could you bring a tank of nitrous to the dallas party? If not that stuff they plunge into the IV before darkness will do!
Sharon can I bring you some pics to evaluate? Its ok right after you can have some nitrous and forget about this marvel of science that refuses to have a physical.....

and to think I refrained from telling Jack that he had cojones posting that pick of the PP rig..... almost like a Texan admitting he cried during Brokeback Mountain or something , flaunting pics of that rig
(don't worry Jack, we all know where the Bov-Tone comes from....... the utters man, the utters)

About as ballsy as Mark posting his rig pig with a Fender I'd say.

I've had the Peavey (pee-wee) Dream Rig for so long that I now forget what it cost me or any other details, other than: I was playing weekly at a jam session where the amplification was sometimes questionable, so I set out to buy some stuff (stuff = crap) that didn't cost me an arm and a leg and that I could leave at the club without sitting up at night, worrying about where it was or who was using it.
Solution? THE PAWN SHOP! So I ended up with the Peavey Sessionbass head and the 1-15 cab, which still smells like cheap beer and drunken grannies, but sounds suprisingly good.
For the record, I do not use the Peavey Dream Rig. Couldn't tell you the last time it was fired up. But as TK assumes, it IS loud.
Feast your tired eyes upon this:
I've been sitting here tonight, playing the Red Menace through that amp and a couple of Ampeg cabs and couldn't possibly be happier.
Somewhere around here, as you know, I also have a Sunn 1200s.
My amplification rocks, sir.
Except for the Dream Peavey Rig.
But, in a pinch......

again Jack.... you come out on top with the EA (although my SVT4 and I would give you a run )
(great Texan band that did that little ditty, long live the Toadies!!)

Hi Doc! Welcome to the forum.
Bass amplification power should be akin to your car. More horsepower than what you really need.
Get a big, nasty SVT and an even bigger and nastier fridge to go with it.

1+ on the nitrous!
BP - I'm up for a consult anytime - w/ or w/o a right kidney.
GB - The high res tele from home is still in the future for now - I'm a residency director - so its 4 kids at home, 20 at work... But it keeps me young. They're almost as politically incorrect as the forumites here!!

Golly,
This place is whack. And I didn't even bring out the nitrous. Wow, that would be a funny little "experiment". Take a hit of nitrous and then see who can play!!! Would sort of be Hendrix like, eh? If I give you all nitrous and a little sevoflurane, I bet you I can play better than you all! Muahaahaaa!!!
Sharon, quick, hold BP down after I give the stuff so he can get that physical... So you're a "cool" residency director. Mine didn't play guitar.
But seriously, thanks for the input, especially on the rigs. It's impressive the variation that's out there in terms of amps, but at least the guitars themselves are very consistent.
Off to do a C-section...

Wow. BP that goes beyond words. As a GU specialist, that's something I see from time to time, so I am very aware of the need for research. Asa parent of a child with (comparitively very minor!) kidney issues, I am speechless.
Thank you
Thank you

Welcome Ed!
From what you've already posted I think you are going to fit in just fine around here. Congratulations on the new ax.

Hey thanks for the kind words......I have spent a fair amount of time in hospitals myself becasue of this. Casey is doing really well. We just did new liver and heart tests and he came out good!
I also have spent eight years on the Board Of Directors and Executive Committee At Mattel Chilldrens Hospital at UCLA. The Pediatric nephrology research lab is named after Casey and we have endowed a chair at UCLA for pediatric nephrology.
What I am exited about now is a unique new research model that uses UCLA as the "hub" and very specific talented researchers at other institutions getting money from the Casey Lee Ball Foundation as the "spokes" and UCLA being the center of this concept. It is called the Casey Lee Ball International Collaborative Research Network.
As you know in medicine with the competitive nature of NIH and Drug companies grants most research is closed in until completed. With this new idea it is structured as a collaboration and not a competition. Lets see if it works! I was able to convice the big wigs of my crazy ideas. ( of course we arre funding it)
The CLB has done many thinngs over and above raising money. We have somewhat sucessfully helped bring a more entrepenurial model to leveraging contributions. At UCLA we were the first to establish a "rookie" research grant. The first reciepient won national recognition and is now running her own program. We also establised a program that provided gap funding for when the NIH or Drug Companies grants ended and the research wasn't done. In the past the research died until the formal grant process was reinstated. We have also brought several drugs to the market, some of which Casey is on!
Sorry to go on about this but as you can tell I am very dedicated to helping other children that suffer from the more than fifty terminal pediatric kidney diseases.

BP - Funding is always the kink - that's a really exciting concept you've got there - I wish there were more out there that think like that! Imagine where we'd be!
I'm so glad to hear that Casey is doing well - that's awesome!!
GB - so that I don't continue to hijack your thread - I have a little 12" Hartke that I use as a stage monitor and run through the PA for gigs, w/ Toomy's band (no drummer), for other gigs, I have an ancient 100W padded Kustom that still cranks.
