Yes Gary, Jeff sure seemed nice in our personal conversations to me too.

When I first got my Superlead, I rang him up to ask, if I got stuck on anything in trying to make it 100%, if he would look it over for me and see if anything stood out to him as being "off " and needing attention. He said sure, bring it by if I need to. 2 years later after more poring over amps, and learning from our clan here, I feel pretty confident in getting my Used heads into proper spec to be in good health. Since I am not counting on these amps for making a living, or for recording or perfection of tone etc, I can be take my time and be patient as I use the conditions they are in to teach me so many good lessons about amp diagnosing and fixing. Oh yeah, and I strive for as close to factory neat and tidy wiring, soldering etc instead of half assed messes whenever I remove and replace any parts of my amps.

Cool story. And that's a nice journey to take with the amps.

Wouldn't mind checking out one of his East amps. Seems he has some lower-wattage stuff now that won't blowtorch the entire band.

G. The other cool part of the journey is having been in the process of adding to my knowledge, I did not hesitate to snap up a non working David Eden Bass head from a local seller. I know World Tour amps are top notch pieces, and for $35 how could I argue on picking it up to bring back to life for nothing more than a little schematic and actual amp study time, visual look sees, tests, some new bits n pieces and rechecks to see if it is all back to spec. To resurrect it will be quite a low cost donor to learn and practice many valuable diagnosis/repair procedures.
