To start thing off, I used to have a Peavey Triple X head. I sold it because I just didn't need that much amp anymore. Well, after I joined my band, I was dying to have it back. So, I got another one last week. For anyone who has seen a Tx, you know about the mud flap trucker girls. This is kind of funny and cool at first, but it gets really cheesey and old real quick! So, at work last week I made a new faceplate for it. I cut it out of mirror like aluminum, and put black reflective vinyl behind it. In the picture it's not real shiny from all the finger prints on it, but you can see just how reflective the vinyl is. I swear there's not a light behind it! This was taken in our practice room btw. The POD sitting on top is run through the loop strictly for effects, no amp modeling needed here.

I wasn't drinking the sam adams, that was just one of the MANY bottles my drummer has collected. I was drinking bud light that night. I normally do drink bud light at band practice so I don't get too plastered.

[font=trebuchet ms]Lighter than 2.3% ?!?!?

I agree 100%. I do however like some of the american micro brew's I get every month from my beer of the month club. I think the best are the Czeck(sp?) beer's. I tend to go for the sharp, clean, and crisp beer's rather than the heavey meal in a bottle beer's. But, like I said, I don't drink the "good stuff" at band practice, because I don't want to listen back to the recordings and say, damn I was drunk :eek:

Bud Light is 3.88%, but I prefer Heineken which is 5.41%, or Rolling Rock at ~4.8%.

Don't worry,with the expansion of micro brewery's you can easily come across 17% alcohol beer here in the states!

[font=trebuchet ms]That's more like it! Is the 2.3% rule not in effect in ol' Miss? I haven't been to many of the states, but all of 'em served wimpy 'near-beer'. I thought the whole country was stuck with that stuff ever since the breweries accepted the low alcohol content as a condition of staying in business during Prohibition.[/font]
# 10
some states may vary from those numbers, but those were the only one's I could find. I probably live in one of the wimpy states though. :mad:

WWSD? What would stevie do?
# 15
that would be cool, but I doubt it will ever happen.
BTW, what do ya'll think would be a reasonable price to charge for something like that?

The one I'm selling doesn't have any Peavey logo on it. I defanately thought about that. I thought $50 would be a reasonable price including shipping. Especially since if I actually had to make it an order up here at work it would cost 3 times that much. 1st off, they charge customers $75 per hour for doing drawings, 2nd, aluminum isn't very cheap anymore, plus it's polished/shiny aluminum, 3rd, they charge a decent amout to run our router, which is a large 8' x 12' router, 4th, it takes someone (not me) to run the router. So, I think $50 is a fairly reasonable price since it is a custom piece that I designed specifically for the guy, but I may be wrong.

I finally got his faceplate finished, and he finally sent me a pic back.
I think it turned out pretty good, and he's real happy about it. The name of his band is Obsidian Halo, and that thing in the middle is their logo. Here's a link to their site if anyone care's to take a look: Obsidian Halo
