Oh god... I should check when I last had my tetanus booster.
I've only recently learned that rust doesn't cause tetanus, amazing!
How can I be sure I'm here?
The pills that I've been taking confuse me...

$600. BUT…..it came with the original Vox 2 x 12, which has a mint pair of mint late 60’s Oxford made Alnico Gold Bulldogs, and chrome Vox tilt stand. The Gold Bulldogs sound VERY similar to Silvers. Figured price of admission was well worth the price of the cab/speakers alone.
