    I have still to buy an amp, probably in the week end. For what I was told and I tried in the shop the switch is for pickup selector. Then there is master volume.

    here we are. I asked photo of serial number and the preamp ;) For the preamp i lack knowledge to judge. Serial number seems confirming that is Korean and 2007 model.

    The `passive` option is something that i never thought about. Thx for the hint. I asked the shop to send me photo of serial number and electronics but in any case, at my very beginner level, the feeling when I will try it later will make or not the deal! thx again

    Thx again everybody. In 11 hours I will try it and if the feel is good I will bring at home. Thx also for pointing out that is a guitar amp. I really didn't thought about that possibility so I will hunt more carefully for the electronic part I will try to ask which pre amp is in place but...

    Thx a lot for this input! I was not aware about that. I will investigate once there! UPDATE: Shop just now told me that even if it is not in the photo the Original HArd Case is included... only that one should be 100USD worth so the deal seems even better now even if i have to upgrade pre amp...

    Hi Folks, as i wrote in my welcome message i always played guitar and now i would like to pass to the dark side of the moon! :) Living in Hong Kong the bad is that most shops has very low end or very high end gear.
