We could live without music.
That's where she's totally off track. Humans can't live without music. The body can survive without music, yes, but the soul starves. Whether we need more music is debatable, especially since 90% of the produced music is worthless crap. But that was always the case. 'Sugar Sugar', anyone?

Now I know why I forgot all about it. I installed it and it doesn't show up. Neither in Logic 9 nor in Logic X. No WatKat, even though the AU Manager shows that it is installed and active. I now remember that I had this problem before and I finally gave up on it. Guess I'll have to look for a real one again.

I saw that before but forgot all about it. Thanks for reminding me. I had an original one in the early 70s, wonder where that went?

The answer is in the very ad you posted. 'Drink a bite to eat at 10, 2 & 4 o'clock'! Transferred to the 1176: attack at 10, release at 2 and ratio at 4. Enjoy.

Funny, in 1971, I was 16 and had no clue what I wanted. I played in bands though and probably dreamed of life as a Beatle, lol...

Now it really looks like the profit-driven junkshop that it is.

There's a film by Jean-Luc Godard, called One Plus One, documenting the recording of Sympathy For The Devil. I think your clips are from that movie. There was a longer version on You Tube a while ago. I remember that you could see how bored Bill Wyman was throughout the proceedings. I think, Keith Richard played bass on the final version, as seen in the second clip here...

Great. Good to hear it works for you. If you find something that fits, grab it and stick with it...

I like Soniccouture but, man, do I need another Grand? My father had one single Steinway Grand all his life and still plays it and that one piano was more than enough for me when I was a kid.

I don't expect my gal to get me gear, my wishes are too expensive. I'm perfectly happy with the nice little things she finds. Good girl.

Don't know how the US handles it, but anything over $40 that I import into Germany is taxed. 4% EU tax and 19% VAT. Those 19% are calculated on the price of the item, the shipping costs and the 4% EU tax, which, in effect means, I have to pay tax on the tax and on the shipping. Ridiculous. Why don't you check with your local customs office to see what the deal is in the US?

20 cables for 80 bucks, cheap Chinese plugs included. Good luck:
It always amazes me that people spend a fortune on pres and microphones, discuss endlessly about modding capsules and Neumann mics and then buy cheap crappy cables. WTF.

I have a 1979 JMP (2203) which sounds great through a 4x12. I also have a 1988 reissue of a 1973 50w JMP (1987S), which is awesome. These are currently my favorites. Love my Silver Jubilee also. It all depends which sound you're looking for, more bluesy/classic rock or more modern rock/metal(ish). It also depends on which speakers you have in the cab. I actually heard good things about the 1987X which should be pretty close to my 1987S. But if you like the JCM800 tone, get one of those. Really, you can't go wrong with a Marshall.

Great video, and a good laugh, thanks John. BTW, you can leave that 670 to Wiz, I'll have two 660s, thank you very much...
Have a great holiday season everyone.

After hearing this, I guess I won't sell my Ludwig anytime soon. TBH, my first kit was made from cardboard boxes, even though I used a less refined production process. Hey, I was 13. But wait for the first 'beatmaker' to turn up in a studio with a bunch of moving boxes, lol.
