Mods/tweaks were mentioned. Whenever I buy an SLO, removing the bright cap across the lugs of the gain pot on the lead channel is the first thing I do. This is all that the Haynes mod does. Once the chassis is pulled, it's litteraly a 10 second job with a soldering iron.

I've bought and sold probably 20 SLOs over the years; my first one in '99. I'd fall in love with it, then fall out of love for whatever reason and flip it. A little time would go by and then rinse and repeat. They do their own thing, that's for sure.

For a few more bucks you can swing a used SLO-30/HR-25; maybe even a HR50+ if you dig deep enough.

You owe me one cup of coffee and two paper towel strips. That was good.

'68 Silverface Bassman with no tubes at a local garage sale for $20 back in '78. My friend's dad put all new RCA's in it for another $20.

<----Faber locking is what I have on my avatar. No complaints. However, the best I've ever used was Steve Rowan era Pigtail. I did have the Hipshot stuff on a Standard not too long ago; it sounded good.

Kirk's folks were a big white dude and a small Filipino gal. No Latino blood in him. Still, as a little Filipino grandma, I bet he can cook a mean chicken adobo.

'86? This is pre-Canyon Road. You buy it at Ken Warmoth's house?

I still haven't gotten off my ass yet and picked up any effects units for my boat anchor...

Yeah, yours is a Seattle. I think Mike moved back here to the PNW around '94. *Edit: 2018 is the last year of any Soldano product being made in Seattle. The Depth knob does for the low end what the Presence knob does for the high end. It's more noticeable at mid to lower volume levels. Not so...

I've gone thru that exact scenario more than once. I will miss this one because of the depth knob, which really adds to the richness at lower settings. But I'm keeping a couple older Hollywood-mades that'll scratch this itch.

I've decided to sell my mint 2013 Seattle SLO. It was built using the Depth knob chassis, which was an upcharge back then and not too common. It comes with the manual, blank warranty card, and footswitch. I'm in Centralia, WA and have it listed locally on CL for $3900, firm, and no trades. If...
