DIY: World's most expensive amp (BOM)

[Reeltarded]

If you think guitar sounds good through latex painted over modern cloth you should here it through a master's fresco.

What if the artwork for the grille looked like a big finger from the sky and a lesser finger toiching from the right?

I got an idea..

Or, if you play in a thrash or punk band, your speaker-grill-cloth MUST be Guernica by Pablo Picasso. If you're in a King Crimson tribute band, you MUST have something by Salvador Dalí fronting your cabinet.

Now we are taking this into full production. A line of amps.

The Presidential Series could start with a model called "The George" and you know the cabinets are made from special cherry. The knob pointers.. from the disassembled dentures of a certain founder.

We should setup a small factory in the Dome of the Rock.

Don't forget the labor to build it the insurance to cover damaging parts during installation would be far past any basic labor.

Custom wound platinum springs for the reverb pan (pan carved and engraved by hand from a solid billet of #7075 aluminum) ...... cryogenically treated, of course.

OMG Ceriatone now has our amp for sale in kit form! They ship the parts individually in racing boats. The fuel cost alone almost doubles the price of the amp.

We have to step this up.

I think we should build it on the Moon.

............. I think we should build it on the Moon.

Which one? Io would be great for the cryogenic conditions (but we'd have to import firewood ...... and an atmosphere), and offers favorable tax treatment. But methinks Planet X would offer more cachet ..... better marketing potential?

[Reeltarded]

Oh.. yes, of course..

Maybe it would be easier if this thing was just a dressed up Rocket clone. If we build it on our moon we have access to parts from the Apollo program. Just thinking.

Cryo treatment is passé.. How about NOS tubes irradiated with light from the Hale-Bop comet during it's earth fly by at the time of Heavens Gate "sensation"?

Good idea! Building on that strategy, what if the cryo treatment was done with fragments of Shoemaker–Levy 9 retrieved from Jupiter? And if we can retrieve ALL of it, we'll have a solid barrier against market entry from any competitors.

[Reeltarded]

Let's just claim all that stuff! Sounds easier.

Miles, I believe this is what you're seeking, only 10,000 times larger... But it must be put on the moon and directed at North Korea, just to piss them off.

<--------------This would be the result.

[Blackburn]

Found it. Now it just needs to be moved. Do they make space tractors??

Maybe, while on the moon, we can get Martin to tweak it for guitar, as I don't think any one of us may be qualified enough to do so.

[Reeltarded]

OH! I want that thing to be an autonomous robot walking around and dealing justice like a deck of cards!!!!

How hard is it to build a Tesla robot? That looks more worthy than an amp.
