| Rookie; replace my own amplifier caps?? It's a piece of cake. If you know + from -, go for it. After 10 years is a good time for cap replacement. Caps don't always go bad, they just get sluggish and the amp loses definition. | |

| Need Blues Rec--burn the house down guitar stuff Albert, "Blues Boy" King, was da man. He was Stevie Ray Vaughn's idol. When you hear Stevie, you also hear Albert. I saw him live many times, when he played the "juke joints"; the kind where they didn't serve no fancy drinks, "Do you wont whisky w... | |
