    tubes pros and cons?

    just get one w/ master volume, that allows you to overdrive the pre-stage and leave the power stage at low volume ... my personal favourite: SOVTEK MIG's ... google it or e-bay them ... the best bang for the buck by far, and it smokes a lot of "big names" out there for rowdy-rock :-) ohh ...

    Tube Amp Troubles...Help With Diagnosis, Please?

    yeah ... just pop them in (pre-amp) ... it seems to be a nice amp ... do yourself a favor and get some JJ-Tesla from www.eurotubes.com ... probably the best 20 bucks you'll spend ... other than that ... make a visual inspection for poor soldering, the obvious stuff, you know ... alfred

    Online "Blue Book" prices for used gear.

    they call it: www.ebay.com .... :-) forget the blue-book or the Vintage Guides ... the prices there and what you pay/get on e-bay fluctuate quite a lot ... e-bay is what you really get/pay ... the rest is theory bye alfred

    Great Electric Tones

    he might be somewhat "dated" by todays standards, but I always found that Michael Schenker had a *very* distinct sound .... putting a FlyingV into a M. you can tell w/in a second ... very mellow, soft and melodic sounding ... sometimes maybe too beautiful.... I still like his "live at...

    Any opinions on Carvin neck??

    the standard ones, i guess ... the bridge is really an ice-pick type of pu... I do like to run both in single coil - has a nice and chimey sound to them (when played clean) also i have a maple fretboard that might add some highs ... to be honest its a dream guitar and I plan on putting Kent...

    Any experience with very low-wattage tube amps?

    you might be better off buying a fender champ or so (8 watts ?) ... and run the 1x12 from there you might even be able to sell it afterwards :-) ... and you can still use it for small live acts ... seems so much more versatile to me just a thought ...
