  1. Three days ago I ordered a new 339 shipping from NY, UPS Tracking shows it just started moving.
  2. Phillip McKnight's opinion as a repairman.
  3. GEARNEWS Article... Epiphone USA Casino and more coming..... The USA Casino ready to order at American Music Supply for $2699.00 ......

  4. An early release 2020 model 339, MusicZoo seems to be one of the few stores that have them, possibly a limited pre-production release. The MusicZoo also has some early release Epi 335's and a few more 339's in stock. ........still some left but they are disappearing....... I just bought a new 2020 339 w/ new headstock w/ natural finish. A few things I noticed; No etching on the nut-plate No Epi "E" on the pickguard No scarf joint, that I can see No coil tapping but full size CTS pots
  5. GAS I think shipping stalled over the weekend, no update since shipping label created. I guess ordering Friday after close of business may not be the best Idea... A few things I noticed; No etching on the nut-plate No Epi "E" on the pickguard No scarf joint, that I can see No coil tapping, but full size CTS pots The new 339 took me by surprise, didn't know anyplace had the new model for sale yet. GAS
  6. I played one of my Stage Right 15w (HB Tube 15) yesterday at my outdoor jam during a heavy rain storm. The loudest setting so far with the Gain on 5 and Volume on 4, sitting about 4 ft away using my red 56 LP, it was screaming. Normally at home I use both amps, it is easy to dial them down to an acceptable level for practicing at home, even without using the 1w setting. But if you gotta have a Marshall, you might like the Origin 20C or even the more basic Origin 5C. Both pretty adjustable basic amps one with a 10 and the other with an 8. In addition the price won't break the bank.
  7. I am really sorry to see him go, I hope his buddy Michael Caine doesn't take this too hard.
  8. Its an early release 2020 model 339, MusicZoo seems to be one of the few stores that have them, possibly a limited pre-production release. Its in NY, the UPS label has been created, I was surprised to get it with free shipping to Hawaii, most online stores don't include Hawaii in their free online shipping plan.. The wait begins......... The MusicZoo also has some early release Epi 335's and a few more 399's in stock. ........still some left but they are disappearing....... GAS attack..
  9. I failed horribly, the New, old original headstock got me..
  10. I have been torpedoed by the GAS U-Boat.
  11. Lurking in the depths like a U-Boat.
  12. I miss my extra wide leather Gibson bass straps that I used on my guitars.. But leather doesn't do well in my current climate..

    Now that a little more time has gone by, how are you liking it?
  14. Possibly averted, but most likely just submerged.
  15. The Bogen's were adequate, we stuck them where ever the cable lengths would allow. We did have 2 of them plus a few amps and cabinets made at our local Gretsch factory.
  16. I love my old Cubes, I started carrying one about 15 years ago to help me get more practice time in. Then found other situations where they were quite useful and added to them until I got to 6 where I reached small club volume. Now I have them strapped together in sets of 2 using Y adaptors to interconnect them. When I join in with a drum circle 1 is usually sufficient, but on a beach with loud crashing waves 2 works better. Also the effects (chorus, flange, phase, tremolo with separate delay or reverb) are tasteful, including 6 amp models from acoustic to rectifier plus a mic setting.
  17. Hmm. At the power level you refer to at the beginning, you may want to consider a good portable battery powered amp that you could easily carry on your New Car adventures. I carried Roland Cubes and set them in the back hatch enabling me to play anywhere. The Rolands are old tech now, they do have upgraded versions, but I'm sure there are quite a few new incredible sounding battery powered amps. One important feature to consider is how long they will play on battery, my Micro Cubes use 6 AA batteries and could play up to 20hrs.
  18. That was old tech even in 71, a Bogen PA cabinet with six 8" speakers. A mixture old and new equipment was the norm for us, as I remember the Bogen cabs didn't hold up for long.
  19. Yep, a place called Papago Park, a very large park with a few ponds and a Zoo.
