Let's see your rig!

i forgot to mention the most important part of my rig, the bottle opener on the 18 cab.

What *is* a "tone ring" cab anyway?

a tone ring speaker cab was Fender's first attempt (i think) making a ported speaker cab. it involved a ring of sorts that was coupled with a baffle that allowed the air to vent around the edges of the speaker instead of out a port in the speaker cabinet.

... the bottle opener on the 18 keb.

Gotta love the Kiwi's...

buuurrrrp

Ease up on the gas, Tone...

Do they still "gas" the beers...? my (late) uncle used to do part-time work in bars in Napier (Ahuriri Tavern?) and described using a gassing pipe prior to serving...?

[clankenstein]

that was the bad old days.lots of boutique beers ,the days of just db or lion brown(blech) are but a nasty memory.

[Freuds_Cat]

one of my top and most favorite beers

There are more "real" ales here than there ever has been before, even for sad veggies like myself...

Here in Fort Collins two of the 8+ craft breweries operating in town are about 100 yards apart.  We had guests and went as a party of six to brewery #1, sampled 18 beers, then walked to the next and sampled another 12 beers.  (Fortunately all in about 3 oz glasses we passed around).  I'd never tasted 30 beers in a little over 2 hours.  Fortunately these are less than a mile from home, and I drove home quite carefully.

In my bad old days 12 pints was feasible in a session but I got sensible, sort of...

Of the two bottles of Malt I took down from the Isles last summer I still have half a bottle left... Mind you, I did crack a 1972 Talisker at Christmas that was finished at my friends down in Devon last week - one of my dad's "special" reserve...

Hmm... I'm tempted to have a dram now...

I thought that was traditionally phrased as "a wee dram"....

[clankenstein]

mmmmm talisker .....

[Highlander]

Wee drams are for guests -  always leave them wanting more... mine was a LARGE dram...

I am having issues...

My Hiwatt is presently RIP - that cap failure I was pushing happened, but at least it wasn't catastrophic... she went out with a whimper and not a bang...

OK, finally going to post something here! This is the monster rig I brought out last Friday. Top to bottom:

'74 SVT head
custom built (by me) 2x10/1x15 cab
'70s (tilt back) SVT cab

BALLS!  Not to mention tone. The sound guy was cool enough to take both a DI, and mic on the 15, which is my favorite way to go. I typically just use the top cabinet on its wheels, but this particular show was a biggie - 3 bands, with lots of local rock hot shots in the house. Had to bring the biggest gun!

You trying to "out Scott" Scott, Tom...?
