im not gonna keep going on and on because i gotta go pick up my amp and im dying to play it!!!! thanks guys and altho it may take me a while to pay you back you can expect the first payment on the first of june.
thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. jason |

| When fred called in to say goodbye in the lobby on the Sunday morning at the last Tour I was sitting quietly (obviously) eating breakfast.
fred came through the doors, screamed and raced the length of the lobby hurdling a sofa and two tables on the way. I'm not sure that there weren't 2 innocent civilians sitting eating breakfast when fred hurdled between them.
This was fred on his best behaviour. |

Jason, By S/N, it's from the early 80's, and it was fresh out of the mothership when we got it. They do nice work up there don't they? It's got a few character marks, but overall I thought it was very nice.
Don't thank me, All I did was hold on to it until you came along. You're most certainly welcome!! |

Congrats Jason!

i need a bigger tube amp!!!
this thing sings thru my modded valve jr head and custom cab with 2 eminence 12in redcoats,stevie via volume/wah pedal and a bad monkey tube overdrive...im having fun. when you run it clean with first switch in the first position and the rear position it has a sweet clean sound, switch the first switch into the middle position and it has a tele like tone that rivals my highly modded tele. i love it. plays better than a lp but dont kill your back.....cant ya tell im happy with it?? lol jason |

Location: GA USA | That "getting more" PDF is my creation. It's a clean-up of older material I found at the Breadwinner Fanpage. When I got my Deacon, I wanted some info that looked better than the "build your own hot air balloon" instructions I ordered from Boy's Life. |
