Try a 40 watt 4-10 amp sometime; they sound truly amazing with lots of clean full tone. Like my 1962 Concert Amp!

No, it isn't age...
[QUOTE=Athana;4079041]
Intolerance for high volume is an old age thing.. Old people run at the sound of it. Volume takes a little bit of getting used to..within the first 15 minutes to 1/2 an hour your settled in and as long as you plug in every so often & turn it up..your set. Try it. : ) Not to be argumentative, as this is a very polite forum, but you do realize that this "settling in" to which you refer is the effect of damage-inducing volume, right? You're basically anesthetizing your ears with volume, opening them to more damage as you keep turning up. Your inner ear is not a muscle, it doesn't "get used to" damaging volume. I would strongly advise people never to follow this advice. Ask old guys like Pete Townsend whose constant companion in life is loud ringing and an inability to sleep. Again, honestly not trying to be argumentative, but another point of view is appropriate here. If you're lucky, you'll be old some day. Being old and deaf is up to you. |

I don't think Eric Clapton..Jimi Page,Jack Bruce,Eric Johnson,Robbie Robertson..etc are nearly deaf...its true Jimi Hendrix is..but thats only because he is dead.. : )
What you say is true & oddly I as well. When I first got married our apt was over a laudromat and our neighbor loved rock music.Our living room was a Marshall 4X12'..Marshall 4 X15..a Fender & a set of drums. My wife(who was 19) says for that first year she had a constant ringing in her ear & it woke her up sometimes.I guess thats what it was..and i must admit she talks kind of loud but I just think it runs in her family(when we are in a restaurant you can hear her brother from anywhere in the room : ) I think it varies.If you dont have it directly blasting into your ear you can safely get it up pretty loud. |
