Been over at my dad's house today, doing a bit of work which involved me climbing up into the loft to fix things. Among the usual decaying junk you'd expect to find in a loft, I stumbled (almost literally) across something I thought had been thrown in a skip years ago - my ancient Sound City 120 head, dusty and in a bad state of disrepair and generally looking like it's been at the bottom of a river for six months.
Wasn't able to bring it down, these things weigh an absolute ton but my mind's already made up and this is going to be my summer project ... it hummed badly when I got it 20 years ago and it's in need of a LOT of work but I'm determined to get stuck into it. If you've never heard one of these things in action, they're frighteningly loud with so much clean headroom it's actually difficult to overdrive the thing without risking permanent hearing loss.
Pic isn't my amp - mine's in far worse condition and I wasn't exactly able to start taking photos up there.
