Fuck, was listening to some 90’s demos of a band I was in and got nostalgic for a 5150. Went on a lark to try one at a GC and it sounded a lot better than I expected, considering how my tastes have changed, but it was too beat up, so I went and bought another one that was a little more but looked like it was in better shape. Crossing fingers that it
A) gets here in one piece
B) works
C) sounds like the one I tried / hasn’t been modded
I went and checked another one before ordering this one that was priced too high, just to get a consensus on still liking the sound and some genius had replaced it’s power cord with a heavy duty, but two prong, replacement. Who the fuck does that? Plus GC had it labeled as a Block Letter when it wasn’t. Even though the odds were slim, I didn’t feel like getting zapped that day so didn’t plug it in.
I gave thought to the Syn 1 and a 6505 module but I just like having the actual head and haven’t been crazy about the two modules I’ve got to try in the past (Plexi and Bassman).
Shit, I might just play it for a few days and be yeah, it’s not really me anymore and return it, but fuck it. Curious if I will find new things about it now that my playing has evolved since then and I also know a lot more about pedals etc. Back then I just plugged into a tuner, a Bad Horsie and the amp. Never boosted.
