thanks all. its going well so far and the stress of monday/tuesday feels like a life time ago
laura and violet are doing well and should hopefully be home tomorrow or early friday.
Expecting to see threads about what amps you can use at night without waking the bairn etc.
as ever, i have my priorities right - which is why i brought a 50w valve head just a few weeks ago ;) I have managed to get it down to 8w for home use and have it sounding great at lower volumes.
violet will just have to get used to it (ok, aware i may be being a bit naive there)
i do have plans for a mini guitar coming together too :)
