I've been down to london for the weekend, and as i needed to be back today i decided for the first time not to use the bike (for the "blizzards" - yeah riight). So it was left in the garage for 3 days....
just got back to find this!

I use the PodXT Live and a couple of other stompboxes (for when some more flexibility is needed), great piece of kit. ;)

It reminds me of a Doctor Statham moment from Green Wing.

I like to think they rode it in, like D-Day in Animal House...

I would have been well p1ssed off it that were me!! Do your 'mates' have no respect for personal property?
Not only have they pinched your keys, they have subjected your pride and joy to an aurduous journey thrgouh tight spaces to get it in your room - which again they have entered without your permission ... ... what if they had damaged the bike in the process?!!?!?
Like I said, I'd not have been pleased :smt073and the first thing I'd have done is checked the bike over ...
... you have to get it out again yet ...
I'd have stuggled to find the funny side ... :smt062

Variax? Pah.
Solid State? Pah
Valves is what you want. I got 400W of 'em in my rig...and it absolutely wastes the 400W solid state rig it replaced.
Nice looking bike by the way...

I'll probably waste the €1000 (£700?) I've paid for the lot (Pod + Vax), too. :smt116 But yeah, I'm with you on that one, wouldn't mind having a full valve toy myself.
A Mesa would be fine. Any of them. :roll:

Good point, I bet they knicked your Frankie while they were in there...
Don't forget to run a hose out the window when you fire her up :smt030
Well, I can only hope for you that it doesn't turn out to be like one of those space defying sofas!
Y'know the ones, you can get them into your livingroom, but by the time it comes to moving house they appear to have grown (or the doors have shrunk) and you can never get them out again.
So... um... how big is that window?! ;)

well i've got a history of pulling practical jokes myself :P so i don't mind. although it is bloody sunny today and i've got the afternoon off! this house really has the narrowest corridors, it was quite impressive.
As for guitars, yeah a rack of planks and amps would be awesome. But the budget doesn't allow it, so its the next best thing. they play really well too (the 600 model) bit of a bargain if you ask me!

Bingo. Mine is just the 300, hardtail, I couldn't afford nor justify the extra cost over the 600 at the time, but I might be tempted to invest in a new one when I have the cash. Maybe wait for the next generation. ;)

Pah!!! Too many strings! Too damn thin as well. 5 string bass guitar is the way forward. 500 watt Peavey stack I play through aint too shabby either.

Yup, it looks like it, but we also have some people standing halfway between being drummers and musicians (isn't that the definition of bass player)?
:-P
