I'm guessing they slashed the speaker as some sort of half-assed attempt to prevent there being a working amp in there

For my bday, I got a LH Martin DX Johnny Cash acoustic. Always wanted a Martin, and while it is MFD (ie: no sick fukken tone woodz!!1) and made in Mexico, I really dig it. Anyway, all of my favorite guitars are made in Mexico, so it'd be madness to stop now!  (Picture taken in my kid's room.)

I've been without an amp for almost a year now thanks to my HX stomp. It replaced my 6505mh stack and interface! But I grew tired of always wearing headphones to jam out. So I decided to make a wet/dry rig with a solid practice amp. My HX Stomp send processed signal to my computer for recording, and sends a dry signal to this beast:  Orange Crush 20. With an overdrive in front, it's fine for metal tones, but gahhh does it feel good to hear an amp move air again.

This is the most difficult part of loving my silent recording rig. It is everything I've wanted from silent recording. But I never reckoned with how much I would miss my fat body getting blasted by heroically stupid SPLs.  Basic bitch af but I replaced my high output SD Distortions with a Pearly Gates in the bridge and am going to get a P90 for the neck. Distortions do the one thing they do but that ain't me, as much fun as it is to play that sound.

 Temporary set up while I either repair the combo cab or hack it into a head cab. The slashed speaker is deader than dead I tried it out briefly to see if maybe it'd be able to be patched up but it passes no sound. What's a good upgrade speaker for the 6505? I also have an Ampeg V4 cab in storage that would work great with this but I have no room for it here.

This cab I've got it running through now is a 1x15 it's really a bass cab but it sounds pretty good so far. I usually run an old Acoustic (brand) solid state head through it and use it as a keyboard amp. I'll have to remove the baffle board to fix the blown out speaker mounts in the cab portion so I may as well make the head conversion at the same time. Maybe could squeeze 2 12" speakers in if they are staggered corner to corner I'll have to play around with it.

Found a mystery fretless bass at an estate sale:  Has the fender bridge cover and the neck plate just says "JAPAN". Not really sure if I can identify it more than that but it's a decently light fretless bass I can mess around with.

Looks like a Matsumoku-made bass, possibly like this Raven branded one: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/pickups-in-a-raven-matsumoku-guitars-bass.1391175/ Take the pick guard off and see if that awful faux wood shelf liner is covering up another pickup route and switch area. Edit: looks like they made a single pickup version as well, which may be more likely since it lacks neck binding like yours - https://www.reddit.com/r/Guitar/comments/5bibzn/question_raven_bass_guitar_jbass_from_the_60s70s/ DrChu fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Sep 23, 2020 |

 I finally went and did it. No more analog console. As much as I love running OOTB, the lack of space caused by transitioning to working from home has emboldened me to venture further into in-the-box solutions. I learned on a Yamaha O2R96 so it felt very natural to transition to an X32-series board. Plus, it fits perfectly on top of my 19" Samson wheeled rack. Going from taping basic-rear end 2i/2o to a digital board with a proper card that can do simultaneous 32i/32o is like opening your eyes for the first time. I loaded up an old Pro Tools sessions and bussed all my submixes out to feel out the final mix/mastering workflow (limited to 8 internal FX racks in the console, so not really suited for submixing unless you were hyperfocused) and it feels so seamless. For the first time in ages, it actually feels effortless to fire up the rig and start making music. Saving scenes for specific songs while they're in progress means skipping the 30 minutes of redoing the channel strip and allows me to work on so much more music so much faster. Anyway I know digital consoles like this have been around for ages and aren't new technology but actually owning one is a night and day difference. Plus being able to do remote DAW control and have motorized faders for mixing soft synth stuff is fantastic. gently caress yeah

This was kinda exciting for me. My buddy just bought himself a knock-off MIJ Jazz Bass and another friend asked him if he was going to buy a bass amp. I already know enough about the guy that he's definitely not into the idea of adding bass rigs to his huge guitar amp collection. I cruised by the Tech 21 NYC Sansamp bass page looking for my old VT Bass pedal or the next iteration of it, and was surprised to see three signature models. (Models which, I am told, can be completely recreated in the Sansamp PSA 2.0, but that's just my old bassist's opinion.) There were three flavors of Geddy Lee, a Steve Harris (which I am sure is the one my buddy will need for his style of writing), and to my extreme joy there is a dUg Pinnick model. Apparently they made it like six years ago and I just never looked. I just got one, it's tiny. I'm about to plug in and try the headphone out. I just can't get over how they managed to smoosh a huge two amp rig into some circuitry in this little metal enclosure. It's sharp, and the YouTube of dUg playing his sounds dead-on. He says in the video he put it in his gig bag and took it on tour and that's all he used. Between that and the VT Bass I think I won't be needing anything else for tracking demo tracks on bass. I don't really do his tone that much but I definitely like the bass amp + guitar amp (like, say, that insane Pearce amp) method and this little tiny guy sounds pretty versatile per the suggested settings in the manual (from dUg to Chris Squire to Paul McCartney.)  Here's dUg playing his (warning: Sweetwater video). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxFYIpP7qi4

Not exactly new, but these cabs have been sitting in a storage unit for like 12 years and I'd totally forgotten about them. Cleaned it out and was pleasantly surprised! Of course I don't have a bass amp anymore since I'd moved to ITB for bass sounds, but I'll probably be grabbing some smaller bass head so I can properly rock out again. The Mesa is a Powerhouse 1000, the Hartke is a VX1508. Got the mesa for $400 from a friend, which I'm sure he regretted lol.

My friend asked for my address a week ago and said he was going to mail me some old pedals I had left at his house a few years ago (a phaser a trem and an analog delay). The box showed up and I went to open the package and had a heart attack because he put this on top of the stack in an unmarked box:
