Here's me (on the left) and Dino (Dean M) at the Anaheim NAMM show this past Sunday.

As you can see, we're going for a really big sound.

Too bad they wouldn't let us bring our Alembics in there and jam away!!

Sorry I missed you. I got there Wednesday night and left Sunday morning. Hope you got to speak with Trip at Glockenklang.

Watch out ...this is the non-motorized model and only for use with helicopters. Standard it comes on wheels with a Dodge Ram cabin and V12 engine.
Talkin' about growl hehehehehe...

does that thing really work or is it just for show?

It was great to meet you to Dino!! Hope to see you again sometime. If we come through St. Louis with the band I'll let you know.

Yes that amp really works, as did an equally giant Crate amp about 30 feet away from here. We decided, wisely, against any jamming.

And yes, Dino and I got along so well because we are both vertically challenged as you can see! No wonder I think my Spyder is so big!

Egads, a 15-foot Crate?! Never been so happy to be on the Left Coast(LOL).

Hey Guys,

Yeah so much for portability huh!!!!! Honey, we're gonna need a bigger truck.
Brother Paul, I told you we were building a bigger house... well there you have it.
Hey Danno I did get to speak to Trip briefly. Great guy and player.
Here are some specs on the SVT too.
It is (2) 300 watt all tube SVTs bridged together with one preamp. So you have a 600 all tube head into a 36x10 cab. Everything is functional on this and it's the second one in existence. The first one is at the Guitar Center in Hollywood.
How does it sound? No one knows for sure because you have to be about 100 yards away to hear the full sound wave. They said the entire rig weighs in at about 2500lbs.
Hey Mike, I'm still in up in Boston, but never-the-less, please buzz me if you get up here.
Peace,
Dino

2500 lbs ?
It comes with the tilt back casters right ?

dgcarbu · « **Reply #13 on:** February 01, 2005, 07:06:58 AM »

Where was this rig back in the 1980's?!

36 Tens ? Whoa !! something that big could have had some 18s and 15s mixed in, it looks like something Neil Young had on the Rust Never Sleeps tour, but I think they were only props.
