    Blue Marvel 15 4 0hm

    Is the peavey Blue Marvel a good 15 for a practice/ studio 115 cab. I am running a '68 basman head and looking for a vintage sound. Thanks for some feedback.

    paint/finishing question

    I would prep it like mentioned then take it to your local body shop just ask what they would charge to shoot it with automotive paint. prime it first with a good gray laquer based primer and have no raw wood showing. Being a car painter my self I would do it. Mike

    1/8 turn saved me $2K

    I was about to post a new thread about a simular problem with my fender p '51 re-issue. I feel like the action is a little high. Should I adjust the bridge first or go right to the truss rod adjustment. Any advice appreciated. Mike
