Nah, my tank isnt dead. It just sounds like sh!t. I'm down to my one
vintage '65. It lost it's boooch about a year ago, and I took it in to have
it serviced. They replaced the spring tray and it's never sounded the same
since. It's not that nasty wetness it used to be, now it's this tight,
springy..shitty sounding drip. I liken it to stretching a rubber band
between two fingers and plucking it.
Theres no way in hell I'm recording a new album with THIS tank sounding
like it does. I figure I'll just get a reissue, do the cap and tube mod to
it and be done with it.
That is unless Dick Messick will sell me his hand-built reverb
tank...Dick...do you hear me Dick!?!?
It's my fundamental belief that Fender outboard reverb tanks are the
biggest piece of shit ever manufactured and distributed, and for Fender to
charge what they do...embarrassing. Theyre even more fragile than a dozen
eggs and about as road worthy as the same.
