running watches inexpensive image
Travis
I'm going to start playing shows soon with my band and was wondering what kind of guitar head and cabinet is good quality but inexpensive. Help me out please!:)
Answer
Hello there,
If you are on a budget, you can pretty much forget tube heads. Good tube heads are pricey. About the best inexpensive tube head is the Jet City 20 watt head. Nice sounding amp, but only 20 watts of power means you have to mic it and run it through the PA. For gigging, you need more power.
If you want a digital modeling amp, look at the Fender Mustang IV. Nice sounding head;. Actually the 2x12 combo version, the Mustang III, would work for gigging.

If you do not want a digital modeling amp, a good solid state head is the B-52.

I would suggest you look in your local craigslist to see what used gear is available. Used gear sells for about half the new price.

What is an inexpensive way to get rid of bed bugs?
Me Yo
I just got married and we don't have a lot of money. Everything we read tells us to call a professional to get rid of bed bugs but we can't afford it. I just wanted to know inexpensive but effective ways to get rid of them.
Answer
You have to call a professional I'm afraid. The sooner the better because they breed like crazy and the problem will just get worse and more expensive. If you are renting just move and make sure you wash everything, take apart furniture and clean every crook and cranny of it that you can possibly get into. One pregnant female in your stuff could bring back your problem.
DDT was the answer and still is the answer, but thanks to some environmentalist named Rachel Carson who wrote a book called "Silent Spring" (and none of the things she wrote about were even factual btw) DDT was banned in 1972. Bedbugs were virtually wiped out by then thanks to DDT. They were actually very common back in the day it was a normal thing to have bedbugs...people just learned to live with them! (How they did that is beyond me!) Since DDT has been banned they have come back in hordes. They're in hotel rooms, airplanes, hostels, everywhere, and it's all hush hush.
I know this because my mother used to run a hostel and it was diagnosed with bedbugs and no matter how many times it was sprayed with insecticides the problem still came back. If your job requires you to sleep in hotels I suggest using their bedding only and washing everything when you get home, clothes, the bag you carry them in etc. Even if you think it's overkill it's the only way to prevent them. Watch the news...they are everywhere.
Anyways one of the best way you can contain the problem is with cardboard. Apparently Native Americans used to do this. Lots of bedbugs end up in your walls in the insulation and everything, so they would stick cardboard against the walls overnight. The bedbugs would crawl into the cardboard when they were done their bloodsucking for the night and the next morning the cardboard would be burned.
Some other ideas which I got from the website below are to :
1. Inspect your mattress and bed frame, particularly the folds, crevices and the underside, and other locations where bedbugs like to hide.
2. Use a nozzle attachment on the vacuum to capture the bedbugs and their eggs. Vacuum all crevices on your mattress, bed frame, baseboards and any objects close to the bed. It's essential to vacuum daily and empty the vacuum immediately.
3. Wash all your linens and place them in a hot dryer for 20 minutes. Consider covering your pillows and mattress with a plastic cover.
4. Remove all unnecessary clutter.
5. Seal cracks and crevices between baseboards, on wood bed frames, floors and walls with caulking. Repair or remove peeling wallpaper, tighten loose light switch covers, and seal any openings where pipes, wires or other utilities come into your home (pay special attention to walls that are shared between apartments).
6. Monitor daily by setting out glue boards or sticky tape (carpet tape works well) to catch the bedbugs. Closely examine any items that you're bringing into your home.
7. Consult professional pest control services and discuss options that pose the least risk to humans and the environment.
The Health Department warns you could still see a few of the pests up to ten days after you take all the steps, but they call this normal. If you're still seeing the insects after two weeks, your best bet is to call in a professional to ensure they've been completely eliminated.
Where bedbugs can be found
* Seams, creases, tufts and folds of mattresses and box springs
* Cracks in the bed frame and head board
* Under chairs, couches, beds, dust covers
* Between the cushions of couches and chairs
* Under area rugs and the edges of carpets
* Between the folds of curtains
* In drawers
* Behind baseboards, and around window and door casings
* Behind electrical plates and under loose wallpaper, paintings and posters
* In cracks in plaster
* In telephones, radios, and clocks
Bedbugs can also travel along pipes, electrical wiring and other openings and come in from other apartments or dwellings.
Make sure you throw out your mattress and if you move...I really just wouldn't risk taking the couches, throw them out!
Hope this helps.
