I had planned on getting an Alnico 2 set, 7.7 neck, 8.7 bridge, but lately I have decided I want Alnico 5 in the bridge pickup...Will it be difficult to EQ this combo together??

Working on beat up super strat
I have a sickness with guitars that look beat up... Love the Steve Vai green meanie and the EVH strats of the 70's and 80's..... Going thru my closet i found a guitar i rarely use but love the sound of it big time! The neck is god awful and the thing will not stay in tune.... It was just a bunch of cheap replacement parts i bought years ago at local guitar stores.... Funny how back in the late 80's and early 90's every guitar store stocked necks and bodies for custom guitars and now no one does.. There is 2 stores in Toronto that i know carry a few WD or Mighty Mite necks and bodies... But there used to be a store that carried lots of Warmoth necks and bodies in stock! And it was cheaper to buy them at the store then order direct from Warmoth....

~20-watt 1x12 combo suggestions?
I'm in the market for an amp (under $900 used) and have been looking for something that approximates the clean sound of a Marshall Major (the sound i have in mind), without being ridiculously overpowered. To try to put the tone in words: it's this thick, warm, uncolored sound with a nice low end. Not really a Fender clean.

they made me an offer i couldnt refuse...NEW GUITAR!
so i was planning on buying a an ovation celebrity (import) 12string from samash for $500 around the start of june, as a kind of end-of-schoolyear gift to myself. well things rarely go according to plan. i went to sam ash today to play it some more, and it got sold. damn. so i went to guitar center (a necessary evil here) and it turns out they have the ovation balladeer (USA) 12 string, and for $800. if i was gonna get the same thing from sam ash, it would be $850. those were the tag prices at both places. now GC also includes the case! which is a pretty good deal, cause that means theyre selling the guitar for more like $725 on its own. well, i talked em down to $725....thats with the case! so pretty much i got $75 off and a free case (theyre usually like $70-80 i think). sam ash doesnt include the case with theirs either. so not only did i get the next series up for not much more money, but i got it 2 months ahead of time too. and goddamn does it sound beautiful. plays real well too, and no flaws or anything whatsoever.

Hughes amp; Kettner Triamp Mk. I vs. Mk. II
Other than reverb or lack thereof, what are the primary differences between the Triamp Mk. I and Mk. II? I've got an opportunity to score an EL-34 Mk. I at a really great price, but I was wondering if they have any drawbacks? It seems to be a bit muddy at lower volumes, but other than that I like it a lot so far. I just want to be sure that I really want this amp before I commit to buying it.
