    Edit: Sold out! Musicians Friend: Mesa Badlander 1x12 combo $1299

    I'd betcha they had a couple of demos and that was it. It said 'sold out' this morning when I checked. I like Vonbonfire's post above about something being reasonably priced in 2025. Amps are way overpriced now and have been for awhile. I"m not lucky I'm old in many ways, but I'm damn lucky...

    What did Cameron modded amps cost back in the day

    Cool, I never saw that! I think he's still on this forum. Definitely an excellent guitarist and knows his Cameron shit

    What did Cameron modded amps cost back in the day

    Pretty sure it was Abu Dhabi, as I had never heard of it,but then a local Vermont friend ended up moving there with his family to teach. Anyway, he's searchable on here under Steve_k and on TGP as Boggydepot . He seemed to turn over a lot of the Camerons. Meanwhile, then came Alex...

    Going to see Big Wreck Tonight…

    Glad you do that, and liked them! I haven't seen them this tour, but have caught shows in Watertown, NY, Albany, NY , and Boston and they're always fantastic. He's a hell of a singer and player that's for sure.

    What did Cameron modded amps cost back in the day

    They were almost always sold via the old Rig-Talk and 750.00-1100.00ish for used Cameron modded Marshalls. The Sovteks were even a bit cheaper back then. I've been here a long time, and things have changed a lot.

    Speaker Comparison: Soldano 4x12 - V30s vs V30 Scumback BM75LD Mix

    Scumbacks are my favorite speakers and I love the BM75's I have. Listening to this though I like the V30 more. Maybe something about the pairing with the bm75ld, or just that you didn't adjust your settings on the amp for the new pairing, but it sounds too shrill and harsh to me. But you...

    Get ready to be mad... the Fortin Killer Kali module is awesome!

    That makes sense, but my Cali-modded JCM800-Super Bass was wayyyy prior to him releasing his own amps. It actually was quite a bit prior to him stopping his mods as well .. It has the 2 different switchings for diode clipping and 2 different gain pots, bright switchings for both gains...

    Get ready to be mad... the Fortin Killer Kali module is awesome!

    I don't post here much, but yea there's a few of us.. I was never in any cliques here, but it's always been a a good gear forum.. . Unfortunately some died over the years, and some last, and some move to other forums or quit playing. . I've been a gearhead since I was a teenager, and love...

    Get ready to be mad... the Fortin Killer Kali module is awesome!

    Oh man, way before Brad King. I can't quite remember details but I remember Bob Savage was 1 of the 1st people here, and I know Sgt Thump (Chris Snider) had it also before Brad.

    Get ready to be mad... the Fortin Killer Kali module is awesome!

    They did work together on it a long time back. . I'm older than you and remember it. lol.. Then I was probably 1 of the first few in the US to send an amp to Gower for the KK mod. I had 50 watt RI Marshall 1987 that had been screwed around with and decided to mail it Great Britain to be...

    Get ready to be mad... the Fortin Killer Kali module is awesome!

    Good point! I have a Gower Killer Kali and have a Fortin Cali-modded JCM800 SuperBass and they're nowhere near alike.. The Fortin-Cali modded was a Jose-type mod (long before he came out with his Cali amp) and the Killer Kali+ I have from Dan is not a Jose-Mod hmmm

    anyone do the full time “club circuit”?

    You bet man! It was killer and a lot of the guys made it pretty big. I just watched your clip in LV of your tribute band and wow that's fantastic! Jimi Bell actually plays in a Deep Purple tribute act now as 1 of his projects. Haven't seen him play in years, but he was my bassist's idol...

    anyone do the full time “club circuit”?

    I love reading this stuff too! It's always differed by which part of the country you're in. in Vermont our big bar/club-circuit 'covers' bars were long gone by the mid-90's but we had a huge original band scene then, and of course the cover-bands still played but long gone were the days of...

    anyone do the full time “club circuit”?

    Cool, cool cool!! The bands I were referencing were the club circuit bands that played hard rock covers/80s metal covers. But I’ve been to the Rat, the Lliving Room, the Channel, the Spit/Axis, and Toad's Place, all for amazing new wave/punk shows!!!
