I have a peavy amp too. I used to used to use it when I was an asshole freshman in college... because if I wanted to rock out with my cock out on a saturday night, the entire dorm building deserved to shake.

At the Beard Competition, when they asked us questions about ourselves, people with particularly interesting facial hair... if they played an instrument, it was always the bass guitar.

Is this... A Thing?

But I associate bass with cute rocker girls. Does this mean they need to grow beards?

I want there to be some joke here about Kim Deal dating Frank Black, making the cute rocker girl the actual beard, but I'm either too tired or not smart enough to make it.

Speaking of Frank Black... Bluefinger has started it's run and it's getting great reviews.

So... as discussed before, Frank Black has been on my WATCH LIST, and I'd not been listening to him.   I heard a bit of some Grand Duchy stuff.   What the hell... I liked it.


Also, topically:  I do not own a Peavy amp.  I have a Fender bass amp, and a Kramer practice amp.  Though I need to replace the fuse in the Kramer.  My son was using it while he was doing some kinda Eastern European Oontz Oontz Soundscapes with a Korg minisynth.  (He's the one in the family with musical talent.)  I guess the techno was a little too metal for the amp.

My ladyfriend had a Zip drive and a bunch of Zipdisks in our closet.   A few months ago, I went through the process of pulling the drive out, finding a computer with a parallel port, and copying everything off of those disks over to a hard drive for her.   Then we went through them with a bottle of wine and enjoyed the wayback machine. 

Good times.

The homemade part was assumed.  I think I'll go look at some homemade porn now.  Hey, it's my ex-girlfriend's titties from 10 years ago.  Win!

Edit:  Dang, I had forgotten about some of that stuff.  :D

my amp is depressingly high-tech.

it turns out you can't buy "just a Vox amp" unless you want to spend thousands of dollars. The cheaper amp is all fancy and digital and pretends to be other amps. I mostly set it to "Vox AC30," which makes me feel stupid.

My old amp was a Crate, which kind of sucked. Sometimes I miss how few knobs it had, though. If i have more knobs, I will spend more time fiddling with those knobs.

I don't play often enough to remember how to make my amp do what I want it to do when I want to change it up.

also, apparently part of the emulation is that the different knobs do slightly different things when you set it to emulate different amps.

so like, old fender amps didn't have a "gain" knob, so that knob does some other thing when you set the amp to Fender. WHAT.

I almost got an amp like that, but then I didn't.
