The Amp Garage

So sad isn't it? I spent a whole summer restoring a 71 Bonneville on a college kids budget and really loved the outcome only to have it stolen from me after 3 months. I still turn around and look to see if its my taken bike each time I hear that unmistakable British twin thump coming down the stree...

Who is working in/near Nashville that would take on a failed Matchless SC-30? How difficult is it to get parts - I guess that question is actually, "Does Matchless use proprietary parts?" Can a tech easily get parts for (or from) Matchless? There isn't anything in a Matchless that a good amp tech c...

"Only real men ride ironheads" Only real men weld ironhead cases back together, they get 'em straight so they don't leak oil. Then... one good kick and they're broke again... :twisted: Broke both ways. It takes time and skill to get it right. Time costs money. My unconditional guarantee: You broke ...

What's not to love? They never break and if they do you can fix them with a piece of wire nicked from the roadside fence.

/5 needs /6 front brake, though.

Geez haven't Vincent prices gone up though?

I had a demented idea between the raindrops the other day... a Vincent chopper / streetfighter. I know exactly how I'm going to do it.

Living in Southern California is like being trapt in High school. It's clickish, tendy, fake, and if the girls weren't half naked I would have dropped out a long time ago. As far as humble, I started at the bottom and worked my way up I'm not to where I want to be but I'm getting there. Those tits ...

on a totally off track side note... This is a picture of the guitar I write on, literally too, I supose. It's a bitch to play the action is rough, it has no tone, the strings are the same ones it came with in '95, I drew all over it in high school with a sharpie, and yet everytime I pick it up I wr...

I used to ride mountain bike in the studio, does that count?

I used to own a Rolex. I looked down one night, I had totally wasted my Rolex on a door knob.

When I'm on the road, Attitude is not something I need more of, and the union houses are always full of it. I'm freelance and the Union hates that. I'm not entirely sure why. Because you're either part of the solution or part of the problem. That of course starts spinnin' like Robert Johnson @ 78 r...

I picked up a 1980 Marshall 1959 head (Plexi Circuit) recently. Last week I decided to field test it at my Thursday session. This amp has unbelievable volume. I have other 100Watt amps including a 1979 JMP, but this one is insanely loud. I pulled two tubes and turned my cabinet to the wall, but it ...

future strippers of america unite! Funny you mention that. I'm writing a book. If you think the stuff I post here is flipped-out just wait and see! I read chapters to anyone I can corner, victims erm I mean my audience. I'm reading to a 42 y.o. severely diabetic blonde who pumps gas at the local So...

I want to start my own trailer park with a performance arena smack dab in the middle. Of course you'll need to rent a hotel room in the next town over if you ever want to sleep... :twisted: Ooh! OOH! I want my own trailer park, I'll start a College of Cosmetology on the adjacent property. Maybe a ha...

Buddy of mine keeps a big Newfoundland chained to his workshop. Nice big friendly dog. He'll let anyone in, then he won't let them out.

I was wondering about the Redneck culture, I was guessing it was pretty good 'ol boy. I might need to have you out to give me lessons in ignant. I tend to stay at home when i'm not working but it's probably best to be prepared. Question? - can I just shoot first and ask ? later? Being able to talk ...
