Fruits Of My Labors
Been working at my new day job for 6 weeks.
My hours have more than tripled and I just got a 25% raise, so it looks like the boss is happy with my performance. May have to quit the bands someday if this trend continues.
Finally had enough cushion in the bank to splurge a little, so I just bought this:
Hated borrowing a different bass amp for every show, and found this Peavey Mark III Bass amp head at Krazy Kat's for the right price.
Made in USA in the early 1980s--the golden age of Peaveys for me, although plenty of their newer stuff is even better.
Their amps are THE toughest and most reliable ever made by anyone anywhere so even though it's 30+ years old, after I open it up for cleaning and inspection it will have my complete confidence.
Sounds just like I expected, too. Works well with my PV speaker cabinet it's sitting on, though I'm going to get another because more = more.
It's been decades since I celebrated a New Amp Day, and it feels great.
In semi-related news, a product photo I made for my company's listings was quickly promoted to become THE master photo for that item all across Amazon.
Lucky or good I don't know, but it's pretty cool.
Should have snuck a small ©kak onto it and added my name and this blog's URL into the jpg's exif data.
Does anyone know how to make paragraph breaks in the new Blogger interface???

Hmm. Carriage returns work just fine for me. Try hitting the Enter key twice, maybe?
And congratulations on your new amp. It has been many, many years since I played on the bass, so I'm kinda jealous of the fun I know you're having.
