Hello Everybody!
Hope everyone is doing well here. A lot of ups and downs here since my last post. I hired a coach/trainer for my running up until March 2012, whom has put together a running schedule for me for the next four months. He's a professional runner and has won numerous marathons across the U.S. Many of my running buddies were surprised and glad that I am now training under a pro. If anyone is interested on who he is, just ask. As for the race season, The Fort Wayne Track Club finished up a couple weeks ago and I found out that I won my age group again (5 out of the last 6 years since I first started). I will have one more race coming up on December 17th, The Huff 50K (an Ultra-Marathon). I did it the last 2 years, but this time, according from my coach, I will not be running the whole thing, due to the training schedule he put together. Instead, I'll be doing the 3-person relay, which I'll be running 1st leg. The FWTC Banquet will be in late January with Shalane Flanagan as the guest speaker. How cool is that!?
Work is coming along well, especially in the restaurant, making the money. It's helping me get the bills paid, and get some Christmas shopping done. However, I had to spend a lot on my car though, because I encountered some problems with it. The car now has a new battery, alternator, front serpentine belt, power steering pulley, new spark plugs, plus the front rotors are turned to. All the parts plus labor costed me quite a bit, but luckily it's all fixed and ready to go.
Family is well, I got to go to Michigan on Thanksgiving to be with my Dad's side of the family. We got to go to Meadowbrook Mansion: Home of John Dodge, which was amazing. It was great to meet up with everyone, and especially playing the game Pepper (AKA Double Euchre); I'm getting a little better at it.
Joe, hope things are going well for you and with Chickenfoot. Hopefully I'll be able to see you in person, or perform again soon.
Too many names to write down so I'll just say to everyone here on T2J - Holla! Hope everyone has a safe Holiday season. Talk with y'all later.
Grant

JemJVM - I had the XXX for a while. No matter what I did I could not get that thing to cut through in a band situation. There are no mid. The 5150/6505 I think are a bit better but I haven't played them. Plus I tend to lean toward the Mesa tone. Always seems a bit fatter to me.

Question: about 4 years ago I played a JS-1000 and to this day it was the easiest guitar I ever played. It was new for $869. I let it set 4 about 10 months and when I decided to buy GONE. I have played at least 20 JS-1000 and 1200 and none come close to the ease of this one guitar. Then I found out from salesman (thanking all models are the same) if you find a guitar you lke you buy that one. I think the neck had bigger frets, I don't know but was wondering was older 1000 different then the newer ones? I learned my lesson, you snooze you loose!! That is why I bought a brand new JSX head for 1/2 price $697 then few weeks ago bought another, same price. I think best sounding amp I have ever heard. Everyone have a nice day and keep on playing.

Have a look on the Red Rockers photo page for a pic of a 1968 JMP 50 half stack in red. I haven't yet determined all the codes for a positive ID, but since I've built amps, I know all the solder joints are intact, trannies are original and everything was there except for the head tolex and logo's. I retolexed the head panels and original logos are impossible to get. This may be a 1935 bass cabinet because it has T1511 25 watt Celestions with 27HA production codes indicating August 27, 1968. I know they were sold as a set in Edmonton, AB, Canada and have stayed together. This amp should go to someone who would get use out of it. Possible trade for your vintage L5? I'm really a big band player and would use the archtop more than the plexi.
I've been a fan of yours since the groundbreaking Surfing with the Alien days.
