new head shell thanks to GTS!

[markwayne]

I've been wanting to (well . . . mostly my back has been demanding that I) convert my Mark IV combo to a head for some time. I actually like the sound of the open-back, wide-body combo, but I just couldn't keep lifting it in and out of trunks much longer. So I asked GTS to build me a black/wicker head shell. I can't get over how much more luggable my amp is now. Here she is in her new home. It also looks like I have a wide body combo shell to sell.

speaking of gts, where did he go? gts, you still with us? i tried to PM you back, to no avail.

looks great! Question...how is it different lugging around a combo amp than it is lugging around a head and cabinet?

each unit will be about half the weight of the original long chassis combo. lifting 35 or 40 lbs. twice is much easier than lifting 70 or 80 lbs in one shot. two people can very easily carry one piece each. I had a mk IVa short combo, and it weighed a ton. I don't think I will ever buy a combo again. but then again I'm disabled, lol.
and then there is the cool factor...

aaww, If george deleted his account because of that, that sucks... just at the time I was going to buy a headshell

 

[cremona]

Yeah saw that , too bad because GTS had some insightfull things to say, but both him and neptical acted like 3 year olds when there littel war broke out.

 

[SonicProvocateur]

Yeah, I saw Nep lurking over in the Modern forum like me 8) , but I didnt know gts had left us... hmmm

The difference is that one of those 3-year olds knew what they were talking about.

Uh-oh, now maybe I might get cyber-stalked/internet-threatened, like George. Here in Alabama, we have a way of "dealing" with those type of people. 8) It's all good. :wink:

 

[cremona]

I absoluly agree with you, and i know it was never gts that started it, i just thing some things should have been a bit more privat, this is a puplic forum with many eyes watching.

 

[djsquared]

If that's the reason gts left, that would a shame.

hey JOEY, how do you know? hehe

gts may have asked moderators to delete his account.

haha JOEY, are you talking about lead poisoning, and not the kind from eating lead paint? hehe

maybe gts will be back under a new name
