Gerald Weber Tube Guitar Amp Servicing and Overhaul video
This video arrived in a wild torrent of bits. Somehow they all got rearranged so that I could actually view it. I don't even know what to say about it...except it's bizarre.

Is that the one where he shocks the shit out of himself?

Re: Gerald Weber Tube Guitar Amp Servicing and Overhaul video
I've heard it reported that way, but that's not what happened. He touches the input jack, makes the amp buzz and then jumps like he got shocked. It was a joke that apparently many people did not get.

Oh...haha, ok, that would make more sense...I only saw the punchline and not the setup.vibratoking wrote:I've heard it reported that way, but that's not what happened.

Ive never met gw but my initial response by looking at him is this guy is hi on coke. Again I have no idea about him or what he does. I just been around a lot of junkies.
I think a lot of his stuff is pure bs

GW is OK. He doesn't really teach much theory. He is more of a practical teacher. So if you want to know how to Blackface a Silverface Fender, his info can be useful. For many here, he is a bit elementary. For others, he is quite informative. And like most people who don't teach the theory, sometimes, the overly simplified explanations can sound like BS (and might even be BS). But he is not as messed up as others I've seen and spoken to.
His books actually have a lot of good info in them, mixed in with the useless crap Kind-of like a mixed drink when compared to a nice Scotch on the rocks.

That video is what got me started working on amps (old Fenders). It's a good way to get working without too much theory. I also give him points b/c I bought my favorite old strat from him.

Couple of years back @ early 2012 I think TAG had a corresponent who said he used to work for Gerald Weber. I turned my recollection of his comments into bad poetry.cbass wrote:Ive never met gw but my initial response by looking at him is this guy is hi on coke.

You wonder where your money go:
"hookers and blow and hookers and blow"
You got the picture? I dunno.
That's where he said he saw it go.

Unless TPBs8 prevented you from getting with your Friends with Benedicts, I'm fairly certain you made excellent use of a day.
