I will endure any amount of packing peanuts to bathe in the sonic glory of the Mother, and I HATE packing peanuts.
My AD200 came in a fairly large box. The retailer didn't see the normal shipping box fit to ship it so he put the shipping box from Orange in an even larger box with packing peanuts.

Two years in a row now my entry way was filled with packing peanuts. Worth it.

I will just cut the top off the shipping box and let my 2 year old use the packing peanuts as a makeshift ball pit.

It's definitely big enough for that!

I just cant even think of a response for that rig. I'm just floored every time i look at it.

main sound is a homemade LM308 rat clone through a tym big bottom if that makes it better.
I need to replace the speakers in the cab but I'm seriously considering re-tolexing it in seafoam green first. And maybe getting a new acoustic logo made in that colour too.
Also my normal bass I'll go back to when my hands are healed up is an aluminium necked epiphone ripper...

Can anyone point me to some demo's or samples of a shiv in use? Very interested in getting one come the new year, but having trouble finding some sounds. I'd be all up in the street sweeper, but honestly it's too much power for my needs and would just go to waste.

Pretty sure this is the Shiv in action:

Alex had sent that link to me prior to me getting my Shiv (coincidentally the same Shiv I got was used on these tracks)

That recording is a Shiv (Normal channel only), Tele, and V30s. I have lots more clips I can send you. Just send me an email if you'd like! Thanks.

Officially ordering a combo shell for my Shiv. Black tolex with fawn just like my headshell but with Ampeg grill cloth.
In the longrun having a combo instead of separate head and cab is gonna be the bees knees and make my life easier
