I just picked up this Epiphone valve junior combo for super cheap. It has a sticker that says “powered by voodoo labs” and has definitely been modded as it has a Jensen mod speaker instead of the stock eminence. I looked on the voodoo amps website and they don’t list Epiphone as one of the amps they mod. I really don’t like the look of the sticker and am hoping a previous owner just stuck it there. I’d like to remove it but don’t want to takeaway any kind of service or modification record.

My newest partscaster - a Keith Richards style tele. I really love playing five strings open G and I love The Rolling Stones so it felt like a perfect match. Tracking down the schaller brass bridge was fun

Originally a 50’s black guard tele owned by Eric Clapton, Clapton gifted the guitar to Keith and was used on tour by both Keith and Ronnie Wood. Keith’s Arkansas born guitar tech Ted Newman Jones modified the guitar by putting a PAF humbucker in the neck. Later Keith would have the bridge swapped to a heavy brass saddled model. He also has a duplicate of this guitar in a natural finish named “Malcolm.”

I love these little 5 watt and under miniature tube amps, and they sound great with just a few slight mods. Can’t believe companies couldn’t make selling affordable tube amps viable in their catalogs anymore.

This is my Marshall class 5, Vox AC4TV, and Fender Champion 600. They sound amazing and the Marshall and vox are both super loud for only 5 or 4 watts. Plus it’s fun browsing the prehistoric Internet forums for cool mods. Been looking hard for an epiphone valve junior or valve special in a combo version but everyone wants to charge a hundred bucks to ship them…

Above are some of the personal items and rations a Roman soldier of the late Republic or early Principate may have had:

From left to right:
- Copper flask for olive oil (although this may have been used more for utility than consumption)
- Net bag for carrying bread, fruits, and vegetables
- Ceramic jar for honey on a plate with bread
- Ceramic oil lamp
- Wooden bowl and spoon with a serving of “puls fabata”- a bland porridge of spelt berries, fava beans, and pork belly and the main ration for Roman soldiers
- Wooden goblet with red wine or “posca”- a drink made with honey, water, and vinegar
- Barrel shaped leather costrel for carrying red wine vinegar
- Leather “scrotum” bag full of various coins or treasure either from the soldier’s pay or from pillaging
