Gig went very well and the Gibson performed awesomely :) Not gonna bother changing the pickups (at least not yet :lol: ) as it sounded great. Its become my no.1 now I'm used to it, and the SG has overtaken the Les Paul as my favourite guitar type! I hardly touch my other guitars any more as they just feel clunky in comparison.

Great stuff!

I've gone the other way, and I'm loving my LP more than anything!  :lol:

When you spend that much on a guitar, you'd better love it :lol:

:lol: They finally arrived, opened up the back and realised I needed 4 valves, not 3! So for now I've left v3 alone as I seem to remember the PI (v4 I think) is more important? About to plug in to seee how it sounds.

edit - well they don't sound much different, slightly fuller/middier if anything. Haven't reduced the noise/hum at all though! Might take it to a tech to get looked at as I'm sure it wasn't this noisy when I first got it.
