You guys might find this interesting or it might be boring.
I have been around the Amp Gasing Gearing up village for many moons and have literally owned a dang bunch of amps. I was a Tube Freak going back to the 70's and have played it all.
When Boogies came along (became really prevalent) I started using them and nothing else for many many moons. Then I ventured out into other territory going down the whole Booteek thang. I do still own one very nice Booteek Amp a good friend builds.
Anyway a while back I bought a 67 Bassman and put it in a new combo cab. I really did like it especially the clean sounds but the longer I played it the more trouble I seemed to have. I couldnt get the Dirty Sounds I needed without killing everyone and it was still too choppy also. I tried different speakers, tubes, yada yada yada, and ended up almost ready to mod it into what I needed. I talked with my tech many times and kept going back and forth about it.
Finally I came to the realisation that when I got done modding the Fender it was pretty much gonna be a Boogie. So I started thinking about Boogies and the more I though about it the more it made since to me to go that route.
The next thing I know I start hanging out over here and whamo I have a Mark III on the way.
Ah Back at home at last. :lol:
Funny thing is I pretty much have come full circle. My origonal Geetfiddle was a Tele and I now play only Teles. My home in ampland (though I had other stuff prior) was Boogies and here I go back to em. I guess Im getting ready for death or something. :lol:
Anyway just thinking out loud here.
I have certainly if not anything have had Boogies on the Brain lately.
