i bought it while i was gigging full time on the road...
1981, 60 watts, no reverb, it has the EQ, cream tolex, the reason i've kept it all these years, is because it's become part of my sound... the one in my head anyway....
it's never seen a repair person before....
it took a hard fall on it's face, in 1984, from the top of a full stack, to the drum riser..
broke off 3 of the sliders...
and never missed a beat.
here we are, may 2007, and it's still kicking ***.
but i reckon i should have it serviced, just because it's 26 years old!!
LOL
when i spoke with Mike B a while back, he told me to do these things when servicing, as a minimum:
on boogie tune-up:30 mil caps, 2 big filter caps ok
red epoxy-good
white vinyl w/rivets- replace
way good notes i took, eh?!
anyway, any suggestions on what i should have replaced and/or looked at, is very much appreciated!!
