Well,
It's been a pleasant surprise this Thursday, I dropped by my local GC and picked up my new (used) amp - it's heavy!
I am really glad I picked this up, it sounds great with my SWR , I spent a good part of the afternoon playing through it, and am quite impressed with the tones I can get from it, for 335.00 it was a steal! Thank you @godofthunder59 Scott!

I'm here to help :D
 
Broke a string last night at punk rock rehearsal. Haven't done that in... 40 years?? Right at the saddle...
Finished rehearsal with no 'A' string. It was time to flex the resourceful muscle I guess. Rock n roll!
Gotta dig up the file I s'pose.

I've never broke a string playing. That is pretty R&R.:bassist:
 
If you have the small plate on the VP it’s the BT 1
If you have an early VP with the large plate it is the BT 2

To be double clear, is it the BT1 short key, or regular key, or does it matter?

Both my '19, and '21 have the small plate, and are made in Indonesia, both under 9 lbs, the '21 is closer to 8 lbs.
