never mind I think I have found it.

Hi I have this valve which I'm trying to identify. I bought a JJ Tesla ecc83 from Watford valves a while back , but I don't think it's that as there is no red writing on it. Which means it might have come out of the Hartke LH500 which I leant to @D0gS0litud3 Any ideas? Has a little radar dish shaped thing inside on top, Letters I can make out are U3S1B And 503

Hi too far for me sadly, I was wondering if you could tell me what you made the metal grill from?

Helium balloons....your welcome. Also helps you you to hit those high bv notes at the end of the gig.

Ohhh yes please.

Out of curiosity I thought I'd measure the two whilst I had them out. The pale blue with the maple board is the (mezzo in case you don't know.) I did a couple of pics that the ibanez stats don't give you, which are probably more related to playability. Ie 1-4 fret distance and comparable width at 12th fret. Apologies if this is getting a bit off topic.

I have both, and similarly not huge hands. I have to say if you are above the 10th fret, B E and A stings are almost impossible for me to reach on the mezzo without my thumb getting strained. Not a massive issue as you can get to them elsewhere. What i do appreciate is the 2-5 and 1-4 stretch is a smidge less than the full scale. Its become my goto.

Collection from where?

Its a shame the 3 peak players didn't fancy a monster impromptu lowend accompaniment! I will try and get along to the new date.

Still learning and trying to help. Thanks for your input. Do you think 115 refers to the 110v mains input? Back in the thread it was suggested to get a board from a 115 model and swap it in as there was one on ebay.
