Yes. I know. It reads like something an idealistic adolescent might say. We buy Chinese goods despite their treatment of certain minorities. And you barely need scratch the surface of other countries to find other abuses etc etc etc. But ultimately the only control you have is as a consumer so when you're able to exercise choice, make a choice. Completely inconsequential and hypocritical when compared to a thousand other decisions you might make that day. I'll concede that.

Let's hope so. And let's hope Putin is held to account.

There used to be a movie called "Kill Bill" there needs to be the equivalent for Putin.

Same here. Almost.

Re: Get at them tubes..
Me too, 50 years of tube amps. Only one awkward failure when out on tour I had to play a show in Shefield Town Hall DI'd into the Front of house PA. A whole show with a clean plinky guitar sound.Slowy wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 4:31 amSame here. Almost.

Might also be picking up an original 64 Bassman today but I doubt it has the original glass...

Re: Get at them tubes..
Pretty much the same - with the exception of GZ34’s vs the Standby Switch. Now I just don’t just the standby switch where an amp has a tube recto.kdawg2a wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 1:59 pm In my 30+ years of being a guitar playerist I have pretty much only ever used tube amps, some new and some old.

I’d add that the most interesting sounding amps are often the ones with old mismatched tubes, that “need” replacing. Nope!

Re: Get at them tubes..
Hmm, out of maybe 8 amps with tubes, I've had issues with 3. I guess I'm having all the bad luck for you fellas.

There's always Shugang I guess too.... not ideal, I know - but we'll get through!
This will all be over soon as apparently there's a coup brewing in Putin's inner circle... or maybe the PR intern at CIA's media propaganda unit got a little excited
