What happened to Moose's Toneslut site ?

[chopstuck]

I'm looking for a set of Moose's trannies and his site dissapeared last week, around the time of our big winter storm. Could someone chime in if he has any left for sale .

Just pulled his site up this morning. Try it again.

Nope, still not getting it at work or at home.
I keep getting "Network Error (dns_server_failure)"
Are you getting the site off your browser cache ?

It comes up for me; I clear my cache when my browser closes.

I just tried it too. Works fine on my end.
Good luck,

Comes up for me as well.

OK, problem must be on my end.

I finally got it working at home. Best guess is my work computer/network has a filter for words like "slut".

Heheh, it's a neat name, but I was sure worried about getting my package from him, and what the people at the Montana Shipping outlet would be thinking of me. Luckily, he uses his name instead when mailing.

If I got a package from his company name in the mail in my own town, I could imagine the gossip around town; and I could potentially lose my job. I thought it was funny anyways.

Church gig? Anyway I know how you feel, without thinking I put a tranny set on my Christmas list for my parents and had a lot of explaining to do

Heheheh, that's like using a ZVex Super Hard On pedal at church.



Thank god for gaffers tape.

Heh -- I just noticed this thread. Far too funny.

First, because I've got about four monitors pinging my site regularly to make sure it's still up. I started reading and immediately checked the logs before seeing the real cause! I've been in a panic since a time last year when I was down for a couple of days because my server co-lo, literally, blew up.

As for the name, there's a story behind it. I never meant to be in any sort of business at all. The ToneSlut name was part of a thread many years ago on a different forum that was partly making fun of the fact that about 50 amateur builders like me had "Tone Something" names, and partly based on the fact that every amp I'd built was the BEST amp EVER and could NEVER be topped -- until I'd almost immediately become obsessed with a different tone I heard somewhere and had to chase another amp style down.

Basically, you're a tone slut if you can't be satisfied with just one tone.

I tried to do business amongst friends and referrals locally under "Green Air Guitars" but early on I got hooked up with a local punk and hard-rock guitarist who demanded the ToneSlut name. So, my most famous builds have the ToneSlut logo on them and, alas, that's what people remember.

The irony is not lost on me. I have become what I once mocked.

So, the name's offensive. So am I, I guess, so maybe it works. But when your package arrives it will be in the USPS box, which is even better than the plain brown wrapper of old. That way, nobody thinks you're mail-ordering naughty amplifier porn 15 pounds at a time.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Haha! I personally love the name. But I still do appreciate the USPS box. I don't really enjoy creeping people out.
