Can you guys recommend me some decent pro setup somewhere in greater cape town?
Electric setup, speak to Gareth Travis, who works out of Marshall CT. Vintage Vibe on this forum.
ON that note, while we at it... What about Tubes? where can I get a nicely priced set of 12ax7's? its about time i think, my amp is still running its stock tubes after quite some time now, they probably a little worn out...
Unless you are running very high gain (or some amp design that pushes a particular valve hard - like the Fender reverb driver), decent pre valves can last decades. It's pretty standard practice to only replace them when they fail. Phase inverters and power valves take the brunt.
