They sound huge! (and thats just looking at them)

Eden.

Congrats, Gil.

You have good friends to do such a great packing job.

I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the sound.

We will probably be able to hear the amp from here if we listen closely!

Somewhere there's a guitarist quaking in fear.....

Congrats, Gil. Now you should be able to be heard all over Israel!

Thanks guys,
The 110-220 wiring job was done and it looks like everything went fine with the conversion (the amp turns on, the light turns with the fan, etc...)
When I put it out of standby mode there is a REALLY loud hum, REALLY REALLY loud even when the volume is down.
We looked some more and it seems that the left power tube (when looking from behind) is dead
I don't know if that is the cause for the hum but I guess it's not a good sign...

I am going to take it next week to a tech a few friends recommended on and see what he has to say, I guess I'll need to buy a tubes set now

I am taking comfort in the fact that it actually arrived...

Hi Gil! TITHADESH!!! (congratulations for the new buy in Hebrew)
i Hope everything will went fine with the tubes.
and i hope you'll invite me to here it soon!!
I'm jealous at you.
(but no way i would carry such a monster around..)

I'm just being picky. We all knew what you meant!

Never.................we can take anything you can dish out. A loud, well played RICKENBACKER bass is great.

Congrats Gill! I thought my 200 Marshall Tube watt's where much for the living room but apparantly one needs louder these days.
