Born2RockU Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 Audible Nectar : Dflip: Thank you. I had spoke w/ the seller BEFORE the auction ended. I even offered him $1500,...which he declined ! His mistake ! I will now step back and let the seller do his thing. Thank you for the reassurance. I paid him $120 for double-boxed packaging and shipping from Loiuisiana to Texas !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 If you live in Texas, and he lives in Louisiana, consider making a drive to pick them up. I know it's a hassle, but I'll bet your handling is better than FedEx/UPS/USPS. Hell, I drive 11 hours to my Mac tech when I need to see him - no more subjecting my vintage Macs to shipping! Just a thought, if the seller will let you do this...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also used bubble wrap and peanuts. It took me three attempts to get the packing right and keep the shipping costs within reason. Be patient, a good packing job is more important than a rush job, even though you want the amps yesterday. ---------------- I completely agree! Patience is a virtue and virtues are awkward. Be glad he will send them eventually! Trust me, I know, cause I received this mapletree in pristine condition. Thanks again, Don. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Mandaville Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Craig: Let the seller pack them up well for you. Those amps are classic, perfectly functioning 'antques' that deserve some real TLC if they are going to make a trip to Texas in the hands of UPS, FedEx, or whomever it is that will do the handling. The guy who packed the Baldwin for you went to great lengths to make sure the amp arrived in good shape -- building a wooden crate, with the amp screwed down and padded in place. You've got another amplifier -- that home-made one -- to look forward to in the meantime, and the MC-30s are sure to follow pretty closely behind those.

Born2RockU Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 customsteve01 : I haven't gotten home to open the boxes. If the "little fishermen" come with it, I will keep them together w/ the MC-30's for nostalgia. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am so glad you are enjoying the Big Left Turn "Dreamship" cd. Which is your favorite song ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customsteve01 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Still like Track 5, I am really really bad at remembering song names. Your solo on that track rules. Keep us posted on the new Cd release. Looking fowrard to hearing more stuff of yours. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2RockU Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 Track # 5 " New Boy Sound " ...opens w/ a 16-Bar open drum solo. This was a song was fun to write. It was written starting off w/ the influence of Trapeze, the band w/ Glenn Hughes . (one of my favorite rock vocalists) I am definitley up to something, recording and tour wise and may have some interest from an Italian record label for my next release. I will keep everyone posted on that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customsteve01 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 WOW..... Trapeze, I saw them in concert in 78, 79?? they opened for Nazerath. Crockus (sp?) was there also. really 78, 79 that sounds so long ago. Hey, is there a little Queensryche sound in BLT also??? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2RockU Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 ......spelled KROKUS !!! That is funny you mention Queensryche. I am in a full-blown touring Queensryche Tribute Band, called MINDCRIME ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Damn, JT, wish you hadn't posted that MAC250 photo. I used to have one and sold it. Didn't know how good I had it. It was only rated at like 60 watts per side, so I probably gave it away cheap as well. I was young and stupid. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2RockU Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 No shows are booked this month of March. I head to San Diego, then Cozumel, then Hawaii soon, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customsteve01 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 That awesome I'm just advanced with Nitrox. Got my nitrox cert out in Truk lagoon 2 years ago on a livaboard.
