    I am taking your advice and moving into the dog house, anyone want to rent me a room in exchange for use of my gear LOLOL


    I have a spare room, but you'll have to sleep with the guitars......I don't consider it cheating.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    the bonus is it's a murph. you just say, look how old that thing is, of course it's not "new" I've had that for "a while now"


    give her the old female treatment. Truth is relative, that kind of thing.

    If I give her a lump of coal for the guitar I bought, what do I give her if I ever do anything serious? LOL

    I know exactly what you mean. It is cool though, most of those guys are old and if they are givin props to PJ I think its cool, plus they know their gear.

    Boy how I wish I could go out and buy an amp for just one or two songs.

    So your old band is history?

    Yeah, the old (current) band is history. We've got gigs until the middle of June that I am going to play (mostly for the money)...and then that will be it. I got so tired of all the BS, all the argueing, all the not getting anything done fast enough.....I was no longer happy or inspired. I got to the point where I don't even want to be around 2 of the guys, much less imagine going on the road with them full time. I've got a new project with the bass player from that band (he's going to play in both bands....don't ask me) and my best friend on guitar (he kicks ass) along with a drummer that he knows...

    I am excited to get back to playing music for the reason that I started playing in the first place....because it was fun!

    Oh, and two of the guys didn't drink at all...and one of them lives at home with their parents.

    I love the last sentance, that sums it up fairly well LOL.
    Its all about fun and some are lucky and can earn a living. If it aint fun it becomes a chore and then its work, kinda sounds like marriage LOL
    Some of those gearpage guys are either really wealthy, or they have some pimp buying their gear. These guys toss 3K amps around like they are effect pedals. There are people who will go on a quest for tone, you know trying to nail that one song, the end result is possibly owning every single amp made and still not ever being happy. I guess studio muscians are making more these days then I thought :)

    Those audio clips on the Savage site are just a taste of what the amp can do. I was really bummed that they don't have a more driven audio sample...because this amp will to the crunchy Marshall thing as good or better than anything I have played short of an early 70's Super Lead.

    The Blitz can get the gain tones of "Hail Hail" all day long. The clean sound at full power is very reminiscent of "Wind Cries Mary". The class A sounds have a lot of Matchless vibe, though the KT-66's make it a thicker, more dense tone...it definitely picks up the top end shimmer and glassy sound of a Matchless Chieftan or an AC-30. This amp is essentially 2 amps in 1...the full range 50-watt class AB fire breather, or the half power 30 watt class A sparkle machine. If you jumper the channels in either setting, you can dial in sounds that few other amps...even my Wizard...can do. I put the build quality on par with my old Harry Joyce Custom 50, and the Wizard.

    Bogner's are also built exceptionally well for being PC board designs. The Budda does have a lot of Vox flavor, but I find the gain to be more 3 dimensional and organic than nearly any other amp. At full tilt, that amp will not buzz or fart out like most other high gain amps :). Another benefit to Budda, they take a brutal beating on resale, so you can pick one up at up to 50% off it's retail...sort of like what I am offering for my Blitz.

    I am asking 1700 for the Blitz + shipping, but would go to 1600 + shipping for the right kind of person...meaning...someone that is going to appreciate that I am cutting them a sick deal on what amounts to a 3000 dollar amp, and will love it as much as I do, and not fuck it up...because it's a work of art. Hand made...PTP wired, and beautiful. Then again, if you have the money, I don't care if you lube it up with KY and try to have sex with it...as long as you discharge the caps first. I'd feel bad if my former amp electrocuted you in the nut sack while you were attempting to give it the sex. :p. I need some quick loot to pay for the 4x12 I have coming, and to put a down payment on a new guitar that I have spec'd out.

    I should really just keep it and run it in stereo with my Wizard Modern Classic, but I'm not playing the sheds and stadiums like PJ...that rig (Wizrad and Blitz) would be complete overkill for anything less sthan 10,000 seats :D

    Dude, that line almost made me keel over.....hahaha.

    I will definately keep it in mind, but I kinda do have my heart set on a shiva for its simplicity and of course its sounds. Out of curiousity, do you have any pics that you can send me just so I can see what yours looks like?...I'm definately not saying that I'm going to buy it, but I might know someone who does, and I wouldn't mind seeing it.

    A guy on the GP page is offering a used Shiva 1X12 combo with reverb. Now, although what I really want is a Shiva EL34 w/ dual reverb head separately...I was wondering how easy (or if its possible) for me to remove the head from the chassis and put it in a separate chassis (hopefully that doesn't cost that much) and then take the speaker (I'm assuming V30) out of the cab and place it in a Unloaded 2X12 cab along with a Greenback..

    Take a look...

    and tell me if this is feasable...or even worth doing?? Thanks guys.

    from a collectibility standpoint, i wouldn't be dissecting bogners but it is possible to do that if you wanted.

    I won't be really dissecting....I think bogner sells head chassis's separately...I could be wrong?

    They DO sell head shells separately....although they don't list the cost.

    If someone could find this out for me I would really appreciate it. Thanks

    seems to me it'll end up costing more in the end.

    It will end up more expensive in the end. Likely.
