Aren’t you beginning to feel time gaining on you? It’s like a predator. It’s stalking you. Oh, you can try and outrun it…but in the end, time is going to hunt you down and make the kill.

I’ve been worrying lately that the day would come soon when casual conversation with friends would be dominated by an excess of detail over various chronic maladies.
Well…
My Hartke 3500 and I have been together for 16 years. Seen many a club date, jam session, and innumerable practices. We’ve gone on the road together, recorded albums together, taken accolades and flying ashtrays. But then the buzzing began. Not that annoying 60Hz hum. No, this was different. And it’s been getting worse.
I’ve replaced the batteries, installed a new tube, turned the volume down, played quieter, but the buzz persists. It’s not the cables or the effects, though one of those needed a (battery) clip replacement a few months ago. I guess I’ll try replacing the speakers–one at a time, of course, because insurance won’t cover the costs.
If that doesn’t work…damn, I hope it’s the speakers.
