Paraphrasing: [i] "This item was purchased in 1974". . ."this is a limited edition in the fact that it is from that year". . ."this was purchased as is in the picture". . ."it is all geniune parts as purchased with the guitar". . ."never swapped any parts out". . ."all parts are from the original purchase". . .[/i] So obviously not a limited edition in any way shape or form and the claim is that any mods were carried out prior to the current owner purchasing - this may mean pots, pickups etc may all have been modded prior to 1974.

SVTII is a fantastic head but they weigh a ton (85lbs plus whatever case you put it in). Personally i wouldn't want to be lugging one around to lots of pub gigs, lol. SVP pre-amp with a decent (maybe class D) power amp might work well

I've asked what makes it limited & mentioned that it isn't 100% original becuase of the bridge - let's see what the response is

Heard this at the Jazz Cafe last night & my feet couldn't stop moving Drifts a bit in places but sounded great wound up really loud. . .

Just hit Love TKO - one of my favourites

Apart from dredging every single 'find a musician' type website for another band, I'd get my favourite songs queued up and then play along with them all - LOUD. Always works for me

I was at the Jazz Cafe last night to see the Haggis Horns. They were good but it was really rammed and not very comfortable (we stood near the back to get the better sound but there was a constant stream of people walking back & forth and the usual crowd who seemed more intent on talking at the top fot heir voices rather than listening to the band, grrr). Highlight for me was actually a guy called Jesse Dee who performed solo at the start & then came on with Corrina Greyson for a few songs.

If you want to see an amazing range of AC's - including some custom colours like this flip/flop purple/blue: or even a spalted maple: the check out Sleek Elite in Japan & look at their sold stock pages: [url="http://www.sleekelite.com/"]http://www.sleekelite.com/[/url] Some amazing Alembics here as well

I'll 'fess up that this is heading my way soon:

I've heard a rumour that two more Allevas are heading over to the UK and straight into the hands of BC'ers. A burgundy mist KPB4 with roasewood board and matching headstock and a sonic blue LG4 with dalbergia negra board and also with matching headstock

Love it, seafoam green is up there with sonic & daphne blue as my favourite classic colours

Not me - although I was the one that got him to check the date on the neck!

[quote name='Buzz' post='711989' date='Jan 13 2010, 10:08 PM']As I'm not fond of the scratchplate on the normal SR5, I think these are an improvement.[/quote] Agree 100% to that. The standard Ray 5 plate makes it not look like a Ray to me - the round scratchplate is all part of the Ray look to me, lol.

I can't recommend these highly enough if you want narrower string spacing on a 5'er: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=73202&hl=spector"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=spector[/url] This looks a particularly nice model and a very good price Promise I'm not on commission, lol.

Anyone else here told him via EBay that they don't think it's genuine? I did so it would only take 2 other people to make his claim of "two" a little suspect. . .

I've been thinking about why I've never really rated AC much & decided that he just comes across as being really dull. . .

I think USA 'street' price is supposed to be about $700 for the head & $600 for the power amp (relative pricing seems odd so maybe the amp will come in less than that). Not sure if it's dual voltage or not but, if so, then it would be a nice 'toy' to bring home from a US trip.

He does sound genuine but you can never tell. Interesting spelling. . .
