Thanks rnolan
I did love the guitar sounds of the 80/90's hair, when emm I actually had long hair too, these days it's more of the slap head variety, (..arrg the pain) but the sound and feel is still in my soul, i love the Ratt, White Lion sound, i even hear Mr Vai used an MP1 on his Passion and Warfare album, so it was a must buy.
Yeah i was thinking of re-tubing anyway at the moment it has Groove tubes GT2075's in both V1 and V2 but i have no idea how long they have been in there or what kind of use/abuse they have been exposed to. As regards the overall condition of the unit, it has typical rack rash as you would expect, however 2 knobs are missing one from the front and one from the rear, so i ordered some new ones from RS Components, it'll probably be getting put in to get a full service anyway, god knows how good the caps will be after this time OR perhaps save a little and get a few mods done, the noise one mainly i'd like to keep the unit as it was no extra tube etc just new jacks and pots. Ohh and it's version one with the old switch on top for line level selection, so might have a few jobs for MJMP later down the line as he seems to be the man to go to for this kinda thing.
