Lots of news to report

Well I have been having a good time as of late considering that my band is on Hiatus. I took the time to order a bunch of Vintage Germanium Transistors off of Ebay and start playing around with them. I have been having a blast building my own Fuzz Pedals.

I also was lucky enough to stumble onto a kid who wanted to trade his Sunn 610L for my old Fender Cab. The Sunn is the best sounding cab I have ever had bar none. I love this thing. The combo of the Sunn my Peavey VTX head and my Creepy Fingers Fuzz Face are just unbelievable! Pure 60's acid drenched fuzz tone, much like Hendrix and Page.

I also just got me a new Suburban, well new to me that is. As you may know my old Suburban broke an axle this winter and I had to sell it to the junk man. I was pretty bummed. It had a really strong 454 in it that still had plenty of miles left in it. Well after looking all over creation on an especially tight budget I found a 1988 Chevrolet Suburban 4x4; Not before driving all the way to Tacoma to look at a International Travelall that was supposed to be in good enough shape to drive to "Nevada" but in reality had a bad lifter tick and no breaks!

My Suburban is a fixer upper but I love it. I have always wanted a 4x4 especially after the bad winter we had. I hope to do lots of camping with it this summer.
