I was thinking about picking up a current production SLO to go with my other older SLOs. I had service questions (warranty specs, cap life expectancy and replacement sources, bias recommendations, return policy, hourly bench rate for repairs, transformer info, etc.). Really simple stuff. They...

Sorry, guys, I usually don't bitch about much and just roll with the punches. But I have to about this. I have left multiple phone messages and sent multiple emails. Simple questions needing simple answers. All I've gotten in return for the past 2 months is the cold shoulder. Zero replies. I'm...

Buxom Betty, but (1) Friedman stopped making them and (2) it's 50w as opposed to the Twin's 85w.

Price drop: $900 local

I would be all over a PNW amp fest. I've got a few heads ready to rumble.

Timely thread. Contacted a gal last week on FBMP, selling her son's 1960B that was 100% beat-to-absolute-sh*t. She wanted $750 and wouldn't take a dime less "because of the quality Marshall sound." I sent her links of other 1960B's in the area that were mint for $500, and one that was roached...

In my SLO's, I prefer NOS 6P3S-E (Russian military grade 5881). Mesa STR425's and current production Sovtek 5881's are the same tube.

Most things 35 years old have a host of issues...especially those named Karen and Gloria.

In Glenoma? Yup, same cab. I was trying to package it with some of his other stuff to make it more enticing for him. He finally got back to me and said the cab was spoken for. Too bad. He was only a 20 min drive away, too. The Memphis is still here. Funny thing about that guy...I took it to a...

I'm currently working on a deal that involves a Marshall 1520 cab that has its original quad of 12" Sidewinders. If the deal goes thru, you're welcome to swing by and move some air.

Late 90's, cover band, insanely packed bar, I play Felder's first phrase in the counter-point solo in Life In The Fast Lane a half step down. The wrong notes filled the club like a fart in an elevator. Everybody on stage (including me) and every guitar player in the crowd instantly laugh their...

Pots cleaned up fine. I decided to swap in JJ-ECC83S pulls, but I left the older Tesla EL-34's in since they sounded fine. The tone did improve. I also took some Clorox wipes to the tolex and it got rid of surface gomers I thought were tolex nicks. It cleaned up pretty good. Price drop: $950...

It's been sitting, not getting used. Time for someone else to enjoy it. It's got a few scratchy pots, but I'm going to work some Deoxit into the pots this weekend. I'll also clean up the tolex this weekend and get some more pics shot. This thing rips. $1100 local PNW, $1250 shipped with PP/F&F...

Meh, whatever players think a benchmark should be...IIc+, SLO, '59 Bassman, late 60's 100w plexi, blackface Twin, etc.
