Man, I miss that head sometimes.

I did the same with two fawn JMP half stacks, in around 1991 or so.

Sorta like this:



I cry sometimes thinking about how much I sold those amps for. Ok, I dont cry, but only because I have no feelings at all.

Damn, you are bringing back the sadness. I sold a 78 fawn JMP Super Bass early in this century. That amp was crazy.

originally misread this as "Moog Mood Ring," which I might be interested in for some reason.

I sold a Silverface Deluxe Reverb for $75 at a Volkswagen swap meet in 1995. The guy talked me down from $100.
What was I thinking? I'm not a heroin addict... I was just young and inexperienced.

The Karma was returned when I scored a Brownface Princeton for $30 at a different swap meet a few years later.

PS... I want a Moog Mood Ring!!
Would it make Theremin sounds to tell you how happy/sad you are?

I bought a 50 watt silverface bassman in perfect shape for $200 about 9 years ago, needed the money a few months later and sold it for about what I paid into it with shipping and all. I kept an Ampeg VL-50something though, for a few years around that time. I was really into Hum and I thought I'd need the high gain amp to rip them off better. Man was I kicking myself once I finally realized that the Ampeg I had sounded like bees farting on cardboard, and I could have just gotten a good distortion pedal for the bassman. Since then I don't really have any big regrets with gear purchases/sales.

Oh, except I bought a POD thinking it would be great for apartment living a few years ago. It's currently on permanent loan to a friend.

I have one for this reason, and for the fact that it's s my home computer basic audio interface. I'd use it a lot more if I had a good pair of headphones.
