Stingray5 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 They say the amp worked ok after the drop. A demonstration of this would have been nice!

Musicman20 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 That is awesome...wonder if lightweight amps could take this?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) Didn't they do this is the 90's with the last series of amps as well by chucking them off the roof of a building? Edited June 6, 2009 by Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Was it Eden who on their website had the amp that had been through a house fire? IIRC it was scorched and the nobs had melted away but it still worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB1 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 MB1. An original Trace Elliot amp would have pulled the Crane Over! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I don't think I'm likely to be dropping my LMII off any tall buildings anytime soon, so I think I'll be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hubrad Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I like this.. a bit short and as you say someone should climb down and plug it in, but ho hum!

BB[/quote] Jeff Berlin? ...Could we not at least try? I saw an article in Total Guitar years ago where they got mad in their office and, with having to review yet ANOTHER hardcase they decided to put a guitar in it and throw it down the stairs and then out of the window, about 5 stories high I think...and found the guitar did not have a mark on it at all...and the case survived! So from an angry test, it went to a 5 star review. Edited June 11, 2009 by Kongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
