How do you get by playing with the covers on? I have fat fingers and I removed both of mine. :)

i removed the cover over the neckpup, but i put it on once in a while when i want that old thumping sound you get when playing with a pick above the neckpup.. but when slapping and playing with my fingers it's off.. When it's on i'm getting bruised nevertheless...
 
in general, different faceplate


the customshops mk1&mk2
-----------------------------
-PTP-wiring.
-can only be used with 6550's
-2 preamptubes, more headroom
-the mk1's were built in about 80 units and the mk2 in a bout 20-30 if i remember correctly, however it is far more rare to see an mk1 on ebay.

New MK3
-------------
-circuitboard-wiring.
-can use 6550's an kt88's.
-3 preamptubes, more distortion.
-Have indicators if a tube fails.
the mk3's have been known to break down on US buyers due to bad tubes and shippingissues.

hmmm, very interesting. I bet it sounds phenominal.

mk1&2 sounds similar to what Matamp is doing with the GTO 6550s...except I think their's can run wt KT88s as well. I like the idea of indicators for bad tubes on the mk3, the V8's have that- pretty sweet feature.
