    1984 Camaro...yeah, so...this is mine, too...driving it back this weekend.

    So, I gave this car to my nephew after I couldn't put a real motor in it in CA (unless I wanted to spend $15k for an LS3 swap), so I gave it to my nephew. Well, CO adopted the CA CARB regulations so now he can't put a real motor in it. But, since it's a "Historical Vehicle" here in AZ, I can do...

    Frustrated AF with my amp search

    Might be out of your budget, but check the amps at redplateamps.com, I use the Magic, the Backline might be what you need.

    70's Ampeg V2 4x12....

    I paid $400 7 years ago for a V4 cab. Fixed the mounting bolts, the stock speakers were pretty dull, but passed tests. Put four M75's in there, it was better, but it wasn't a keeper. Took the M75's out, put the Eminence/CTS/whatever back in and sold it for what I paid for it, even though it need...

    The night James Hetfield called me and my buddy " dicks "

    Not a huge fan of the band. One of my buddies in Maui was at Cheeseburger in Paradise years ago. JH sent his kid up to ask if he could play some complex Beethoven tune on his Strat. Needless to say, no. But he was a real dick about it to my buddy, Harry Troupe, and then put 1 penny in the tip...

    USPS Priority - WHAT HAPPENED??

    I don't care who appointed who in the USPS, they've always been sketchy. After 22 years of having a USPS account, I think I know. I've switched to USPS Ground Advantage instead of USPS Priority Mail. Why? It's less money and it gets there in 4-5 days, instead of 3. I can live with that. They are...

    WTF is this new Paypal nonsense??

    I have to have a business account due to selling $200k worth of speakers a year, so this won't apply to me. But the rules for regular PayPal accounts seem a bit bizarre of late.

    Changing 4x12 Cab grill cloth, PITA or doable for 1st Timer?

    I have restoration threads on the TGP. You'd need to do a search on Scumback Speakers to find them since they're almost 20 years old. Grill cloth is covered in one of them.

    Might you be building cabs again or soon?

    I've tried poplar, regular white birch, and pine. The baltic birch (11 ply) BB3 grade (furniture grade) just has the right tone, just like the 60/70's Marshall cabs. Cab maker didn't work out, lost his shop, and the landed cost (minus tolex/cloth) was going to be around $700, then I had to put...
