I think they are way way better. We've really come a long way since our last recording sesh. It's a bummer that we haven't been able to finalize songs cuz most of the time we don't have a singer or drummer. We have awesome structures and ideas laid out, but to really finalize anything, we need to hear it with the full band.

That sucks man, are the new tunes a big departure from the last batch?

Yea, I'm pretty excited. They should be done any day now.

The recordings are going ok. Pretty much just the strings are done. We seem to have some scheduling issues recently.

That's awesome dude, You got two handbuilt fiddles and a sweet amp. How's the recordings coming along with the band?

Yea, it's definitely a killer deal.

And yea, with my tax return + the sales, I pretty much broke even. \o/ Even with the filmosound.

I just figure if I'm trying to get Mike Cambell-esque tone, mines well just get the real thing and save a G in cash From selling most of your gear did you break pretty even on your gas splurge lol?

They do look to be nicely made. I'd be pretty interested in trying one out. Especially the fawn tolex covered one.

That's what I meant lol, central Asian countries. It has a Post phase inverter Master and also has a switch to take it down to 15 watts. I haven't played one yet but it will be easier to find one to test that a 65. I did get to see a nice picture of the chassis and it's no doubt hand-wired and done very neatly as well. I The guys over at the Vintage Amp forum seem to think their the best Vox's in decades.

Well, Ceriatones are made in Malaysia, so not technically Vietnam lol

Have you gotten to try one out yet? AC30's are loud as hell. Might want to think about a nice attenuator too.

And no, no Filmosound yet, hopefully this week. I asked for a tracking number yesterday, but haven't gotten anything back yet.

I did pretty much the same as you, including the hangover lol. I watched the game, it was alright. You get the film-o-sound yet? Btw that Vox Hand-wired ac30 is really growing on me. All the soundclips I've heard of it sound great. I'm not to worried about it being hand-wired in Vietnamn, after all so are all the Ceriatones and we know they're of great quality. $1,600 for a Hand-Wired AC30 or $3,000 for a 65 amps that is a copy of an AC30 but built in America. I have a choice to make?
