I can vouch for this. I sent Cheeks an amp to repair and it took him something like four months to get it back to me. He did a good job, but that's a day of work at the most.Quote:

- The parts needed were hard to get. Someone's friend bought up ever small Ampeg cancap on the market and the waiting list was like 6 months. It wasn't safe to send you the amp without a new cancap, but you insisted otherwise.
I can't believe you're in here complaining about this. You got almost half the parts for free and you've never heard the first complaint out of me over what I lost in gas.
It's an example of you being a lazy bitch. I felt it was appropriate. You may recall that I offered to pay your expenses. I also can not believe you don't know someone that owns a car. I haven't driven since early November, and I have no problem getting where I have to go. You're lazy. Get over it.
Re: cancap. I took the amp to my tech and he got one in less than a week, and had the amp to me (with fixes on the things you fucked up) in about 4 hours.
Anyway...
Goodbye.Quote:

You live in Baltimore. It isn't comparable.Quote:

I would hope so since he was the guy you said had bought all the cancaps for a side amp project.Quote:

did he tell you what I fucked up? I'd love to see that list.
If it's all about money and you can't ever do shit because you don't have money how about you SHUT THE FUCK UP on here and use all the stupidass time you waste trying to prove some stupidass bullshit (whatever it may be that day/hour/minute) to stupidass motherfuckers that will NEVER EVER give you any slack or see anything your way and go make some fucking money so you can accomplish JUST ONE of your purported 'goals'. If you really can't see how you waste your time and you really can't see how time is money then you need to hang it up because you're too damn dumb to be an engineer. Get over your pussyass self and GET TO FUCKING WORK. Do not reply to this publicly. Do NOT fucking PM me about this. Just do your shit. Get to work. Shut up. Come back when you have something to show.
This is what Josh paid
Shipping 18.37
Tube cage with rubber gasket 65.00
Power caps (minus can cap), can cap mount, 3 new light bulbs 33.92
Volume box 12.00
labor 20.00
total 149.29
This is what he got free
$10-$15 in signal caps
$1-$3 resistors
$40 for 2 6L6s
$4-$7 for a new power switch
NOW I remember why I don't come around here anymore. Buttplant, you are one insufferable little turd. God damn.
I was just thinking exactly that.
Those 6L6s are the ones you told me you got for free and didn't want to charge me for. So basically I owe you $23 at the most. If I ever meet you, I'll pound the money up your ass.
Deal?
