Scott the F is implicit Baxter<p>Arrgh.<br>I went around the guy's shop, he was there and got the amp, plugged it in and let me try it. "Vibrato" wasn't working for me, but the reverb was sweet and drippy.<br>Then he said he didn't want to sell it. He'd even taken down the ad.<br>(I so want this to not be about me, and my crap playing and self-deprecating demeanor.)<br>He said he'll think about it and let me know if he will sell it.<br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/patience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>patience</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/gearSquad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gearSquad</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Fender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fender</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/guitar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guitar</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/amplifiers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amplifiers</span></a></p>
