My New Project

[ChasFred]

Well I am at it again. I sold the last one that I build less the speaker.
The buyer had his own ideas as to what he wanted to drive. Soooo I started thinking.
What else had a 15" speaker? I came up with a Tweed Pro 5e5-A.

So now I have a NEW project for when I have nothing to do between working at the barn and upgrading my guitars, and trying to learn how to play these darn guitars.

Awesome

Sweetness...

 

[Cadorman]

Very cool. Always need to have multiple projects going on.

Very cool project. Building amps is extremely rewarding. Look forward to seeing more of this as the build progresses. Cheers

 

[ChasFred]

I am hoping this will scratch the itch I have for the Mesa Tweed.
I am studying other circuits also to try and hot rod this like I did the last amp.

Back when I raced motorcycles, we were hanging out in the pits drinking beer after the races were done. Kevin Cameron (Cycle World writer) who used to race in our club up in New Hampshire said, "The secret to long life is to be so fully immersed in so many projects that there is no way in hell your brain can shut off when you go to bed at night. That's why it's important to have a cellar and/or garage to fill with projects. Instead of falling into a deep sleep you'll never return from, you're thinking about that next wrench you have to turn."

My Grandfather had a similar saying though shorter
"When your "to do list" is DONE, YOU'Re done" .................

so I always try to have a LOOOOOOOONG to do list -

 

[ChasFred]

Ah, yes they are.

I doubt the Bassman ever had a JBL 15' like that one though.

I'm having that same itch to stuff a 15 into something.
Just because I need one.

Maybe it is a good thing I don't live closer to you you and Adrian Down In The Swamp.
The 3 of us constantly feeding each others gas may be more the the economy could bear.
