I still have that Sound City 120 head. The homemade 4x12 cabinet (loaded w/ Radio Shack 12" speakers) is still in my garage. I think the Pignose is somewhere in the house too.

Sadly, my '69 Econoline E300 Supervan, the Traynor YB1-A, and the '74 SG have all moved on.

Oh yeah, the "afro" is thankfully gone as well.


It's a boy Mrs. Walker, it's a boy...

Re: John Donovan *&^@ Rocks

what were you using that Pignose for?

Re: John Donovan *&^@ Rocks

Sometimes I used it as an additional preamp in front of the Sound City.

I wish I was still that skinny.

the michelob atop the amp is perfect.

the lamented sg is a painful reminder of family relics that have departed:

vintage chris-craft.  vintage wooden old town canoe. 

i'm gonna go have a good cry.

<p>I'm sure that little cooler was also full of beer. It's funny, I don't remember ever being a Michelob drinker, and one of my little tricks was always to leave a roll of duct or gaffers tape on my amp head (note that it is present but empty) to keep my beer from vibrating or tipping over into the head, so that may have been someone else's beverage?

I really miss that van though. Had me some darn good times in that baby. Ex-phone company truck painted battleship gray, and with the yellow revolving flasher still mounted on top when I got it. Really sexy. LOL.

It could carry an ungodly amount of equipment.

i could have used this wisdom on friday.  and you might have saved yourself a carlsberg flavored backstroke.
