the Better Things to buy

Another highlight in my less than extraordinary time here was the delivery of a Fender Champion 600 tube amp. It was that or a new pair of jeans.

- It has a toggle switch. I like those things very much for some odd reason.Also featured; chickenhead knob, suede-y grill, large red power light.

- It fits the style of my Danelectro (cream white)

- It sound more or less like I had in mind (kinda like my old generic/nameless sixties amp but without the dodgy knackered powerplug and without the fizz)

-”It goes to eleven”+1. So that makes 12

- It does smell like a shoebox.

- It seems to be very recording-friendly. (sm57 in front and small condensor behind the cabinet)

I’ll just patch up my jeans for now.

Dit bericht over “The Simpsons Movie” was oorspronkelijk in het Engels.

Voor alle noobs heb ik het maar overgedubt naar het Nederlands.

Op timmagnus.be staat de lezersbrief van Koen Soontjens aan HUMO, die het Groot Schandaal van het overdubben van The Simpsons Movie aanklaagt. Er wordt terecht een oproep gedaan om de enquête van Tim Magnus even te tekenen om verder verval tegen te gaan.

Moest het toch nog ooit zo ver komen, willen de verantwoordelijken dan rekening houden met de volgende cast-suggesties?

Homer: Jan Decleir natuurlijk
Bart: Ben Crabbé
Krusty the Clown: Boemba
Dr. Nick Riviera: Jef Hoeidinges
Milhouse: Yves Leterme
Mr. Burns: Gert Verhulst
…

Dank u.

An oldie bass

An imaginary slice of chocolate cake for anyone who knows anything about the origins of this (fine?) vintage piece of lutherie.

First clue: It was bought in Holland, late sixties, early seventies, afaik. That’s about all the info I have about it.

Your replies are welcome!

Look ma, I’m on the internets.

Yes, aren’t we all?
