I'm looking to purchase a new Alto Sax for my niece, as her current sax has been rendered unusable. She's in the Highschool band, and will most likely use this instrument for the remainder of H.S. (3 more years). My budget is under $500. So, who makes a decent sax in this price range? All comments are welcome. Thanks.

Fender Blues Jr. Relic 1X12 Combo
Anyone seen these yet? Here is one on e-bay from : localhost/cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...323097367amp;rd=1I can't find them on the Fender web site. I saw a slew of them at GC Dallas this weekend- a 1x12 all tube combo with a Jensen speaker. I didn't get to crank it but they sounded nice at lower levels. They look like they have been through a war (very relic'd - grill cloth all ripped, etc...) but $400 (new at GC) for an all tube Fender isn't bad in my book. I am going to go back and try it with a Keelley Tube Screamer and see what happens!!

C5b amp; 59n in LP
The 490R amp; 498T pups in my LP Studio have gone microphonic amp; squeal like crazy whenever I'm within 10 feet of my amp. I had a bar gig this weekend amp; it was a chore to get around the problem. Very embarrasing. I guess I could have them potted, but why bother when there's Duncans out there! Plus I've never been able to get controlled feedback with the Gibby pups in there now as they are fried. Duncans = controlled feedback!!!!

New emgs on my Hamer....observation.....
i swapped today the pickups of my hamer chapparal to my favorite emg85/sa/sa set i bought from ebay (for 76$!!!!) and they were made in july 1989. Now i have two other emg85, one that is made in 93 and one in 2004.............i always found that the one made in 2004 had less output and had a slightly different EQ from the 93 made one. So i supposed emg at some time changed something on the pickup or the preamp itself on later years. Well after installing the 89 one i am sure newer emgs ARE actually different. The 89 made one and the 93 do sound the same but the 2004 has the differences i mentioned before..................So i can say i surely prefer the older ones...........of course i have no way of knowing when and what they changed. One more thing.........the old pickups on the hamer were 2 singles with the writting HS3 neck/mid (those are Dimarzios right????nice pickups i liked them) and on the bridge position the pickup turned out to be a Jackson J-90C humbucker...............do you know anything about this pickup????

need some suggestions on JCM 800 mods
OK i for years have been wanting a JCM 800, since i was teen in the 80's. In fact i used to go to a Toronto store every Saturday and dream about an 800 and a 4x12 cab.. When i got older Marshall had changed to 900 series and i ended up buying other companies amps. I hear the 800's can be extremely great sounding when set up right.

wiring question
I getting ready to wire up my guitar. It has an H/H set up with a 3 way blade switch, and two knobs. I would like it to have an individual volume for each humbucker and no tone control. How would I go about that? Thanks
