Full Blast, but not That Full Blast

I did some recording on my iPad tonight.  Just noodling out some ideas that I started months ago but never got around to doing anything with.  The recordings aren’t good, but I did play through a tube amp at full blast.  It was my little 15 watt Fender Bassbreaker, not my 22 watt Fender Deluxe Reverb.  If I were to make a serious recording, it would be with the Deluxe.  I’ve been trying to get myself to do some realish recording with the Deluxe at full blast, but I haven’t.  Oh well.  The 15 watt Bassbreaker gets pretty loud, but not that loud.  It was sounding pretty good.  I also have a 30 watt Fender Bassbreaker.  It’s at Mike the Bass Player’s house.  That one is louder with the volume knob on 1 then the 15 watt is on 10.  It’s insane.  Anyway, I am tired and mentally fried and just barely able to put two sentences together so I think I’ll hit “Publish” now and put this one to bed.  Huzzah, and all that crap.

Marty Balin

The first Jefferson Airplane lineup (well, the band that recorded the first record at least) had six people. As of today, four of them have passed away. First Skip Spence, then Paul Kantner and Signe Anderson on the same day a couple of years ago, and now today we have list Marty Balin. This sucks. Rest in Peace, Marty Balin.
