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.

Anybody here ever do research on production numbers for "benchmark" amps no long being made?

Noticed the string tree...do the B and E strings return to pitch ok?

I'd love to check out BAD's version. Of the three main changes (pedal friendly loop, DC heaters, trannies), I'm really curious to see how the output tranny behaves with the masters at 6-8. This where OG SLOs step on the gas.

"boxy"? I've had some Mesa 1x10 combos that were boxy as hell (Subway Blues, Subway Rocket, Express). That 10" Eminence that Randall chose did his amps no favors.

I'm way late to this party. In this image the bottom right isn't series. It's parallel/series. Series should look like this (edited with MS Paint)...

off the market going to hang on to them for a few more years

Mods/tweaks were mentioned. Whenever I buy an SLO, removing the bright cap across the lugs of the gain pot on the lead channel is the first thing I do. This is all that the Haynes mod does. Once the chassis is pulled, it's litteraly a 10 second job with a soldering iron.

I've bought and sold probably 20 SLOs over the years; my first one in '99. I'd fall in love with it, then fall out of love for whatever reason and flip it. A little time would go by and then rinse and repeat. They do their own thing, that's for sure.

For a few more bucks you can swing a used SLO-30/HR-25; maybe even a HR50+ if you dig deep enough.

You owe me one cup of coffee and two paper towel strips. That was good.

'68 Silverface Bassman with no tubes at a local garage sale for $20 back in '78. My friend's dad put all new RCA's in it for another $20.

<----Faber locking is what I have on my avatar. No complaints. However, the best I've ever used was Steve Rowan era Pigtail. I did have the Hipshot stuff on a Standard not too long ago; it sounded good.

Kirk's folks were a big white dude and a small Filipino gal. No Latino blood in him. Still, as a little Filipino grandma, I bet he can cook a mean chicken adobo.

'86? This is pre-Canyon Road. You buy it at Ken Warmoth's house?

I still haven't gotten off my ass yet and picked up any effects units for my boat anchor...

SLO, but it has to be old enough to drink. If it's had a few kids, that's ok.
