883963 2010-05-11 20:29:00 Supposed to be a 'leaked' photo that is of something that may or may not exist.

It looks a little odd to me with the shadows and contrast of the area here they meet the floor and the background.

Just wondering if it looks real to anybody who's familiar with Photoshop.

883964 2010-05-11 20:51:00 It's quite hard to make an accurate judgement from such a small, low-quality image. Your post mentions it being 2032x1520, but the image in the link is only 640x479. It would also help to know which specific item(s) in the image you believe have been modified. inphinity (7274)

PF-1 Attachments refused to upload it, and I assumed it was original size that did it, so I posted it right from my Picasa account .

All the black'blue cabs are suspect as might be the guy with his arm over them .

The guy in the pix is supposed to be in the son of Greg Allman's band .

Maybe I can find the original pix and repost it . but I am kinda surprised that it got lowered pixels that way .

883966 2010-05-12 00:59:00 Best you post a link to the original SJ. What's the big deal anyway??? Nothing seems out of the ordinary there, unless he has it hidden down his trouser-leg. Pink speakers might have been a bit suspect, but then they could be for an all girl or gender-cchallenged band, and so what?

Cheers

There may be a case of bait-n-switch going on here and I think the photo is 'shopped' to make it look like the whole pix is contiguous . These are very expensive amplifiers and somehow they don't look real to me - but they are taking pre-paid orders and no-one has seen one of them .

Something here smells like a wet 'roo, not that I ave any idea of the aromatics of a wet 'roo - although I think a wet dead dog is prolly close .

I'd die to own one of them as they were the epitome of amps in the '60s/'70s until the original company went belly up .

This is a new incarnation of that old company and the name is a registered trade mark - although there's nothing wrong there and anyone can buy a trademark if the originator wants to relinquish it .



Horrible wallpaper though .

You picked up on that too? I mean - it's a vacuum cleaner parts/repair shop and what's some multi-thousand dollar amps and cabinets doing there f'er cryin' out loud!?! Just rings like a lead bell to me .

I took the original pix (which is NOT posted anywhere on the net - I have a copy of the originating PDF) and expanded it via Picasa and cannot see good lines of demarcation from one surface to the other - so I say - Hmmmm - maybe! But it's just hinky, that's all .

883969 2010-05-12 03:14:00 I'd wait 'til someone takes delivery of one before coughing up the bucks.
Their website is still 'under construction'...apparently since 2006!!

The new company apparently bought the set used by John Paul Jones of Led Zep at a Christie's Auction . That could be what you see .
