Warmoth gives my wallet an owie

BTW, what are you going to play this through, because a cheap tube amp can run 8-15 hundred bucks too (unless you're Max).

I'd be running this through my only amp: a 50-watt Peavey tube combo. Yeah yeah, I know. When you spend as much time reading and thinking about guitars as we do, it somehow seems wrong to own (and love) a Peavey. But it was really affordable and it does sound great, despite the logo on the front. Someday, when I have the room and the cash, I'd like to upgrade to a nice Fender something-or-other (I think that's the sound I'm looking for), but for now I'm satisfied amp-wise.

Y'all can judge all you want.  :laughing7:

I'd take a Peavey over a Fender any day, if those were my only two choices. Peavey got a bad name back in the '70s/'80s because of their solid state offerings, which were pitifully bad. But, since then, they've come out with a pretty wide variety of nice tube amps that are reasonably priced. Unfortunately, nobody's ever forgiven them for those miserable SS amps, so the company gets undeservedly bad-mouthed all over the place.

I'd be happy to own a 5150 or 6505+

My main gigging amp for over a decade has been a Peavey Classic 30 - it's acknowledged as one of the best tube amp designs ever by amp builders. I own an early-70's no-master Marshall 50-watt head, but I had to change the tubes every year or so when I was gigging regularly because that particular one has a high plate voltage, and even though the modification is simple, it would "lose value."  :icon_scratch: Kinda like how throwing away the Klusons and putting Schallers on a '57 Strat costs you thousands, even though it's a better guitar... :icon_scratch: I recently sold my Mesa Boogie Mark II to a collector, it was an OK amp but not too versatile. The Peavey is like a well-built not-hinky early clean Marshall, but it dirties up well with a little push to the front - it's a dead-simple circuit, like the early Marshalls, like the Fender Bassman, like the new Modern Classic Marshall or the new Fender Vibro-King. Peavey Black Widow speakers are also a great product, as is a lot of the 1980's and 1990's rack gear - I have a parametric EQ from them that's as good as they get.

I've got an old Carvin X-60C before they switched to EL-34's I bought used when it was a couple years old.  It rocks, it had no resale value when I got it,  and barring the next super mega-star making it a collectible and then dying in his prime to seal the status, even if it becomes 'kinda collectible' it'll never be astronomical. After a while, I realized what I had all along is pretty much my perfect amp.  Especially once I slapped a set of EMG SA's in my strat.

It is oddly addicting, isn't it?

Incredibly Addicting cagey.

I don't know how it could be something that isn't a real word. You probably meant addictive, Cagey.

The grammar police strike again! I'm not being deceiving either. :glasses10:

Haha, got me,
but unlike 75% of england at least my vocab is more than
Sup blud, oi Dickead and ill stab ya boi! 

But yeah you got me hehe  :glasses9:

not to mention we can spell words properly, such as Aluminium and colour as aposed to the US counterparts... FOOLS  :icon_jokercolor:

Oooh good point elfro hehe  :glasses9:

I think the second "i" you put in Aluminum is actually the first "i" you leave out of medicine when you say it "medcine."

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_AmdvxbPT8[/youtube]

Eventually, it all equals out, like the way you put an "a" on words that should end in "er" and vice versa.
Water pronounced "wata," and Jaffa Cakes pronounced "Jaffer Cakes."

 

[erogenousjones17]

Note sure about "aluminium" (it tends to go both ways in Canada I think), but "colour" is definitely spelled with a "u". :icon_thumright:

Now your talking about accents and not spelling. I dont say medcine or wata cause im not from that part of the uk.

I'll just take my aluminium foil and colour it black. I learnt something knew as aposed to leareded (that last one was definitely some inbred hillbilly spelling.)
