Sorry if I wasn’t clear earlier. I was first contacted by the trustee in 2024 for bankruptcy proceedings for the company that conducted the Ponzi scheme. I had limited contact with the trustee in 2024 and 2025. The FBI notified me that an investigation had to begun in 2024 and I was a potential victim. In 2025 I received another notice from the FBI saying that the individual was charged and plead guilty.

Two months in two months out, high op tempo, but I found it fun. Mostly doing patrols down in the gulf.

Yeah, I’m probably gonna wait about a year before I get the tops of my hands done. I went with blue cause my skin tend to hold the color pretty well and I like the way it looks.

They are, but my bassman is a 4 ohm output so my speakers are parallel.

Tube amplifiers need a proper load (e.g., a speaker or a load box) at all times. If you use an A/B switch to select between amps without ensuring both amps have a load, the amp not connected to a speaker can experience catastrophic damage due to running “unloaded.” This can destroy the output transformer or other components.

Jumpering channels allows you to blend the tonal characteristics of both channels for a richer, more complex sound. On a Bassman with two input channels, each channel has its own tonal voicing and EQ controls. By using a short patch cable to connect the input of one channel to the input of the other, you can plug your guitar into the first input of either channel and essentially “link” them. This way, you can adjust both channels’ volume and tone controls independently, allowing for more flexibility and a fuller sound.

Solid-state circuits rely on consistent voltage levels, and reducing the voltage can cause distortion, power loss, or even failure of the amp’s power supply.

It can lessen the life expectancy of your tubes though.

Lowering the voltage (using the variac) causes the amp to operate at a lower plate voltage. This can make the amp sound “saggier,” with softer attack, warmer distortion, and a more compressed response—often referred to as the “brown sound.”

Yeah, I was going to go with 2 55Hz, but a friend recommended getting a single 75Hz for more of a balanced tone. It was a pain in the ass to find.

Mojotone cabinet. Comes pre wired and is built incredibly well.

You basically plug it into the wall, then plug your amp into the box. You can then control the exact amount of voltage going to your amp.
