This morning I got into a car accident. I am okay, the other driver, as far as I know, is okay. My car is likely totaled and my amplifier, which was in my trunk, might also be totaled, but I haven't a place to plug it in and find out -- the casing around the amp itself is splintered and broken. I haven't checked out my guitar, but its case was ( Read more... )

Sucks.
Was it a tube amp? Be carefull touching anything grounded on it if you think anything cracked. Those fuckers can shock the shit out of you with a bad ground or a bridged cap.

Was it a rear ending?

Amp: Fender Vibrolux 2x10", all tube. I plugged it in and it seemed to work okay, surprisingly. Just the casing is all chipped and splintered. I'm going to have a friend who does excellent repair check it over regardless.

I was hit on the left side way back at the rear and spun across the street. It's the first accident I've ever been in and, sadly, I think it was my fault, which makes me feel like a complete dope--that I was too cocky with my driving skills or something, although the reality really doesn't come down to that. In all honesty, I guess I'm not sure whose fault it was and part of me thinks it doesn't matter.

Ugh ... Bad enough the car's totaled, but maybe the amp too? Damn, that's bad news. I'll think positive thoughts about it for ya.

Thanks Gary. Looks like the amp is surprisingly still in working condition, just worse for wear.

Now your amp will make you look way tougher. Hope everything works out reasonably enough.

I have a feeling everything will find a way to work out beautifully for you. I am very saddened though to hear of this. I am not of the prayer type, I only bless the fish down the street when I am eight. Since then I cross my fingers and grit my teeth...I will grit my teeth for you.
Worst yet trying to break the habitof gritting my teeth I started saying sportscar, maybe if I grit my teeth for you, you will receive a sportscar. If so, it must only be so cool that the Beach boys would have sung a... Please just accept my best and happiness to know that you are safe. I'm asking Moochie if he can help you out and he will offer as much as he can and so will I. By the way he chewed his mouth when I mentioned your name.
