HaPpY HoLiDaZe to my boyz at Top Gear!

let's see, i've been coming there since i was knee-high to a grasshopper!...we're talking 80's baby....when guitar tune-ups were $25 bucks. or was it $20? :)
and now i'm just knee-high to a nice-size Marshall stack...(on my knees, of course).

always the best service from all aspects: Tim with vintage amps and *anything* electrical...mike w/ the killer guitar set-up...and dan, with his knowledge, cool stories, and expertise in general...it's like you're living on a page of a great novel. unreal. but real.

these guys ROCK....a trio of unexplainable means...it's definitely great being associated with the masters!
xoxoxo

Greetings from the Bay Area Guys.
Many thanks for Keeping my gear Roots for all these years. The 65' Jaguar you put together for me recently is so killing!
Cheers....Siah

hi guys-thanx for the add!
hows life back home?
keep rockin -klaus

Hey Tim,
I think my wife is cheating on me. Her mobile phone rings and she steps outside to answer it or she says, "I'll call you back later". When I ask her who called she gets evasive.

Sometimes she goes out with friends but comes home late, getting dropped off around the corner and walking the rest of the way. I once picked up the extension while she was on the phone and she got very angry.

A buddy of mine plays guitar in a band. He told me that my wife and some guy have been to his gigs. He wanted to borrow my guitar amp.

That's when I got the idea to find out for myself what was really happening. I said "Sure, you can use my amp but I want to hide behind it at the gig and see if she comes into the venue and who she comes in with". He agreed.


Saturday night came and I slipped behind my vintage Marshall JMP MKII 50W half stack to get a good view.
I could feel the heat coming off the back of the amp.

It was at that moment, crouching down behind the amp, that I noticed that one of the tubes was not glowing as bright as the other 3.

Is this something I can fix myself or do I need to take it to Top Gear?

Thanks

For decades now, only one guitar shop has accomodated all my hair-brained customization schemes and odd-ball guitar setups. Vintage to modern to yet-to-be-created, these guys will tackle anything you got. Top Gear is the only shop in town for me. To the Top Gear trio, Dan, Tim, Mike,,, you guys are spot on.

I've played music all over the world, but there is still no one I trust more with my gear!!! Top Gear Rocks!!!

Your shop rocks... I've been going there since I was a little kid. :)

Wow Dan, my lil ol' 1969 Fender bass never realized she could sound soooo good! I keep looking down to see what bass I'm playing....she still feels like my time honored favorite axe, but her tone is all new and extraordinary. Kudos dude, you rock!
Can't wait to get her up to stage volume....and with 8 gigs in the next 23 days I'll have plenty of opportunity to explore all her new sound options.
:)
