Ahh good to hear!
Tube amps are definitely rough to fix especially considering they can kill you if you aren't properly grounded while dealing with the internals. I never had the courage to mess with my Marshall JCM 800 back in the day when it was messed up. Turns out one of the power tubes went bad and it lost its distortion.
I can't attest for sure whether or not lightsabers are sexy, I just go by what my wife tells me and what the majority of my girlfriends over the years always told me. There was something about seeing me on stage rocking out with that guitar (or bass, which i'm better at actually) that made them...crazy. Now that has far more to do with the guitar itself than it does me haha! I've learned that the opinion seems to hold up reasonably well that any guy, even if they aren't exactly the best looking or in the best shape, seems to become exponentially more attractive to females when they rock an instrument in a band. Not in a school/marching band mind you, that seems to have the opposite effect! (and it shouldnt! all music is awesome yet this is just what girls have told me). My advice to any young man/teenager has always been and always will be: learn how to play guitar/bass/drums or sing in a band. Then sit back and watch the girls tackle you like those old "axe" body spray commercials.
Now that i'm 35 and too bogged down with wife and kids to be touring around with a band, i'm sure my wife is having a bit of the ole' "buyer's remorse" hahaha.
Though she still loves it when I play the guitar and sing for her. Thankfully she's also as big of a star wars fan as I am so she's excited for my sabers to arrive and she plans on getting one for herself and one of my daughters as well.
I'm selling a Hot Rod Deville and a set of tubes cost $120, plus the guy who changes it and biases the amp charges $35 dismantling fee and then $75 to change tubes. Its crazy how much they charge. I just play at home, so I have smaller tube amps that are cathode based so changing tubes are not an issue since I don't have to bias them.
I started on the Saxophone in 7th grade. When I got into high school, I was absolutely disgruntled with the band since first chair sax guy was a huge pain in the bum. I just quit and picked up the guitar. Instant change of personality lol. Met some awesome people and met some awesome chicks thanks to the magnificent instrument, but I prefer to play solo and make my own tracks. But times have changed since mostly everybody plays the guitar now to some extent lol.
My ex didn't like Star Wars, so that wasn't too good. That relationship didn't last lol.
MY ideal girl has to stand everything Star Wars and my guitar playing!
