I had the combo for a while. It was a fun amp!

I have a few Dr. Z amps, but don't have a Jetta, so i can't help you directly, except to recommend that you look on Z-Talk and The Gear Page. This amp has been discussed a lot on both of those forums. The Z amps that I do have- a Cure, a Nova and a Z Wreck Jr, are awesome.

The Fulltone '69 Pedal has an external Bias control. I turn that down just to where my wah works well with the pedal.

I just received a coupe of sets of Ernie Ball M-Steel Hybrid Slinky Strings (.009-.046) for my Music Man Cutlass. I wanted to hear how it sounded with the strings it came with as kind of a baseline. They sound okay but there's a lot of finger noise. We'll see how they play in.

THIS it the most wonderful time of the year!

I'd contact Lollar and ask, though thier baseplate might have the narrower spacing. I had another vendor make me a P90 like that to but in the bridge position of a '63 Epiphone Olympic due to it requiring a low profile pickup. [/url]

Doesn't the ES-330 have a neck pickup on a special low bracket? If so, you need a pickup with bridge spacing and neck mounting height.

Replace the electrolytics for sure. F&T are good. Yellow Astron coupling caps get leaky. Keep them in the amp if possible and replace them as required. Possibly consider replacing them between the phase inverter and power tubes to prevent issues. I like to replace B+ dropping resistors as well.

They only put the step back into the cutaway on production models recently. My 2001 didn't have it and the 2015s with the Les Paul 100 logo still didn't have it.

It's good to see this info again! Thanks!

Considreing how good my Heritage H-535 is, I'd love to try an H-150.

I use the traditional black and gold LPF color scheme.

My 1980 Hamer Sunburst had a very narrow neck! Narrow string spacing at the bridge as well. I never really got used to it.

I use 9s on almost all of my electric guitars. The exception is my ES-225. 10s drive the hollow body a little harder and intonate a little better on the trapeze bar bridge/tailpiece.

I got a haircut in February 2020. It's getting long-ish.
