I don't know the rules, but several builds I've done use linear pots and don't have bad tapers.

Volume pot on a Jazzmaster. That's what is stock, at least. Don't know if it's more appropriate. I have 2 audio pots in my project, and I prefer it.

Why? What's up with it?

Nothing's wrong with it, it's a lovely cab, but I could have gotten alot more for my money. But still, a TT on top of a PPC112 is a lovely sight even if I do say so myself.

Yeah, they are pretty as fuck. They look balls out when people stack two 1x12"s with a TT.

They are expensive though, you could have got a 2x12" it's true for that much. Don't worry though, just enjoy it!

Yeah when I bought the TT it was stacked on top of two PPC112s I got to play a Baja tele though the setup, I fell in love with both, still not got that tele though.

And all this talk makes me feel like some midday RAWK. *Powers on TT*.

-----------------------
Bottom line - $2270

I would include my Digitech Vocalist Live 4 (for which I only paid $125 anyway), but that's more of a vocal processor innit? I suppose I use it for the tuner and chorus/reverb effects for guitar also. Also figure a good deal of my money is in keyboards now ($300 in a microkorg, $650 in a Yamaha MO6, $650 in a Casio upright digital piano)

Edit - Guh. Nevermind. Don't like having this posted. Sorry.

Otherway round.

B = linear
A = Audio

C = reverse Audio incidentally.

Right, not a hard mod, just annoying on something with PCB mounted pots. We use As and Bs all the time, I think on every pedal.

I cant work this out i'd be here all night, i have £4,000 in guitars not including upgrades in pickups and machine heads. I've recently sold about 5 at that.
£1100 worth in Amps and about £700 worth in FX.

This thread has actually made me feel better about myself, because some of you have ridiculous amounts invested in gear. So will I, probably, in ten years time. Ye's all better still be here, and have a similar growth in how much gear you have, so's I can feel better then too.

Not half as bad as some. But again, two or three new acquisitions will be made within the next couple of weeks so that's bound to change although my Tele-project is likely to be 2-3months away as it needs to be painted, ect. (they said it takes 8-9weeks + shipping).
