I haven't been around here much lately and I'm sorry I'm so slow to respond. I've been dealing with a few other losses that hit pretty close to home. Sorry Bill, you will be missed around here.RIP.

I couldn't agree more. All three should be very thankful for their success.

Bill's Shop: Projects, Mods & Repairs / Re: Do you use the horn in your 2x10 cab?

« on: March 22, 2016, 04:00:12 AM »

I use a 2x12 Avatar cab with a horn. It has neo Eminance speakers which are not real high and crisp, but great on the low end. Like Pilgrim, my horn is set at about 25% and that provides just enough of a crisp edge when I want it.
Prior to getting a cabinet with a horn I was a very anti-horn guy ,but I've learned to appreciate their value when paired with a strictly low end speaker. I like it in my situation. However, if you have a speaker that delivers a decent amount of upper end there is really no need for a tweeter.

Just when you thought the makeup of this forum couldn't be any worse we have our first numerologist outing ...

Reminds me of a quote from Slip Mahoney of the Bowrey Boys, " my brudder-in-law who happens to be a mathemagician could recite you Einstiens fear of relatives frontways and backwards practically at the same time".

The Outpost Cafe / Re: Keith Emerson RIP

I mentioned earlier about how Emerson never failed to wow the crowd, but after thinking about that comment, I believe it calls for some elaboration. He was freakin' amazing

! I saw ELP their first tour, shortly before the first album hit the stores. Absolutely jaw dropping amazing from beginning to end. His playing , his theatrics , his ability to toss around that stripped down B3 all over the stage and then at the tail end of "Lucky Man" he broke out the Moog stick synth and just mesmerized a packed house with a sound no one had ever experienced before. WOW!! Thousands of great musicians have never done what he could do to a crowd. Even after the thrill of the trick technology had worn off, he still had that ability to captivate an audience like only a handful of the greatest of the great could.
Again, RIP Amigo.

I saw Nice once and saw ELP at least a dozen times. In their heyday ELP was one of the best shows you could catch. Keith Emerson never failed to wow the crowd.
RIP amigo.
