I bought a speaker from Scumback Speakers last week and when I installed it I started hearing some funky distortion in my amp - that part is here: http://markweinguitarlessons.com/forums/threads/incoming.64275/
Over the weekend the owner Jim offered to let me come up to his shop and he would take a look at the problem for me so I went up this morning and spent nearly 4 hours there...we tried a bunch of combinations of speakers, cabs with my amps head, guitars and he even had the guy there in the shop build me a speaker on the spot to try a configuration that they didn't have in stock....the problem appears to be with my amp so it goes on to my local amp tech next. While I was there Jim (the owner) let me play some great guitars including his 1968 Les Paul Deluxe (that he bought in 1976 and toured with for 9 years), a 1954 goldtop that had been turned into possibly my favorite Les Paul of all time with the original p90s, a compensated wrap around bridge and decently high fret wire and his replica of Eric Claptons "Fool" SG: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=144555
He also has a couple of Orville Les Pauls, one of which I tried and thought was KILLER.
It was a fun day if disappointing in terms of getting my amp running the guys were super cool to me and really spent a lot of time trying to figure out my problem even messing with the cabinet and changing a few preamp tubes out for me. I definitely left the shop a fan
