Lookie what I bought
Posted: Tue Mar 16, 2010 5:01 am
Thought I'd share my purchases over the past couple days-week or so, some impulse buying, some highly wanted additions...
Squier Affinity J-Bass - in great shape, still has the plastic and sticker on the pickguard. A little better than the earlier affinity's from what I remember. Cleaned the few gook spots off, buffed it up, set the intonation, ready to go.
Acoustic B20 - pretty awesome sounding practice amp (loud 20watts), I'm sure mic'ing it would do nicely for a gig if needed. Going to hook up a jack to run it into my other cabs, to really hear the toanz.
Univox U65RD - another good little combo, circa 1976 (don't remember exact date), with reverb and clipping. Has the tiniest little reverb inside, which is pretty quiet. I'll post a pick of that when I open it back up. The clipping surprisingly sounds quite decent. Only problem is the un-safe power cord, and the power switch doesn't functioning properly. When it gets turned off, the sounds still comes out and eventually fades off. I have an old silvertone that does the same thing
Ehx Small Stone - It would seem that my Smallstone is a mix between the Russian v2 & v3. Meaning, it has the v2 enclosure and circuit, while bearing the v3 screening.
Sounds good as hell...now I need to fix the bypass issues it's having and change the color switch to a pot. Sometimes when I turn the stone off, I lose a lot of volume, and have to turn it back on/then off, to get my volume back. It was fairly dirty/rusty when I got it. Gave it a good cleaning, & sadly had to cut the orig chickenhead off to get everything out..
Ehx Double Muff - This thing is nice, actually has a lot to work with. Can't wait to open it up (again
) to see what else I can do with her.
...& really the only purchase that matters is...a Univox EC-100 Tape Delay, that I bought in "unused for years, yet should work condition"
What's that you say? "That's cool but good luck finding tapes, buddy!" Well let's have a look around back shall we...
That delay works great and sounds wonderful! WONDERFUL! Haha, I'll get some clips up as soon as I can. I wish someone had been filming my reaction when I won the EC-100 + the U65RD, I just jumped up yelling and ran sprints up and down my hallway

the combos! solid state combos are the best amps.
. The one I want the most was the 2x12 I had, in almost mint condition. 
. We'll I had the EC100>DD3>sstone/cs9/tmelt/wah>tele, and some great sounds were made to say the least! At one point I ran the direct from the DD3>TS>U65RD as well, for some stereo fun.
