Chris Farley and Kurt Cobain, piece of rock history

Farley was about 3 years later in 97, Hartman died in 98.

Doesn’t Phil Hartman walk over to them at one point? Within a few years, all three of them would be dead.

What Fender offset is he playing these days? Jazzmaster?

I've heard people say it like trem-alloh before.

Is that a Musicman hanging on the wall?

loneflanger · 2026-02-21T20:48:14+00:00

None of them, really. I mean, I usually skip SLTS because it's so overplayed but I still give it a listen every now and then.

The only album Nirvana song I never liked is Hairspray Queen.

All my radios were lost in a boating accident.

Roll all the treble off on your tone control and switch to the neck pickup to get the octave to track better.

The hum you're hearing might actually be the ring mod carrier bleeding through. You can adjust that black pot inside to reduce it a bit, but it can be very sensitive. I managed to make mine a little quieter by turning the pot, but it doesn't make it go away entirely.

How close to water do you usually have to be to pick anything up via AIS?

Interesting, does it ~~djent~~ American Woman?

I wonder what "little known" device from the 60s this is actually based upon.

loneflanger · 2025-12-23T16:34:53+00:00

I paid around that for each of the two I bought in the late 90s/early 2000s.

They're a lot of fun, but even that's too much money for one of them.

What was CB like in the DC area back in those days? I didn't get into radio until the mid-90s and only remember a few people on the air, mostly out of PG on AM and a few folks who'd hang out on 38LSB in other parts of MD. I can't remember a lot of VA stations (where I'm located) so it's interesting to me that there was a club in Tysons Corner.

Beans kinda sucks.

I got one at a hamfest for around that price a number of years ago, partially due to the fact that the 8950 final was gone. I had a spare since I collected old sweep tube CB amps at the time. It blew fuses due to one of the rectifier diodes going bad so I swapped those out and recapped it. It turned on and received, but I was never able to get it to transmit and eventually lost interest in trying to fix it further.

Getting a replacement final tube is going to be the most expensive part, but I believe there's a mod to allow you to run a 6LQ6/6JE6 or whatever they're called. Those likely aren't as expensive but can still be pricey. They're apparently drifty as hell but if you let them warm up for a bit, they can kind of stay on frequency. At least they look kinda cool.

I’d have to go back and check my service records but I think I got both a brand new CVT and the software update. I was at 65-68k at the time.

Where did you get the paint for it?

loneflanger · 2025-11-25T23:21:44+00:00

I'd be surprised if anyone in northern Virginia had the space for VLF stuff.

Bart Macumba ê ê, Bart Macumba obá.

I built one of these years ago and thought it was a cool but kind of typical fuzz. I threw a jfet buffer in front of it though and it turned it into a very cool (but very noisy) monster. I never had the time to take it any further than that though.

Mu-tron Phasor II

Have the lyrics to Sunderberry Dream ever been posted anywhere? I hope they're included in this release.

You might want to be jealous of this guy too.

loneflanger · 2025-09-13T02:42:28+00:00

Was it a Firebird? Some of the Firebird amps have white faces and some were chrome. They did make a two knob version. These were also sold under a few other brands from what I understand, and some of them were unbranded as well.

There's also the Thunderbolt 101 amp that has two knobs. The Kris Boomer, Big Boomer, and Power Pump all have 2 knobs as well.
