They epitomise everything good about music and being in a band, with a very deep and genuine adoration of rock music and its history. He's a great ambassador, and one of the few torchbearers for good old honest rock music. [/quote] Could not have said it better myself, it fires my enthusiasm up watching all them great musicians/ producers. Also the BBC for putting something so interesting on TV.

My first proper bass too, Same colour but gold hardware, Quite expensive when they came out £410 in 1989 As I remember. Great necks and decent P/U's too.

Lovely looking cabs and Recessed Badges, Its little things like that that show you someone has spent a little time doing it right. I will put them on my GAS list.

. I'd be half tempted myself but its a long drive over the A66.

[/quote] Page was the session guitarist on "I can't Explain" there was a session drummer but Moon threw his drum kit in the street! Allegedly..

I always thought someone like Bill Sheehan would be a better choice and someone like Dave Grohl on drums just for his power and aggression, I think Townsend likes his new lead role too much to step back like he did with Moon and JE though.

I'm Comfused.com. Your second picture is a 400+ not a 400 you can see the pairs of 6l6's.

Wish Terry Brown was still producing them especially the recent stuff, They sound mushy and bloated now.

Nice bit of Monday night viewing on Sky Arts 1 at 10pm.

I'm on my forth one now which says something (stupid for selling or stupid for buying again!) I really love these and can't afford the new Mesa heads, They seem to be getting cheaper since the new Mesa Valve heads came out too. I never use the Graphic EQ really preferring to just use the tone controls on the amp which do take some getting use to and to be honest you would be best ignoring the numerals on the pots because they mean very little if you want to set it flat. Look after the valves and you will never have any problems IMO, I always revalve with JJ's as soon as I buy a new one. Combine a 400+ with a 1516 and it's tone heaven but I use to use it through a Ampeg fridge too.

Bought Nik's Schroeder cab off him, Really great friendly service from start to finish and his packing is nuclear proof ! Thanks again Si
