        No worries, on _that_ score.  I have no business buying amps
in my current financial situation :P

        Good fun, no doubt, but probably bad for the building I live in ...
        I'm already pushing to low gain tolerances of my tranny bass
amp to keep quiet enough for peaceful co-existence with my neighbours ;)

Cheers,
Carl
