I have been looking ta changing my bedroom practice amp for a while now... I had been using Fender Princton Chorus amps for low volume bedroom practice.. They are not perfect amps at all.. But they worked for a low volume but high gain practice amp that i could use with people sleeping in the house... my main amps are large tube stacks like the 5150 and a Marshall 800.... Plus various tube combos.. But for home use i prefered the sound of Solid State amps.... But after trying out a Line 6 Spider amp yesterday i think i need to upgrade my bedroom amp.... The Spider model i was using at the store i think was called Spider II and was a single 12 75 watt combo.... It was only $399 Canadian...

I'll be damned...
After reading what gearjoneser had to say about the small ss marshall he found so cheap(and has since sold) it got me thinking I should plug in mine again and see if I couldn't get a good sound from it- afterall they're from the same era. Just based on what I've learned about tone from this forum I ended up getting possibly the best non-tube sound I've ever heard! It sounded so thin and buzzy before but as soon as I backed off the gain, turned the master volume up to get the speaker moving, and put the mids way up it REALLY started sounding huge and totally had the classic rock marshall vibe goin. It doesn't have nearly as much gain as I'm used to but I stuck my boss os-2 in front of it set mostly to overdrive(about 9'oclock) with drive at about 12 o'clock tone at 10 o'clock and level at about 11 o'clock and it had what I would consider quot;just enough.quot; You could pull a pinch harmonic for example but it wasn't effortless, and it had just barely enough to chug. It's also really responsive to picking... way more so than I would have expected.

SD-59 humbucker polepiece screws too long?
Hi,
I have a SD-59 pup i wanna install in my custom shop wolfgang. The polepieces screws stick out of the bottom farther than the ears. When i put the pickup in the cavity, the pole piece screws hit the bottom of the cavity first and it makes the pickup teeter totter. Can i cut some length off of the polepiece screws somehow? What could i use?
