UNLIMITED Singularity

Well bike is still at the painters...
Thinking I might rewrap this in Tweed again minus all the amplifier business. Bike is blue, rims are gold anodized, should match up nicely...

I was looking forward to the amp affect. Picturing a Wah wah connected to the actual pedals that kick in when you back pedal. Oh yeah. Well, maybe next build?

The amp's been done and there's way better battery amplifiers available that the old micro Fender I used. A lot of the reason I tore the old build down was that I wasn't using the bike at all. It did win a "Best Rat" trophy at a Classic Cruisers in Chicago and a pretty good blues player ripped on it for a bit (should've vid it) but when a build is just taking up valuable garage space it gets dismantled or rebuilt sometimes repeatedly...

That old amp build was such a cool concept. I remember the pics of you with it from the club show. So appropriate for you!
Glad to see you are able to recycle the tank though.

It's blue . There's a hint of a shimmer in the spectrum of visible light. I didn't expect it really to show at all but there it was floating in the hole burned thru the grid. The whole thing should've just shut down or cascaded into a feedback loop so nasty that the gravity shed would've collapsed in on itself. I'm not sure if it still might do that anyway or not. It's an enigma we haven't seen it like this before. But I think it's a manifestation of the musicality of the lightwave generated. What else could it be? It's just floating there. Is there a pulse? Is it a shimmer or twinkle of starlight? When the song was over and the drivers had dumped the last of the upcycled oscillations into the grid, I could see a tear begin in the center of it. Just like ripping the speake rcone to shreds in the old days, I thought... What if I slam it again with a progression of notes ramping up two octaves higher than what Ihad just played? It's already just there like some kind of infinity tone on the edge of visible light. But how is it blue? That's not onthe edge of the visible spectrum. I put the old Stratocaster down. I wanted to make some adjustments on the board before I slammed anything...
