Picture doesn't do justice to how bad it is. Bleaching really 'worked'. I've tried some stain, but just doesn't look good. -

Are you sure that the veneer can't be saved? If the veneer isn't separated from the other layers, an oil or a stain might bring them back to life. -
I think you might make it @Jonah97! Welcome to the Forum and our Vinyl Spinning thread. The red-headed step brothers of the Forum! We know what we got! We're just here for the party!😂 -
Who's had a wife use their LaScala as a plant holder? I'm going to add a thin veneer over the top of my speaker. The top was ruined and had mold. I tried to take it out, but the wood bleached out to much. I expect the veneer, even after adding the finish, to be lighter. Anyone have experience to get the new veneer to match? The speakers are 1980 LaScalas with clear birch, what I understand is a lacquer finish.

I have no idea how what will sound like with the compressed recordings. I have a pair of B&C DE85 that I want to try on a pair of Dave Harris Epitrac horns. What horn are you munting them on? -

Posted this yesterday over in vinyl record spinning. Sad day for sure. Well I was shocked yet not shocked when I heard of Richard Betts death from cancer earlier today. That guy was something else. He played anything handed to him and his fretwork was amazing. Quiet yet always came up with something funny if you knew that grin of his. Ramblin Man? He flat nailed it everytime I ever saw him play it. It was just the way he rolled like the rest of the guys. Southern rock? The Allman Brothers were the words that rolled off so many tongues. It's just another sad day. Ugh Forrest Richard Betts (December 12, 1943 – April 18, 2024) was an American guitarist, singer, songwriter and composer best known as a founding member of the Allman Brothers Band. Early in his career, he collaborated with Duane Allman,[1] introducing melodic twin guitar harmony and counterpoint which "rewrote the rules for how two rock guitarists can work together, completely scrapping the traditional rhythm/lead roles to stand toe to toe".[2] Following Allman's death in 1971, Betts assumed sole lead guitar duties during the peak of the group's commercial success in the mid-1970s. Betts was the writer and singer on the Allmans' hit single "Ramblin' Man". He also gained renown for composing instrumentals, with one appearing on most of the group's albums, including "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and "Jessica" (which was later used as the theme to Top Gear). The band went through a hiatus in the late 1970s, during which time Betts, like many of the other band members, pursued a solo career and side projects under such names as Great Southern and The Dickey Betts Band. The Allman Brothers reformed in 1979, with Dan Toler taking the second guitar role alongside Betts. In 1982, they broke up a second time, during which time Betts formed the group Betts, Hall, Leavell and Trucks, which lasted until 1984. A third reformation occurred in 1989, with Warren Haynes now joining Betts on guitar. After Betts was ousted from the band in 2000 over a conflict regarding his continued drug and alcohol use; he never played with them again nor appeared with other former band members for reunions or side projects. With the death of Betts in April 2024, Jaimoe is the last living founder of the Allman Brothers Band. He was inducted with the band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995[3] and also won a best rock performance Grammy Award with the band for "Jessica" in 1996.[4] Betts was ranked No. 58 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time list in 2003, and No. 61 on the list published in 2011. His first solo lp from 1974 went down and cranked big time this afternoon. Ya think he couldn't do it all? Riiiiight, not a big hit but one of my favs. Here ya go @JohnJ. Put your feet up. God's speed brother! RIP!
