WOW! Restrictions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of that stuff from the good ole days of the '70's is pretty much unlistenable. Even some of the champions. '78 SCV comes to mind.

That sound died with the G bugles. I just want the maximum sound we can have with the instruments we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
