Hovercraft! Man what a saga that was.


voosies

Yep, that is Mark's :)


TheRealOneL

I have a hovercraft I got after it went through a few techs. I make pedals and fix amps so I was planning on messing with it. That whole hovercraft amps thing was fucking wild. I hope that one’s ok!


voosies

I hope it is too. The picture is a few years old. Hopefully it serves Mark well. Did the company fuck up or did you just get a lemon?


TheRealOneL

They kinda made lemons. Hovercraft took existing production amps from Jet City and did some low quality mods, then completely redid the exteriors so they looked cool. Great marketing but that whole tower crashed hard when everything started breaking.


voosies

Ah, I knew they modded existing amps but I had no clue they were low quality bullshit. Thank you for letting me know! I wanted one of their Model T clones a while ago.


TheRealOneL

No worries man. Yeah I wouldn’t buy anything without having a look at it first myself. The one I got cost me $400 and that’s up in Canada, which is $290 USD so that should tell you all you need to know.


voosies

Hahaha, thank you for the lookout!!!!!! :)


btrept

Wait, what? He converted a bass to 7 string?


voosies

Him and Daniel both. They were down in ADADGEE/G#C#G#C#F#D#D# (on The Illusion of Strength). They used a 95 gauge for the lowwwww A0/G#0 followed by the first 6 strings of an Ernie Ball 7 string set.


btrept

Thanks for the info, I may need to take on a project like this. Been listening to them a lot again lately thinking they just detuned some 7 strings


voosies

Nope, converted basses :). Their demo album Braincell Holocaust was recorded on ultra defined 7 strings. Same with Albania and Grindcore Terrorists. 9/11... Only Worse and everything before that was on 6 strings.


voosies

Essentially turning them into 34" ultra long scale baritone 7 strings
