Professional Musician - lots of qualifiers (and non qualifiers ~wink~) for this one... I have earned my living in music always, whether it be clubs, touring, demos, master sessions, and plenty of production related gigs, in some shape or form, it has always been music related. I know VERY...

These are 32 ohm CTS speakers

I see several excellent points here: 1. Yes, they are iconic and like fender many people associate that tone with "bass". 2. No, there is no such thing as a "solid state" SVT. If you own a piece of equipment that says "SVT" on it, and it doesn't have 14 vacuum tubes and weigh 97lbs, you don't...

Excellent tone will nearly always be two things: Expensive and Heavy. The question becomes how committed are you to excellent tone? Look to those that are succeeding and excelling at the thing you want to be. What are they using? I don't know what the exact percentages are but more often than...

Sometimes it goes even deeper for me. I fall in and out of love with pick-ups. I've got shoe boxes full of pick-ups that I have installed / removed / installed / removed in multiple instruments. I have this Creme Bartolini P-bass pick-up that I KNOW I have installed over a dozen times in 3 or 4...

I don't know a lot about them. I have a very good friend in Nashville that had a pair of them in road cases he was trying to get rid of. I've never played through one but I know enough pro guys that have to assume its a real box.

Bring back the old green/silver grill cloth

We're planning Currently traveling. I'll post some pics early next week

Just bought another 72' with matching flatback cab this morning. Picture coming soon...

Oddly enough, if you have a Hamfest (Ham Radio Convention) that comes anywhere close to you, this is THE PLACE to find NOS tubes. Make the relationships with these people. I have huge stockpiles of NOS Sylvania, RCA, and GE tubes. You may have to do a little digging through some dusty old boxes...

You are correct the 6c4 tube does not have a shroud, this is also true of the tubes in the lower chassis.

Too funny, I was going to go pick this amp up on Monday. Someone sent me a link to the Craigslist ad and I contacted him yesterday. I'm in Atlanta for a few days and I was going to circle back and buy this early next week. Congratulations! Great find!

She has certainly been "babied" since I have owned her! Many of these amps have interesting stories and this one is no different. In the early 90's I had the opportunity to play with a very significant bluegrass legend, even though my standup skills weren't (and still aren't) great. After 1 or 2...

I'd be very interested to know where you found a paddle switch? I would buy several if I knew where to get them!

No, this one has an Altec 421A 15" speaker in it.
