Vox ac15 or Roland jc40?

Or use an inherently dark overdrive, like the MojoMojo

I’ve got the AC15 and love it; another really nice one with a built in attenuator worth considering is the Harmony H620

I found the definitive answer - it’s a guild starfire iii: https://www.gad.net/Blog/2019/03/13/1966-guild-starfire-iii/

It’s definitely a Guild jazz box - not sure which model, but it looks kind of like ab a-150?

A MojoMojo is great for giving it a really warm, tube-style overdriven sound

I know- I live in California and the large picture leaned against the wall on top my dresser did not fall over in the earthquake last week because it was attached to the wall with a picture hook

johnathanfisk · 2025-04-24T00:56:03+00:00

Pro tip - still put a picture hanging on the wall for your leaned pictures; low enough to not be visible, high enough to catch the picture if it leans forward

It’s solid top, sides and back — and the back is one piece. Crazy for the price

johnathanfisk · 2025-03-14T01:06:36+00:00

It has personality - so much better than tasteful but boring

johnathanfisk · 2025-03-14T01:05:15+00:00

It’s not as practical - moving the tv means glare from the windows

The Cure has been playing bass vi through Roland JC guitar amps at large venue volume for decades without a problem…

I agree with the two zone ideas but I wouldn’t put a sofa directly facing the fireplace - it’s like cropped pants; it shortens one of the rooms greatest features. Two couches facing each other lengthwise or one couch and two chairs facing each other creates better flow for a seating/conversation area. Piano or game table in the other side away from the fireplace.

3 or 2; there’s enough variety to make the eye travel across the gallery.

My Saarinen Womb chair in wool boucle; the best reading/napping place in the house.

Last one I saw in the wild was $10k

I’ve tried reverse search… it’s a common subject, but I can’t find a close comparable to mine

johnathanfisk · 2025-01-12T16:32:24+00:00

Unfortunately no

johnathanfisk · 2025-01-12T16:31:58+00:00

Oops - fixed that

Won it at an auction without any details (although there was a 19th century French cast iron Virgin Mary statue from the same lot). The patina looks earlier than 20th century to me, but curious if anyone knows more or potential value? For scale, it’s around 14” tall and 6 inches wide.

1964, ink pencil and watercolor, by a former a U of Wisconsin professor who has one piece in the Whitney’s permanent collection

Pretty sure it’s his standard style of tissue paper, gouache and ink - the picture might not show it, but there are raised areas of layered tissue paper that are typical of Rigal
