At least four years, and then I can start Czerney. 

I'm sorry... who?

Czerney?

Czerney?!?

CZERNEY?!?!?


I presume you meant Czerny??? 4 days you don't bother to post, then you lump this absolute awful spelling mistake upon us.

Eh.  He's like Hungarian or something. 

Trust me:  it's fine.

He's used to it.

I wouldn't worry about it.

No... it's not fine. If I accidentally said 'Bethoven', 'Shopin' or 'Lizst'... I'd be seen as an absolute ignoramus and shunned by the piano society.

Hmmm....stuff to think about!  I wonder.

But I rule, because I've put together what may be the smallest, best sounding, loudest (given the size) 200W micro-amp head and the Finnish TOOB Metro 6.5BG, which should be more than adequate for both a portable piano/Hammond organ rig as well as an archtop hollow-bodied guitar.

Of course the SICA speaker in the TOOB Metro is "only" rated to 130W (at 8 ohms), so just have to avoid turning up the amp too much.

Liquid metal is an advanced alloy that will not rust, and will not rest until it finds and kills John Connor.

Let me make an example of you... you only started getting into this thread in 2019, so you missed more than half of the original fun.

I also want to take this moment to celebrate J_Tours very first post in this thread...

This is my last and perhaps only post and it wins.

It consists of  string of vile profanity which spares no subgroup, and is gender-and-sex-neutral, and offends everyone with a shred of decency.

I'm not going to repeat it, because you're all not worthy of this super-Popeye's-Pappy, but I assure you, no one will be spared. 

There is not any post more possibly vile than what I have just constructed. 

Because there may be ladies present, I shall refrain from saying such things.

Oh, just don't tell this girl I'm trying to get a second date from.

Or else.....the cycle repeats.

Clearly you are out of your depth.

You should also buy a new amplifier so that you can be heard more clearly.  You have a tendency to mumble.

I'm all about my new TC Electronic BAM200, but the Trace Elliot ELF has a similar form factor and output (200W into 4 Ohms, and about 100 or just above into an 8 Ohms speaker.

Are you maligning my housekeeping abilities? 

No, I didn't think so.  Anyway, that's just that one corner where I keep the Hammond manuals and pedalboard.

The BAM200 + TOOB Metro 6.5BG sounds glorious for guitar as well.

The idea is the speaker cabinet is designed to fill a small club, with live drums, using a clever design featuring a 6.5" speaker, plus a micro amp to feed 130W into the relatively full range speaker.  Not terrific for digital piano, but good for organ and guitarists who aren't shredders, but still need volume.

Whole speaker+micro-amp combo fits in a 10"x9" case designed for a tom drum, weighs well under ten pounds, all included.  Loud as frak, but also suitable for lower volumes at home.

Oh eat me.  I'm not touching any of that molting plumage!

Besides, you *should* care about amplification!  What are you, Glenn Gould or Angela Hewitt having your personal piano accompany you to each venue?

You're a very inventive musician, well...pianist, at least, but I don't think you have roadies to carry your acoustic and a private tech to tune, &c.  You're certainly good enough, but I don't think that's your bag.

Just now I found a mouse in my kitchen sink.

I turned the garbage disposal on and pushed it into it with a handy utensil.

And I like mice.  What do you think I'd do to those who attempt to poison and destroy me in this thread?

(It's a joke:  I despise mice in my place, and that was the most humane solution, rather than waiting for it to consume more poison or to die slowly caught about the midriff in a snap-trap [N.B., mice do not always get snapped cleanly about the neck with an old-fashioned snap-trap, and it is a gruesome demise, I imagine]).

The short of it is, I will not be defeated.  Not in this thread, anyway.

Now, before anyone thinks I'm some sort of psycho - I care about mammals, and wouldn't subject them to that horrible fate... but rodents and insect???

Meh... couldn't care. I think this is what makes you weak J_Tour... crying about the feelings of mice.

Mice aren't animals... they're rodents - pests even. I draw the line very clearly.

Actually come to think about it - cats are pests here in Australia as well. It's funny - there are times where it's perfectly fine to shoot cats if they're killing the wildlife, but if they're screeching at 2am and fighting in your backyard... you're not allowed to do a damn thing.

I'm sure the world could do with a few less cats.
