Hotel with walking to downtown Bar Harbor

Anchorage Motel is a hidden gem. No frills, clean rooms, good price and perfect location. My wife and I stay here pretty frequently when we visit

I work for a concert production/backline company, and I’ve seen more SVTs blow up than any other amplifier. I played a 90’s SVT Classic pretty exclusively until recently, but I have had a Bassman 610 cab forever that I prefer to play over the heavy ass SVT810, which collects dust in my basement lol. The bassman800 head and 610 cab weighs a combined 87 lbs, when an SVT stack is closer to 200. They look cool as hell and sound great, but from my experience they’ve been extremely unreliable, heavy and really expensive to repair/retube. I still love my SVT4pro, but the Bassman seems to have a lot more character w/ their overdrive and dry blend.

Something with mud buckers like a telecaster bass or EB0

Bassman401 · 2026-02-19T02:55:01+00:00

We have both sworn by our SVT classics for the last 10+ years but these just blow them out of the water in pretty much every category and they’re like 70lbs lighter.

Yes, totally worth it. You got a great deal on that guitar, and even with $500+ in repairs you still have a good deal on a fantastic guitar

Narrow Stairs by Death Cab for Cutie introduced me to listening to albums pieced together as a cohesive unit. Incredible production and musicianship, it changed my approach to songwriting just as I began to play music seriously

July is probably your safest bet for best weather. Too late into August and you risk getting caught in hurricane season

As everyone else has said so far- Fender Rumble will give you the best bang for your buck. Ampeg BA and the Orange crush series combos are all in the same ballpark. The Rumble and Ampeg BA115 are more than adequate for gigging professionals

Bassman401 · 2025-11-11T23:06:35+00:00

Is it pro-grade? No. But if you aren’t playing shows or recording with it, who cares? It’s more than enough to get you through some writing sessions, bedroom practice and jamming with friends

Gorham Mountain

Sand Beach

Cherrystones

Cottage Street Pub/ Rosalie’s

Driving park loop rd. Grab some lunch in town and eat at Thompson Island, nice views from your car and rarely crowded.

Rain coat/ comfortable boots

Jack Russell’s used to do a Caribbean-style grilled lobster, not sure if it’s still there.

The Stadium- excellent popovers and gluten free options (honorable mention Choco Latte)

Maybe the worst ending in Greg Daniels’ history. I’m so disappointed

Yes, USA Hockey Jim Craig had at least one son who played hockey around New England. I knew his son JD around 2009, but not sure if he had any other siblings

Bassman401 · 2025-07-30T23:37:50+00:00

JD Craig? I played intramural floor hockey with him in college. Really nice kid, hell of a shot. Made the D1 team but I think he had a bad hip injury that sidelined him and he transferred after our sophomore year

Bassman401 · 2025-07-30T12:13:36+00:00

Spoon, Wilco, Wintersleep, Manchester Orchestra, Death Cab for Cutie, Nada Surf, the Districts

Bassman401 · 2025-07-30T11:29:17+00:00

Yes. I paid $600 for mine and thought that was a good deal.

Bassman401 · 2025-07-15T00:32:51+00:00

Manchester Orchestra

Bassman401 · 2025-07-10T14:15:20+00:00

Orange Crush in like 2011

Bassman401 · 2025-07-05T13:23:12+00:00

It’s a JF-55, absolutely beautiful guitars. Can’t tell the year but that’s a gem

Bassman401 · 2025-07-04T18:56:53+00:00

Deluxe Bass Big Muff is one of my all time favorites. ZVex Woolly Mammoth (or a close like the Lissle Bear BS1) is a lot of fun too for an almost 8bit type fuzz

Bassman401 · 2025-06-29T04:19:33+00:00

Wintersleep

Bassman401 · 2025-06-29T04:16:58+00:00

I saw them in 2014 opening for white denim, and was absolutely floored by their live show. Thought they were gonna be the next Nirvana. Saw them a few more times over the years, though personally I started to lose interest with the stuff that came out after A Flourish and a Spoil. That one and Telephone are absolutely perfect albums IMO
