sweet color. i want one for my collection above.

Man, that's one sweet collection there Waycool! I like your ashtray on the tele, i have an 09' MIM tele, and iv'e read that the ashtrays bought today, won't fit newer teles, only vintage. I also popped that question into our forum, and got confirmation that they indeed do not fit later models!

I notice a pretty good hiss/hum starting at around 3.5-4 on the clean channel volume knob - one of the reasons I put a lower gain tube in is to lessen this noise - I can get a bit more of clean headroom. It is not unbearable however, and I don't notice it when playing. (I only have it inside practice, so volume stays pretty low).

I also notice another different hum depending on the guitar, when not touching the guitar's (or amps) metal...the Gretsch is much worse then the Strat and Gibson; but all are relative depending on the lights I have on, where I am standing, or the guitar sitting, etc.

You might try plugging it in other rooms in the house.

Unfortunately my wife insisted on dimmers everywhere in the house!

thank you dave. that half of the collection is my fav to play.
one of them i neve did like so well. i went and had it set up
again as a last ditch effert before i retired it for good.
dang thing, ive been playing it nonstop for 3 months now lol.
now that i got my tele ive been playing that for 5 days straight.[/code]

Way cool, Is that flash strat on the left sportin' candy apple red paint with a black pearloid pick guard? Lookin' sharp now! They all are!

Is that a 6120? Very Nice.

nope, thats a tangerine orange with a silverish pickguard,
with matching dot inlays.
thank you for the compliments. when i took that pick
i didnt realize my PRS wasnt in the pic until i started putting the guitars away lol. DOH!

Thanks - it's a 6118t-LTV Anniversary Model...TV Jones Classics, nitro lacquer, Ebony fret board. Kind of grew on me after passing it by a few times in the past. (last time I bought an Am Standard). I tried a Silver Sparkle Jet but didn't dig the color - the sound though - whew, so I went with this beaut instead. Turns out the Japan/Terada build is really high quality, and it/s an '08 so it has the "125th" emblem on it...I like it!



On the Delta Blues 'amp vs hum' issue, I did notice last night the amp is actually pretty darn quiet when unplugged from a guitar - it is the axes/cable that suck in the noise. I swapped out the dimmer in the room to a normal switch so its a bit better, but it is still there to various degrees.
