional 15" cabinet.

Sorry. Can't see your post. Nope. Didn't come through. Not visible. Must ... resist ...

Yeah. They didn't think it through when they got rid of the tuck and roll design. 😁 Btw that pic is directly from their site. Hah. They also make a higher watt version of it. I absolutely love my Fender Champion 100 modelling amp. Cheap, sounds great, basic modelling and fx. Best sounding amp I have ever owned for the type of music I do. Ya know what I don't get is why someone doesn't make a 1 x 15 combo anymore. Kustom used to. I played a very old cream colored 1 x 15 combo tuck and roll once and man what a sound.

I played one of these recently. I was shocked. $249 for 2x12 30W built in fx. They have a whole new line of amps. www.kustom.com. A 100 Watt head for $199.

It's cute. Does it have a built in non-stick tuner?

He needs to do some serious manscaping.

He's been on more recordings than you can shake a stick at. He was one of The Wrecking Crew. The Monkey's got a bad rap for not doing their own recordings because most popular recordings in the 50s and 60s were done by Campbell and/or a small group of others. This documentary is free on Youtube. I've watched it 5 or 6 times.

The capitol of Atlantis isn't far from there at The Richat Structure where his main mansion used to be before the tsunami. I'm guessing he had the pyramids built as a second home when he lived there long before the catastrophe hit.

I read an article that dna testing showed the oldest found pharaoh mummies were of European descent. So it's quite possible Keef had some input in the pyramids construction.

When I was a kid we used to put a drop oil on the back tires of our slot cars and hold them in place at full throttle till they started to smoke. It made the rubber really sticky even after it cooled and you could take corners really fast without whipping your car off the track.

It's ok to get lubricated once in a while. Just don't overdo it. 👍

On a serious note (G#) what you are experiencing is usually caused by a chemical reaction. For example certain teflon based lubricants like Tri-Flow will do this to some types of rubber. We used to use it on the scanner rails on copiers until we realized that the teflon separates from the fluid carrier and becomes sticky over time. I mention this because our local guitar store used to sell it and labelled it 'all natural banana lube' for lubing the bridge and nut. Tri-Flow smells like that. They just re-bottled and relabelled it. So certain guitar lubes can cause that reaction. If you are changing strings and lubing and using your tuner to set up your guitar and get some on it it will get sticky iver time. My tuner is about 8 years old and still like new but I don't use any lubes on my guitars. S1 has a stock tuner vst ... 😁

If you live in California then yes. It has cancer causing materials in it. Apparently everything causes cancer in California. So I've read. On the back of every item I've ever owned.

There's been mix changes several times over the years. One example is I had 2 different versions of Rubber Soul. On one version I'm Looking Through You had a false start amd on the other version they edited it out. The mix changes I heard weren't in every song and were few and far between. But the few I heard coupled with the extreme remaster kinda caught me off guard. It could also be that I'm totally wrong and I was just hearing things that were always there that I never noticed that the remastering brought out.

I don't mind the changes to the mixes but how he changed them sonically was overdone for me. I really did think Come Together blew my sub cone. The entire house shook. I have it calibrated for music and listen with it all the time and that's never happened. I guess what I was expecting was an equal to or better than Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs type release coming from Abbey Road Studios and Giles Martin. A pristine re-release of the originals. I'm still glad I got them though. The Vinyl Rewind youtube guy said he preferred the vinyl releases of these cds. I may pick them up some day.

I played the whole album All Things Must Pass on YouTube recently. I had forgotten how good it was. I didn't appreciate it as much when I was a kid but it's completely different to me now. I noticed some changes on it too. I can't wait for the new Let It Be movie to come out this summer I think. I hope they do a box set set with the movie and album and some other goodies.

I took a trip up to Iowa today to visit my in-laws and grabbed a few cds to listen to. I got the remixed/remastered anniversary editions of Sgt. Pepper, The White Album, and Abbey Road for Christmas and this was my first chance to listen to them. It's a 3 hour drive up there. They were good and I liked the included demo discs but some of the tracks were changed. I know every breath, every ad lib, every tiny little thing forward and backward on these albums and they definitely changed some things. Are they better than the original cd releases ... I have to say no. I have all of the original cd releases and I have a cd set made from the metal masters. It sounds to me that Giles went way overboard with the notching out of instruments and compression. The originals have a more even frequency spread but these you can hear each and every instrument and vocal individually almost too much imo. I did listen to a little of Abbey Road on my home stereo and the bass was overwhelming. Way over the top. I thought Come Together was going to blow my sub the bass was so loud. It's perfect on the original release though. Anyone else have the latest versions? What do you think?

😢 One of the greats.

Ew. Gross. 😜😁

Happy birthday young man.

Please ... any IT person correct me on this if I am wrong ... I watched a router security video recently on youtube about Ubiquity getting hacked. If I understood correctly the gist of it was you should always set up your Ring and Alexa and any other wifi controlled devices like light switch and outlet devices on the "Guest" portion of your router and use the main router login for your personal info like bank account numbers and sites you buy things from with a credit card. It does something along the lines of masking your mac and IP address so they can't trace your main login and monitor you. They also said some routers actually have multiple NICs those are the safest. I also read that VPNs are no good if you've used your internet before setting up the VPN. Once your IP and mac have been out there it can be traced VPN or not. You have to replace your nic, get a static IP from your isp, then set up a vpn before surfing the net for a VPN to truly work. I'll try to find the vid I saw and update with a link.

OMG! Did you see the stuff below the listing under the frequently bought together list. It's hilarious. 😁
