I've gotten at least three or four of these letters and they're in the brown UPS envelopes and look pretty legit.

I started getting letters from UPS recently that say I owe them money for a package I shipped in Jan, 2022 that had too little postage on it. I think it was probably an amp I sold on Reverb, but can't find anything that matches up with the dollar amounts or dates. They say I owe them $123...

I would think AZ would be the natural choice, since Fender already has a good footprint in Scottsdale. Real estate is no longer cheap in the Phoenix area, but the state is very business friendly.

I just got one of these for about that price. I had to do it at that price, had to. I LOVE this amp. Worth every penny and more.

Are you guys playing in cookie monster bands that the Runt 50 doesn't have enough gain? Sheesh. I put a 12AT7 in V1 in mine and I still don't dime the gain knob. I love this amp and it's probably the cheapest tube head I own. But I have a Suhr SL67 coming next week and the Runt may have to...

I just had an SV20H for two weeks, flipped it. IME, these 20w heads sound great, but are too loud for a practice amp, yet can't hang with a drummer at band practice. If your needs are somewhere in between that, then a 20w may fit the bill. I had a 2525C and sounded glorious. But I took it to...

I think I paid $279 for mine used a few years ago. It has saved my ass at a gig once and it it's always with me for a backup. Can't go wrong for the money.

I don't know how Mike is with email, but he used to answer the phone when he was in Seattle. Dave Friedman is very responsive on email.

I will PM you the guy I dealt with recently. Though he also sat on my parts order for a few weeks, then apologized and threw a Soldano shirt in with my order.

Can you borrow the gear from the guy you're filling in for? There was a British Invasion band here a while ago and a few of the guys worked at Fender. They just about all played Fender guitars and amps and sounded fantastic.

Ironically, that gun nut thread over there is so big, I think people would consider it a good resource. I know I go back and search for some stuff in there once in a while. I have to think, when the mods aren't getting pegged by their girl bosses, they sometimes fantasize about owning guns and...

There is a thread on TGP that the mods let go on for years, still going on about guns. Can't discuss laws and politics there, and a lot of antis jump in and make snide comments that the mods delete. But it's like the only near-forbidden fruit over there. BTW, I'm a gun nut and FFL, so I like...

Some pillow biter mod over there gave me a time out for responding to some other cuck who said I "voted for" some BS having to do with customs/import duties. I don't even remember what it was about, but I hadn't started anything political at all. After that I no longer renewed my paid...

Everyone get off my lawn, but I am getting to the point that I can't handle anything with more than six knobs. The old Marshalls just do it for me. If I need to bring an SD-1 and Hot Plate with me, those and the old Marshall are still a lot less than a boutique amp. I love the black panel...

I thought i saw $3799 somewhere.

YT videos are hard to go by. I'm selling my Dirty Shirley head because I bought it based on YT videos and it didn't sound like that to me at band practice. At home alone, sure, but it didn't work with the band. I saw an A/B video today of a Friedman Plex and a Marshall 1959SLP and I...

So why not just get a 1959SLP? I have two and they just slay everything in their paths. I keep buying Friedmans, selling them and then looking at the next model - Plex and now Jose. But those 100w Plexis get THE tone every time. They're' big, heavy and loud, and I much prefer the more...

I love to roll tubes. I'm prepping a new bare headshell for snakeskin tolex for my SLO-30 now, so the chassis is out and it's way easier to roll tubes that way. Should be done in the next day or two, then she goes back together and I'll leave her in with those tubes for a while.

When I'm at home and playing by (with) myself, I find it a little too gainy. But with a band, oh man, it cuts like a knife and is the sound I hear in my head when I'm not playing with a band.
