  1. Wouldn't the truss rod take care of that?

    You'd hope so, but why chance it? You never know how much it will move, and it's always better to be on the safe side...

    Alternately, wouldn't I be able to just level them after the back is carved?

    Again you'd hope so, but that's extra work, and I try to level frets as little as possible to keep as much height as possible.

    You'd just be saving yourself extra work/time/headaches if you waited.

    my .02 :D

  2. The amp has a master volume on it, so I can still push the tubes without it getting loud.

    But my question still stands, can the half-stack get quiet enough?

    Sorry, but no.

    The master volume control on amps is a volume placed right before the power tubes. When you turn it down the power tubes are no longer being pushed into overdrive and you only have preamp tube "distortion". The poweramp tube "overdrive" is where the creamy goodness comes from. Preamp distortion is always "harder" and not as smooth as poweramp distortion. But some people hate the sound of poweramp tubes being pushed, so you'll have to decide for yourself.

  3. The reason I do it the way I do is this,

    First I slot because you have a nice square edge to work with. Than a glue it to the neck, because you still have a nice flat top to clamp to. Than I rout and install any binding/purfling because you still have a nice flat top to sit against the router table and keep things square. Only then do I radius. Plus it's easier to radius at this point because the board is thinner (profiled) and you have less area to sand.

    But like I said, I use preslotted boards now.

  4. If it sounds anything like the bandit than it's poopy. :D

    I'd suggest spending your money elsewhere. I've never liked the tone of the solid state peaveys. Really the classic series are the only peavey amps I like.

    If your looking to play in your church service you probably want a low wattage tube amp that can get great overdrive tone at low volumes (because we all know church sound guys are more worried about volume than actually getting a good mix for god knows what reason). The new Vox AC4TV is a low watt single channel tube amp that is coming out in a few months and from what I hear they sound killer, and at $250 for the combo, $199 for the head how can you resist? I'm going to buy one and run it cranked with an A/B switcher to swap between it and my Orange. :D

  5. I've heard nothing but good things about the box of rock. I actually went to a concert a few nights ago and the guitarist was using a BOR into a divided by 13 head and his tone was amazing.
