Well Dave, I haven't used it on a gig yet. One of these days maybe. Even with the usage it's seen, the dude took good care of it and it's in collector condition. He said he'd leave one cab at practice and use the other one for gigs. I do use all of my stuff from time to time though. Unfortunately, at nearly 58, the pains of lifting heavy stuff by myself are often significant. I did unload the rig out of my Suburban when I got it home. (Couldn't ask Donna - see didn't know that I got it.) I've since rolled the cabs to my band trailer for temporary storage. With anything else, I'd be asking for help from 1 or 2 other folks.

I love the Whittier story! Wimpy horn players. You should have threatened them with turning it to 5 and aim it directly at them!
