Watsup Gabbers?

New member here.
I've played guitar about 19 years. Been in a few bands, did some traveling.
I've played the drums alot as well, I used to be good in my teens/early 20's but I barely play anymore and I am just too out of shape to play what I like (metal)
I am a family guy now but still like to play. Just starting a new band and we will do the weekend thing.
I do not have much money but I am addicted to amps and gear.
Thought I would join in on the fun.

A pair will suffice.
But I was gonna give him a little while on the board before harping BL80's on him. I'm not THAT annoying bro, quit making me look bad.

When you're ready to grasp awesomeness... BL80's. The power is to great for many to wield.
not really... just ignore me. everyone else does.

I'm not ignoring you. It's just I can't hear your BL80 BS over the awesomeness of my AXA12's, G12H30(55)'s, and EVM12L's.
No I wasn't referring to ignoring my speaker recommendation. I just meant in a general sense.

Is this how you found out - watching this vid?
That musta been one helluva W T F ? ! ? ! ? ! moment
I had a similar one with an old 70's Fender Twin Reverb that I'd had for years. When I went to sell it and was tearing it down for gut shots, I discovered a pull-pot on the master volume. Got real excited until I plugged in in and found out that they should'a called that the 'Turd' switch. Some fucker at Fender CBS apparently didn't understand that gain boost was supposed to be musical.

Not sure how to multi quote but I have noted:
Completely ignore Mike, never try BL80's or Bass picks and buy a super sweet randall with a secret EVH knob.

Welcome.
1. Only refer to Mike as Modest Mike.
2. Gear whoredom abounds.
3. Trust us, you shouldn't fucking trust us. At all.
4. The entire board is obsessed with fucking around, and our motto is "doesn't fuck around."
5. If you don't Les Paul, you firewood. (I don't Les Paul.)
That should get you started.

Should become the standard issue to all new members.
Some of us bust balls. Some of us are cunts. Don't confuse one for the other

Ha! Those CBS Fuckers are real scallywags!
Yup, that's the video that filled me in on the big secret. I was actually looking for schematics for the RG80 when I came across the video.
After seeing part about the pull knob, I pretty much ran to the amp to see what it was all about.
I owned that amp for 25 years so, it was like a second HNAD!!! It was an exciting moment to say the least!
The pull out is really great for bedroom levels but, not live. The amp really sings at full volume.

I'll top ya. I Schecter and Epiphone, and love both. I double down on the suck.

Better than double blow...
I can say I despise every Schecter I have ever layed hands on however I hear the new line is better with thinner neck profiles and Board radius?
The ones I have played sounded great but the necks were very bad for me. I am more of a Wizard kind of guy.
