Wow! That is beautiful.

Slip-on Vans, or the classic lace-ups. Tried really hard to do cowboy boots but couldnt' make it happen.

Bizarre! I just did this same fix myself! I also have a Carter Starter.

My whole thing though started with the tab that the lever is attached to...soft, cheap metal, it always bent back towards me ...

Do you know what year your amp is? What are the numbers on the other transformers? Specifically the numbers that start with 606-xxx? Does it have a pull boost on the volume knob? That will help you fi ...

I'll go with a hand-wired...if only because they're easier to work on.

Not everything hand wired is created equal though. I had a '77 135w UL a couple years back and it sounded good, but not great. ...

Congratulations David! Evans makes some great amps.

On the other hand, if any of you are looking for a heavy amp that's harder on your back, try a Fender Twin. Mr. Green

My Carter Starter does this on the Eb string after lowering. I just lower it once real quick before tuning it @ the headstock, after that it seems to be consistent.

I use a Boss TU-2. I take it out of the sig chain once I'm done using it. I tuned my 6-string guitars for 18 years by ear and never had a problem but I had to buy a tuner when I started steel, just so ...

For me, I've pretty much got the sound I'm chasing. Problem is, it's a Carter Starter into an old Fender Vibrolux. So when I finally upgrade to a better guitar, I'll probably have to change amps! Very Happy

Is this a progessional gig? Sounds like it. My take if that's the case is:

Try to get the bandleader to make an exception for you for any reason you can think of Very Happy

Sounds like the same problem mine had with 3 different strings...a real "pingy" or "piercing" sound that starts a fraction of a second after you pluck the string.

I have a 70's Twin that I like, but unless you get one with JBL's you'd do well to change out the speakers. I use a WEber California and Blue Dog in mine, sounds great with clean headroom for days.

What did you change Chris? Values types or both?

BTW I love Sausalito. My wife and I were just up in Frisco last week and always enjoy making a stop there.
