Gibson used a bunch over time: which amp model, and what are the source codes on the speakers - 220 (Jensen), 328 (Utah), 285 (Rola), 137 (CTS), and 134 (Centralab)? This is for the Gibson GA25-RVT, 2 channel, reverb, tremelo - a nice amp, although I can no longer use it live. Here's a pic, it's th...

I've used the search, but nothing seemed to address this directly. I have a pair of 10" Gibson ceramic magnet speakers from the mid-60s. They came from an amp I still own. When I first got it, they were blown and needed to be replaced. Now, I'd like to get them fixed and put back in the amp. Th...

If you want to truly be free, then run Debian or another true *nix. Otherwise, pick the platform that helps you be most efficient and accept its constraints. As for the iPhone, it looks nice, but with the usual waffles--1st gen Apple (no more "Computer" in the name anymore) product, and bo...

I used to have a setup that wasn't loud enough. When I upgraded I went w/the 4x10" Ampeg ported cabinet. I love the 8x10", but as noted, that's often just too much to move (especially given cramped and stair-laden practice spaces). It was all right... until it blew out on the first day of ...

witch hunt - cows - the ringing bass at the beginning up to shannon's first "witch hunt!" cracked actor - bowie - mick ronson's chords at the beginning (with all the room sound), plus the guitar/harmonica drone interplay throughout flying houses - scratch acid - all of it, but especially y...

Monks of Doom From what I've read, after their last album came out, IRS folded. This was only a few years after Baited Breath had folded after they released "Meridian". The series of poor sales, dying labels, and all the usual things that make bands worn out, did them in. However, they've...

seeing Weird Al get a nod just reminded me of two Dr Demento standouts... ..which reminds me of Bob and Doug McKenzie's "12 Beers of Christmas", which I'm also surprised no one else has mentioned. This, to me, brings back memories of the holidays... although that may just be due to growin...

this thread reminds me of my favorite overheard cellphone conversation, as I walked past the "rock shirt" rack at Target recently: "OK, they have the Rolling Stones and AC DC... which do you want?" I think that says it all. there's also this: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article...
