I don't post in here hardly at all but this is a sentimental loss. Mike Sr really helped me understand how unique, gifted, and meaningful Bowie was and I'm both grateful and saddened. RIP Bowie.
So I woke up and turned the radio on, and am just stunned. Best example for me of Bowie reinvention was the side-long instumental Warszawa from Low (1977). A late night track, in the dark with a drink. I honestly thought he was immortal. Shit.
Shame. Nevertheless, that's what I've got. I'm not about to buy a different amp to play loaner headphones, even though this is Head Case. I'll see about imbalance or channels cutting out. Hopefully it won't be an issue.
I heard a beta pair at his shop in Tianjin before, so I'll be interested to see how these measure up.
go ahead and try other compatible tubes. whats the worst that can happen, fried tubes or blown parts.
i have tried kt88, 6550 and 6l6, all end up the same way with G3 toasted.
I used to commute to Baltimore everyday and would crank this over and over. Back when I had a real car audio system.
Some of my favorite bass textures of all time are on this.
So there was a limited run by "Wired Guitarist" of PRS SE Custom 24 sixes and sevens. This was several months ago. They've just started delivering to the retailer. I got one of the purple ones.
