new discoveries: past 24 hours:
1. my Marshall 4x12 cab has only 3 working, wired-up speakers. it is, previously unbeknownst to me, a 3x12. strange.
2. Erik's 2x15 bass cab only has 1 working speaker. also strange.
3. the reason Marshall used to put 35-watt Celestion speakers in their cabs instead of 75-watt ones was so that the speakers would be pushed beyond their normal power limit and experience the "breakup" which is apparently very desirable, only it would come at lower volume levels. i don't really care about this because i doubt any guitar speaker we own will be seriously played at anything except super-loud volume ever again.
repairs are in progress. as of next weekend, all of the electronic equipment that is used by the bands Neverending Winter, Kamikaze Noise, the Fighting Polygon Team, Randall, and other bands which share members with those four, will work properly. for the first time since last December.
hopefully.
and yeah, i really have noticed that all our speakers ever experience is super-loud volumes. and in my car, almost all the music i play is at high levels. it's like they wait and wait and wait to be played, and when they are played, we wring every ounce of juice we can get out of them, and then turn them off. it's interesting i guess. but i guess speakers don't really have feelings, so i don't really mind doing it.
