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.
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...
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
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...
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...
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!!!
Not sure what years you're talking about but drinking age for me was 18 as well and I've been in VT. I used to see MANY Connecticut circuit bands here in Vt.. There was great 80's metal there. Were you familiar with Doug Blair from Run21, Cosmic Joe from Jimmy Carter Show, etc and Jimi...
Are you talking back in the late 70's-mid 80's by chance? I'm old, and that's when the circuit club bands existed in New England where I live. My girlfriend who I bought my house with in the late 80's did that for years as a lead singer in a circuit band, and my current bassist for the past 30...
I live in Vermont, and the lead singer of my bands for over 20 years was a National Crew Chief for the emergency wildfire crews. Every year he headed to Montana, Oregon, California, etc to work these huge fires and train all kinds of people in what to do. He made large amounts of cash each...
I hope @Fusionbear is OK.. He hasn't posted since Wednesday and the fire was just a few streets away. He didn't seem too worried by his posts but I would've been!
Sending positive thoughts your way. . Man, I hope everything ends up ok.. I live on the other side of the country but was there during the Franklin Fire you just had! 2 in a month is no joke :(
I figured the 1 other option that you didn't post , is you liked it so much, you wanted to get in your order for more of them before other people did! Sorry to hear about your wife's surgery, and hopefully she's on the mend quickly. Unreal how they can produce this stuff in the Ukraine...
Totally curious why you sold it? I know how life is, but still curious! I was on the forums when these came out and always wanted one but couldn't afford it.. Now I can, but have a museum worth of cool amps already . How good is the gain channel on this?
Please buy this so I don't drive the 3 hours and buy it. I said the same thing to a friend on the other forum who lives closer than me. I do NOT NEED IT!!!!! But.... .
Yes the Hypertune in McRocklin's Suite works better than the DROP pedal, but most of us use the Drop pedal with our bands, and Hypertune doesn't help me there. Anyway, ,I got my 1st Digitech Drop 10 years ago when it came out and nothing has surpassed it yet. I got a backup one last year ...
Best of luck with everything! You sound like a guy who has his priorities in place! Btw, I have a pair of ToneNerd Whiskey pickups that I'm hoping to put in an old Herc Fede Swirl-finished Ibanez guitar that I had bought 20 years ago and never built. It's 1 of my projects this winter here...
