The "OMG! If Only I Knew back Then" Thread
Opened Guitar Player Magazine from June 1992 today.
This caught my eye: Exactly twice the price of the 5150 in the same article and $295 cheaper than the VHT Pitbull.
Final line of the review said, "The waiting list for the Express is quite long. You pay for the amp when it's finished. If you're unhappy for any reason, simply return it within a week for a full refund."

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

If Only I Knew back Then that Dave Grohl was going to play a Trini Lopez.

So you could have sold one while it still had value?GrantB wrote:If Only I Knew back Then that Dave Grohl was going to play a Trini Lopez.

I got offered a Klon Centaur for US$200 when I was working onboard QE2, would have been late 90's. It was a few days before we could draw our wages and I didn't have enough cash to buy the pedal and maintain my social life.
From memory he traded it for a microphone at a music store in new York.

If only I knew the price for a les paul was going to be what it is now I never would have sold mine in the mid 90's
If Less is More Then Just Think How Much More More would be

Bitcoin. $100 of it in 2010 is now $75 million

Music related tho, Les Pauls obviously, but radio valves. Some serious money if you manage to dig up a few thousand old military surplus 12AX7s etc. Knowing they would fetch the kind of money they do now, I would have bought every one i could find back in the 80s.

I should have kept my 60's AC30 I had in the late 80's also the pair of Leek Point One and Quad mono block HiFi amps. Then there was my Linn Sondeck and all my vinyl. Oh and the two Quality Street tins of NOS valves I dumped in a skip along with the HiFi amps in 1999 when I moved house.
I guess Apple shares would have been good too.

Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I have a mate who is massively into his vintage hi-fi, I think he'd have a little cry if I told him that.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Re: The "OMG! If Only I Knew back Then" Thread
I had a pair of Leak TL/12's, a pair of Quad II's and a Quad 22 pre-amp. I ran them into massive horn speakers which were about 6ft tall. It was all passed down to me from grandad. When I bought my first house I had to get rid of the horn speakers as I had no room. The amps when in the cupboard under the stairs for years and eventually went in a skip. Fucking idiot looking back now.
