Will do buddy!

Got me some speaker cable, NO BUZZING OR ANYTHING. Thank christ, i could finally turn it up a bit and PLAY it for a decent amount of time.

AND A LIGHT, ratshack didn't have the EXACT light [T-47] but i got something close, but then 'aquired' one at guitar center when i stopped by later

HOTCAKE SOUNDS WAY FUCKING BETTER! As does the strat, i actually LIKE the bridge pickup for once, loving what this amp is doing to all of my gear

The local GC also had a '68 Bassman 2x12 cab in decent condition for $288. I'm going to try and flip the bugera 4x12 i just bought and sell the carbon copy and not have any money out of pocket. I would totally go for 2 15s :twisted:

like so:

Jumping the 2 channels adds more bass and a tad more volume

yeah, don't use an instrument cable as a speaker cable. it's all about capacitance and resistance. :D

I JUST thought about the process of moving the huge cab DOWNSTAIRS and setting everything up down here where the only computer is. Doesn't sound too appealing.
Hopefully, if i sell that cab i'll bring it down/do an demo if i get that bassman cab
