I have one of the Crate amps Lee Jackson helped deign. It actually belongs to bravedude2, but it is with me. He also has the Ampeg that Lee Jackson helped design. Both amps sound really brutal. He bought one of the racks of Lee Jackson and that just sucked.

Yeh isnt that the Crate Stealth head or something?? The Crate head that Lee designed Tommy Victor of Prong always used to use it back in the day..

Before I bought the Lee Jackson's I went through a crap load of amps Peavy 5150, Soldano hot rod 50 HR 2 channel head, VHT Pit bull.

You are correct. It even has the nice black carpet.

Yeh I was reading around on here it didn't seem like any one was to fond of his work..
He did make some raw brutal sounding amps perfect for most types of metal depending on what you are going for..
I always described them as a Metal distorion pedal with the ability to shape the mids with the warm compressed sound of a tube amp.. More natural compared to solid state..

There are a few of us who are on here in the middle of the night all the time ..... i only sleep 4 or 5 hours a night and work different hours all the time.

may i ask if you don't mind what kind of job do you have that lets you work flexible hours ? self employed?

i fixed my pattern a couple of months ago... now it is back to me staying up to 5am or later and waking up at 8...

I am a painter....I have worked for twin brothers for a long time .... It is very much like working for myself. It is more like hanging out with friends than working. We do a lot of business .... they have customers so we paint at night when closed often. This year has been very slow .... and I have nothing better to do.

I was talking to my mom not to long ago about this sleeping thing....she said I was always up at night even as a baby. She gave up on it when I turned 14. I sleep when I am tired and eat when I am hungry. I know it sounds crazy .... but it works for me. Wonder whats around here to eat ?

i cant sleep during the day...unless I knock my self out...or sleep in your job sounds cool...one thing i miss about high school was being around people you enjoy for hours everyday... at my job at the moment i do not relate to these people at all, it is only part time work though...

 

[glpg80]

painting isnt a bad wrap at all. i wouldnt mind doing that to be honest.

im trying to get onto the geek squad at the best buy i was working at this moment in time. the closest "fun" job i ever had was working summers for a construction company/grading company in the mountains to earn my college savings.

that was pretty cool

i can sleep anywhere, anytime. doesnt matter if its light out or not. like steve said - sleep when im tired and eat when im hungry.

thats probably why im 115 of nothing

 

[liamlw]

115 lbs ? I used to eat when i was hungry but ate shit food... since then I have lost 10+ kg's and i am feeling much better down at 80kgs (185~cm)... and a lot more fit, time to join the sports clubs again

and I are always up the latest?


He and I are becoming long lost brothers...

You can add me on to the graveyard crew. I'm on the east coast too and I keep all kinds of late night hours. I'm mostly self employed as a tech, I like to work in the wee hours when it's quiet, it's much easier to focus without having to answer the phone and such. I lurk much more than I post, I cruise through when I'm taking a break. Btw Matt, I totally forgot about that last pm you sent until now, it looks like I may not have much to add given your current situation but if I can help you with anything else regarding our conversation lemme know.

you can probably understand why im doing all of this alot more than others can from our conversations. if there is anything i can help you with let me know Dan. its not a problem at all - you are extremely talented and i appreciate everything you have done for me

I get in to work at about 3:45. I'm not up the latest, but I am one of the earliest.

After going to collage 3 times .... I did very good in school, my IQ is over 160 .... getting a "real" job I became a Buddhist / gypsy gave up most of my physical belongings and responsibility's and illusions of what security is .... I make a lot less money ... less than 50 G last year. This year has been bad to say the least. What I got in return was little or no stress ~ this equals good health and real freedom. Most people think I am 10 or more years younger than I am. I have never had any real health problems. I do what I want when I want, answer to no one and do not owe a dime to anyone or anything. I own what I have and could care less about "having" things. I am much more happy.

Some how managed to have the same girl most of the last 20 years. We split and came back together.

Most peoples ego's and self importance would not allow them to do this of their own free will. I would not recommend this to anyone .... the change takes a lot of intent to take on.

 

[bravedude2]

i can really understand the no sleep thing, i went through about a 7 month period where i couldn't sleep at night or get 2 hrs of sleep and i changed my personality! that heart disease is one bad mofo! but i'm sleeping better, and feeling better, i can play my guitar again without getting out of breath. damn i missed my girls!

sounds like someone i know, though he never went to college and dropped out of school, he had a fair amount of jobs over his time all that he enjoyed, bought some properties, rents them out and now lives in thailand doing what ever he wants... normally surfing, spending time with his girlfriend... and he is making enough money to live off and have money left over to buy what ever he wants...sounds like a good life to me ? he says he is the happiest he has ever been. money means nothing to me like a lot of things in this world.

 

[stephen sawall]

I really feel sorry for people who fall into that trap. I mean we all need money to live. But for many they chase it all their life's and the more money they have the more unhappy they become. They have the false idea that things well make them happy or some false security.... things often do make you happy at first, but before long it just becomes a responsibility and loss of freedom. I have seen this over and over again. Often in friends and family. Some how they just become slaves for others who are farther up on this false pyramid. There is no security ... everything even your life can be taken away at any time. If you watch them they only become old, bitter and afraid.
Life is to be lived ..... not to become a slave.

half my family is like this. doctorates for no reason when they were doing fine with masters degrees, huge overkill house for only 2 people, 3 bay garage, hybrid cars, etc.

they have become a slave to their posessions. i no longer speak to them because my views on life/money is much different. i love music - business aspect or not and is what i want to do the rest of my life. ill get an education to fall back on but thats just in case. my views on religion are a little different... been through enough that i've gotten to the point i dont need it or never used it.

with that being said i believe you only live one life. enjoy it as much as you can.

 

[stephen sawall]

I wonder if this thread well take off again in the middle the morning. It was kind of strange .... I never seen that happen before. I have had conversation on here then with one or two .....

 

[glpg80]

who knows steve that was wierd. it was like an instant calling for everyone all at once. i do know one thing - its 2:30 and we're here as usual lol

 

[stephen sawall]

I keep telling myself I should go to bed early .... I need to do a bunch laundry and other stuff before Friday as I am supposed to go out of town with a friend. Her mother is getting married Saturday. But as usual I probably well not go to sleep till day break.
