I like the old Hiwatt simplistic p.a. Head! Wow! Nice bass rig and guitar.

Yes, sorry I didn’t mention it. GC Guitar Center. It is where many Americans go and play and buy equipment.

I enjoy playing what I’ve collected over the years. I need to thin the herd eventually.

Oh my goodness!!!! I would have been torn apart about losing the Hiwatt!!! Mine is a ‘75. Super clean! Besides dust. The partridge transformers barely have any corruption on them. It is unreal. Sounds great. I used to have a super clean ‘68 Fender Bassman. Sold it 19 years ago. Picked up what I believe to be a ‘71 Bassman. Rather clean. I need to look as the pots to date it.

Thank you. I enjoy talking about gear, performing and guitars. Sometimes back in. Appalachian hills it gets a little lonely. I would say it much like Northern Scotland if I was to guess something as close like the highlands. I’ve owned some wonderful gear over years, performed at many festivals/venues and have some beautiful guitars/gear now. Thanks for reaching out and clearing up that it is not a live chat. Kinda figured it out after a few hours. Lol Here are some current amps I am working with. Really enjoy them both. Early this morning broke a Mesa Boogie DC-3 amplifier and ran it through.a Marshall 2x12 loaded with Celestion Seventy 80s. I have an old JCM800 cabinet loaded with the same speakers except they were made in England. I was surprised that the Chinese build on the same speakers is extremely close to the English broken in cabinet. The little red cabinet is a custom build 2x10 Ragin Cajun Eminence custom build. The speakers have a similar frequency rating response/rating as the Seventy 80s. Yet the 12” speaker really makes the difference on the tone. Both are good just apples and oranges.

I guess I’m my search engine words I wasn’t specific. I was thinking this was a chat type situation rather than messaging.

Sadly I have been in the works to open up a store the last 2 1/2 years. COVID hits and people start selling gear cheap! I know vultures will be grabbing some items for when prices come back up. Yet I’m sitting on good brand new guitars that have never been played. I saw one that was similar to what I had and the guy was asking almost a grand less than I was wanting to sell mine. Yet my prices are cheaper than GC, many online companies. Granted his was used but in really good shape. Logically, if I was buying, I would go with his guitar. I was hoping to help folks out with them being able to buy new/mint gear and some good used gear that could help them cost wise. Again I was cheaper than most price wise but some of the prices I’ve been seeing, it is definitely a buyers market!

I know it is early in the morning for you folks in the old country. Just awake and want to chat with someone about guitars and the like. Maybe I need to wait for folks to awake. I’m a chronic insomniac and should be on the guitar rather than a computer! Lol

Hello, anyone up who wants to chat about guitars and relations to such topic.
