Thanks, Beamer ... and I'm right with you on the Bugera's, for a nice chunky sound. They really do rival Peavey in every way.

Where they don't shine as brightly (to my ears, anyway) is in the clean dept. I tried a Bugera V22 Infinium and liked it a LOT, but it wasn't quite as responsive as the H&K, especially when I played my Gretsch hollow-body through it. And the H&K head is exactly the same price locally as the V22 combo, and I already have a compatible 2x12 cab I built for the Peavey a couple years ago.

Ahhhhh ok

I only have the V 5 as a combo and a Berhinger 60W 1x12.  when I play "clean" im usually always "wet" with a compressor sustainer  and usually chorus reverb and delay.   sometimes phase.

Im thinking if you tried the head units not the combo, it might sound better.  Plus if your want more chime .... tube change.  I don't know who Bugera has making their tubes, but the Tungsol and VJ tubes in the power section make a heck of a difference. + in the pre-amp section the Mesa does make a big diff.  and the V stands for vintage,   Maybe you want to try a modern like the 333 or 6565 as the cleans on my Tri-Rec are very nice. ill make you a sample with a dry clean signal on my Tri-Rec.  are you using a Strat / single coil or a humbucker?

check out the vids on the T50  https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_cont … 0azAARDJxw 
and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB4ZkbC-oCs

the second one is more indepth as its a owner review.     @ 4:00 in he goes to the clean channel

It may not be a H&K  but find a store with a Bugera  selection.  The V55 is very nice, my V5 is really great, and my Tri-Rec,  Well you all know how I love that!  Take a stroll around here:

Honestly for the price, you just cant really go wrong.  Ya want HEAVY go tri rec or 6262 (peavy 5150 clone) or 333.  Lunch box? They have them.  I have stood behind this brand for a long time and it has not let me down.

Or save and save for the H&K  big_smile

SWIPE

SCOTT SAILER
27 JUNE 2019

If loving you is wrong I don’t want to be right,
Hold me in your arms and kiss me tonight.
Take away the sins from the past,
Truth and Respect
All this will last.

We met on a chance,
Swiping on a whim,
I caught your eye,
And you were the one who let it begin

We are pretty different
Yet a lot feels the same.
Your manner so easy,
Your smile so true.

For the days before we met,
I kept thinking of you.

Today is the next day,
What the future holds
We do not know.
I wait with hope, to see what unfolds.

That's awesome. 
I wrote a poem to my High School "Competency"  math teacher called 4 Wheel Wonder.  He was paralyzed form mid chest down.  We stayed very close after HS and he was a great friend.  He liked it so much that he had someone write it in calligraphy with India ink and framed it.

I think your friend will love this also. The chorus is so true and accurate for anyone.  That smile and word of support does make you want to learn, and can brighten a dark day.

Good idea to record it, Beamer, and a very neat riff. I need to start doing that. A riff or chord progression will often develop while noodling around, and unless I keep at it for several days, it evaporates into the ether.

yep i always have my phone or tablet around.  I have actually started filming my left hand too!  I'll be like What did I do and how did I do it???

Got to say it's very interesting. As I was listening I could imagine the bass and drums giving it what for. Are you planning a vocal? As it seems more or less finished just needing bass, drums and a wild man giving it large and of course a screaming guitar solo. Let us know how you get on.

Actually no, I have a intro idea im working on that my also become a bridge / interlude?  I am going to get it put together better and ask Jerome to add the bass and Drums (maybe my son will  feel the groove idk)

Then hopefully Paul and I can set some lyrics down.

The Circle
By Scott Sailer       6/5/2019 1:46 PM

Jim Morrison once stated,
“A feast of friends "Alive!" she cried. Waitin' for me. Outside”
And to them, them that are invited to the feast,
Friends that are family, some tighter than true blood
True blood to thee I bequeath.

We keep our circle tight.
Don’t touch them or you’ll find a fight.
To some it is hard to let new blood in,
Others know in a minute, and can tell it as it begins.

Families break apart, and harden hearts,
Yet in the time of need, they will be there
To hold your hand when the time comes for you to depart.
And in your dire hours, they will still be the ones who care.

So if you become the one that is
Invited to this feast.
Take the hand of your new Sister, Brother or Lover,
And know this was not lightly given to be a small gesture
In the least.

Hi all.
My activity in here has been mostly limited to the poetry and song section.  I thought I would share this with my Chordie family.

Yesterday was my last anniversary that will have concluded 28 years.
We sat and talked and shared our last year together.  We have had a very rough year as my writings have shown. And this was the closure of it.  And we took it out in a style.
And with that I was able to write a long poem today at lunch.  I hope all will read it in the poetry section.

This is going to be a year of change, and I hope for the better for us both.  One I know if what is going on with me right now will last, and if it does, my next Chordiestock will have a new companion by my side.
As my quote says below, she is MY KIND OF STUPID big_smile
Thank you all who have kept up with me and called out of the blue to check on me.
BEAMER!

HURTS WHEN YOU’RE SOBER   
5/31/2019 11:59 AM

It hurts when you’re sober
It hurts when you’re drunk.
The more you try to find yourself,
I might just become a monk

My eyes turn red from watching the TV.
They water because I’m tired,
But there’s nothing else to see
Who is out there waiting now for me?

Everyone told me a light
Will be at the end of the tunnel.
I would sit and wonder,
How long do I go through the funnel?

It hurts when you’re sober,
It hurts when you’re drunk.
The more you try to find yourself,
The more you feel like a punk

Self-reflection,
Pulls the past apart.
How did I ever let it start?
I must repair my heart.

It hurts when you’re sober
It hurts when you’re drunk.
The more you try to find yourself,
You hope you don’t look like a chump.

A passing thought,
I should look to the app
That I bought.
I discover I have been sought.

It hurts when you’re sober,
It hurts when you’re drunk.
No longer feeling down.
Smiling while driving through town.

I have found the penny and picked it up
So far, it feels like good luck.
I had my rebound, kick that right down.
Drop a dime and split the nickels per kiss.

I think I found the missing ACE
The one who stands at my stage
And smiles up at me
I’ll look down, and she is all I’ll see
It hurts less to be sober
I don’t have to get drunk
She smiles
And likes KISS.

Just a rocker boy
On a rocket ride.
Looking for my song
On a new highway
And riding this new tide.

Creative Minds, what do we do?
Sometimes we're bored.
sometimes we strike a chord
and sometimes we ramble on and On to the break of dawn.

The Sugarhill Gang had it right,
we should all have as much fun
as Rapper's Delight.

In this new Strange World of dating apps,
it's hard to meet face-to-face
and figure out your place.

Technology moves forward,
And so must we.
Let us not forget our joy and the beauty of chivalry.

In this place We Now reveal,
Everyone carries some type of
luggage, a bad memory
and something that still feels real.

So now it's time to dance. 
Smile to the world and take a new chance.
Turn up the Sugar Hill And invite their friends
Kool & the Gang.It's time to
GET DOWN ON IT and CELEBRATE
