Mesa tubes for Mesa rigs
The tubes are great and I needed 12 for my 1990 Mesa Boogie Quad preamp and 295 poweramp. Quad takes 8 and 295 takes 4.
Shipping to Denmark went fine though import tax was added.
Inserted all lights up and the first test on the 4 modes of 2 channels sounded just as great as the replaced 12ax7 but I know when I changed them.
Second test with a different guitar seems to be power tubes starting to loose value as the volume got really lost. 10 is like 2-3.
The power tubes are mostly '90s original.

The name says it all
A tech from Fender in Denmark came around and I was recommended to come by with my partscaster with an EC signature neck.
The price was for a new set of strings only and he recommended the super Bullets as they are made to fit vintage style tremolo bridge and keep better tunning.
They hold up and sound good while tremolo use does keep tunning better.
However to keep this a honest review I did experience normal 10-46 installed a few years back when I had some service done. Instead of the new supplied super Bullets used it was regular strings.
It made the setup the very same and tremolo tunning the same up or down, crazy or soft.
Now the body and bridge is old Schecter dating back to 1977. The tremolo block is brass. Now back then they made high quality Fender parts and thereby may be the difference that on my partscaster Blackie it does not matter what brand of strings I use.
On a regular Fender stratocaster with vintage tremolo they will probably matter a bit more for what super Bullets are designed for.
Still I have only use super Bullets since that tech day which was I think more than 20 years ago.
