Just bought a "new" amp! Fender 400PS

Is that rig allready finished?

I used to work as an apprentice for Rich K a number of years ago when I was just a kid finishin up college, and its because of that experience that I say: probably not.

Dont get me wrong, hes a really REALLY nice guy, and knows his stuff better than almost anyone out there. Rich also has some of the best 'ears' around. Overall a pretty genius type guy.

He's also really pretty crazy. Back then he spent 90% of his time chain smoking and rambling. If he could have gotten himself focused, organized, etc we could have finished in an evening what we would drag out over 2 weeks. There were amps sittin in his basement that people had been waiting on for MONTHS that never got touched.

Of course, if he liked you and your amp, hed get right on it and start crankin on it before you walked out the door...so who knows, maybe the PS is done. But word to the wise, dont bring that man any boogie products and no GK stuff either cuz it just aint gonna get done.
