Hello! Do you how to find jamaican ska tabs? Authentic ska, not Sublime/ No Doubt "ska" (sorry, but that's not ska as far as I'm concerned). It's really hard, I can't find on the web neither on books. I love The Skatalites, Prince Buster, The Maytals and so on. Their songs are not very...

I was wondering if the Orange 20b or the 35b would work well with the Hofner Icon. I am after a vintage sound. Or should I try to find a cheap valve amp? Can anyone help me?
