Damn, and I'd already painted it blue for you Conway. :roll:

You are indeed, so long as it is blue and does not begin with 'G'. There are 4 Tonare Grands on Reverb right now... 3 with Cocobolo. They don't pop up very often, then they all come at once, like busses I guess.

GAS for an Orange Rockerverb 50, would look spiffing on top of my Marshall cab. That Dr Z on trade me would also suffice come to think of it.
Loving it so far

The one that's in Vancouver looks quite nice. Wish there was a similar one a bit closer.

The thing I've noticed about Booteek amps is that nobody keeps them very long. Old Jansens and no-name handbuilds on the other hand.......
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.

I have a feeling Warren is looking to trade up to the black Morgan AC20 head & cab. I spoke to him about mine.

Small scale builders seem to sell on the fact that they do one thing extremely well and are well built. But if that one thing isn't your thing it's easy to start weighing-up the money against something like a Boogie that'll do a lot more.

The Guitar Magazine features a different US independent builder each month. A while back there was one amp that just had to be a piss take. I think I counted ten components and it was something like five grand. :crazy:

I do wonder what became of my Tamerlane and who has it now. That was a really cool little amp :thumbup:

It's OK. I was waiting for all the other forum owners to chip in.

GASing for a better 2x12 for my Electra Dyne head... Mesa vertical 2x12 or 4x12 (could I even fit it in the car, sigh).

And I'm thinking I want another blueSky even though I sold one and "upgraded" to a BigSky years ago. The Shimmer was better on the small box.
