I saw that and was thinking should I?

Nice score Chris. Which one are you going to flip?
The C64, or the V63?

You can never have too many V63s, or 4005s for that matter!

I played my V63 (ex-Pappas) out last night at CPRFF2 www.cprff2.com. That had to be the LOUDEST gig we ever did! Why do sound dudes feel they have to overload the room?

Hey Jeff; I agree about how some guys like to mix way to loud, I'm a sound dude, and one of the shows i get to mix on occiasion, is a 4 pc. rock and roll band 3-4 jingle singers, and 30-40 pcs, of an orchestra, last show in Oct. was an entire Beatles program, the drummer is in the London Ont. symphony, and conducts Roger Hodgsons shows when he comes thru., but I mix that show around 95 db, and sort of peak around 100db, and this is with around 70 open mics thru the system, and I never get any squeeling, mind you on the other hand, if I get an A.C.D.C. clone band, I sort of try to mix stuff in around the loud stuff off the stage, and try to keep it to a manageable level, which is hard to do, and sort of ties my hands somewhat, anyhow, I know how you feel.

I think the levels had to be over 115-120 dB! Maybe more. The bass was definitely overloading the room and everything was distorting. My girlfriend said the sound of my V63 sounded like an overdriven kickdrum. We had to leave early as we were getting headaches.

It sounds like you are getting too old to me!!!

Cotton balls in the ears!!!

Getting too old? Maybe- by Jeff's account, he bought his first Rickenbacker, the 4005WB 2 years before I was born!!

Sorry to date you guys!

I drop by Midtown music pretty regularly and Dave and Page are great guys to deal with. If I'd seen that before they put it on ebay it'd be mine. I traded my old 70's svt head for a FG 1987 4003s8 there a few years ago.

Chris Poteat, drop by Maddy's on Scott blvd on a monday between 7 and 10 sometime and introduce yourself....I'd like to meet some other forum members here in Atlanta. I'm the bass player (duh!) in Code Blue. Although, I usually play my Reverend I'll bring my 4001 or 4005 if your gonna come by.

You guys were slow. I was watching that for a couple hours. If I hadn't just gotten Brian's CS, that thing would've been mine.

....actually, I'd rather have Mapleglo, but I'd live...

I had my earplugs in! Still way too loud; I have enough hearing loss problems that I do not need to make it worse than it is already.

Hey David, I'll certainly try & swing by sometime. I'm in Single Malt Solution...we played Smith's Olde Bar last Monday. I like Midtown Music, but I'm an Atlanta Discount Music man!

Hope to see you soon. I'll bring a 3001 - nowhere near as cool as a 4005, but still a little left of center in Rickland!
