Fortin Bad Blood - Un-veiling

[steve_k]

Next up, the Deep Freeze mod....in custom white! Thanks Mike. Working with you is a treat. Don't let the post-partum sadness overwhelm you. He's going to be in bed tonight with BB all boxed up and it's going to be calling out his name, "play me Mike, play me Mike"...Mike actually talks to you and gives you good information and tips throughout the process as opposed to being all top secret and gangsta like most of the other guys doing their Nacho mods. It's always a pleasure and I get to learn stuff at the same time.

Steve

Gald you saw that Steve, Mike does not throw a mod into the amp and send it on it's way. My cali has different values than others and it was his direction to do that and not mine as he knew what I liked due to playing while he was there. Someday ask about his electronics background and resume, he is not some guy that read forums and now mods.

Nobody does the work other than him as well.....................................

The yellow labeled cali mods are better anyways and now worth more.............

Agreed and I saw that early on when I had the Bones built. Who has my old Bones by the way? Yep, those Vintage NOS labels are going up in value and sound better than the clear......

the kegs are in the deep freeze. the original impedance tap is now the beer tap

The bad boy has now been relocated and sitting on top of some Bogner cabs in my man cave. Jaw dropping, teeth chattering, gut-wrenching, are a few things that come to mind. My wife has gone to check into a hotel. I have to go to the dentist and get my fillings checked.

More later.....

what?

i think i got CHS.....can't hear shit

you would never know this was a marshall, except for the un-mistakable sustain and smooth top end. running it through 2 cabs.....a 412 bogner with V30's and a FL bogner ubercab.

Sheeeeeeeeit.

Next is to A/B with the aldrich modded stuff from golub. i think it will be a very sweet pair of amps.

We could only hope so.....
Here is a picture of him a few years later....

Time certainly was not good to this kid.

Apparrently FUCKING on the 1st date didnt help him.

 

[Schaf]

no grease pencil and included footswitch

and Mike did not use those yellow backed stickers


Very interested in how that would sound, I love my cali but after seeing several jobs that Mike has done.....yours, lolzgreg, and gainfreaks I am not thinking I am missing out


No..........will not change as I am still happy though

Keep telling yourself that!

Been testing the bad boy on different Bogner cabs and so far the 412 V30 seems to get this dialed in pretty good with where I want it to be. If one had a peek under the hood, the only thing recognizable that makes it a Marshall is the original Marshall board and the transformers. Everything else, down to the pots were changed out.

Hope to get some clips recorded today. Messing around noodling so much it is hard to arsed with setting up mics and trying to find a good recorded environment. Back to Soundgarden's Limo Wreck. Oh, the red shell and I didn't get along at all. I just happened to have a new black shell and threw the BB in it. Sounds much better in black and kicks much more ass

Here's a shot dressed in black....Steve

 

[killertone]

Doesn't surprise me that it sounds best in a V30 cab, that is what Mike likes the best. I agree with him.

 

[FortinAmps]

It does look better in black

Here's another one I just finished up, similar to yours but with some added stuff by request.

Cheers,
Mike
