I've an Accomplish Jr I purchased from David coming on 20 years now. It's my fav go to amp. Same amp as the Accomplish without the depth and dwell reverb adjustments. They run either 6V6 (22W) or 6L6 (35W) tubes. I use 6V6 which provide plenty of headroom for me and is very similar to a deluxe reverb. The rear bias jacks are convenient and the 'raw' pot (mids gain) make it versatile. I've an eminence red/white/blue speaker and it's been a great lil combo amp. These amps come in kit form as well as fully assembled (David until '22 when he retired and sold the company to new owners). The best amp decision I've ever made. Ah, San Diego - it's been a couple years. Miss OB - Sundays at Aquarius on the Jetty, Monday's at Winstons, clam chowder and a pint on the south beach balcony, quick burger at hodads... sigh.

Way to start the new year with a full course post, John. Thorough, lot of effort to include all that detail - thanks. Sounds like you've a couple of wonderful guitars there. The local shop had a few cores last year and I was impressed with the fit/finish of them. From your pics, I really like the looks of your core. A beautiful finish/grain on that body.

I have such a guitar as you describe, Sir Jon, and likely brought it to a PSP.

Good times indeed. T-shirts for PSP1 same logo as banner so maybe JimW had something to do w/them as well. And the HOC guitar, that I still play, is a sunburst 555. Think Kenny won the white 555 the next year. I really liked that Caddy (from PSPIII, I missed II) - floated on the freeway and made the Minnie to Michi trip many many times.

Nice - sounds like it's coming together.

Ha! Gotta watch those full wallets. Glad you had a fun gig - sad to see a long standing venue close.

Thanks for the entry, Mark. Always enjoy reading on your band journey.

Ouch. A bit of time put in and like you say close to gigging so that's a set back. Sounds like you're rolling with it well. Best of luck in finding the replacement.

Nice read - enjoyed that. Especially the 'The room I have retreated to...' sentence. And that your prior destination is now your daughters. Circle of rooms it is. And Dooverlackies. Yes. That's gonna be my next band's name. Cool pic, too.

Been nice following your band's progress, Mark. Like these blogs. Be nice to see some vid of your band one of these days, too.

Nice blog, Mark. Enjoy reading of the journey. Do you plan to record? Have been waiting for years for a follow on to Live at Leeds...

Congrats on filling out the lineup. And targeting some twin lead WA tunes - look forward to hearing those! Good luck on the next step and upcoming gig.

Nice to read you're putting the band back together, Mark. Best of luck. Hope it all works out well. Looking forward to this space to read of the journey. btw, saw Status Quo in late '74 (think it was) here in the states on a bill with Blue Oyster Cult. Fun show!

Nice, Doug! Really like the groove, playing, and singing on Devil Ray. Making my way thru the rest as I type this. Just saw this on blogs today - don't usually look over on this side of the monitor, at this section. Awesome sound from your band - looks like a fun gig.

Nice blog, Josh. Looking forward to hearing about your progress. Really hoping you find a group of like minded musicians.
