Well... I had just about given up hope of finding a version #1 Mazerati but I happened to check out the bay today and there it was; a 2000 black and gold (Serial #K8114), just like Therecordfable's (mine has white chicken knobs they sound and look much better ). I am so freaken charged up It's going to be a long week. Going to run it through my Z open back with two blues and try it with my Tone Master closed back with Cel.G12T-75s'. Me thinks I feel a sick day coming on if it shows up before work on Friday ;D I'll post when she comes in and I get a chance to open her up! ;D ;D ;D

Dude that is AWESOME!!! I can't wait to see it. I knew the white knobs would sound better. I run mine through a Z best cab it's stupid good. I'm interested to hear what it sounds like through the open back. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, she arrived yesterday around six and wouldn't you know I had to work late! I could have put the "muzzle" on her and ran it at bedroom level but I wanted to hear her opened up for the first time. Ran it thru my Z=2/12 open back with blues. Very nice but not crazy about the low end (loose). Overall she is nice but definitely NOT as loud as I thought it would be. Clean until around 1100 then break up begins. This continues until around 2:00 or 3:00 at which point it just continues to saturate! Love it dimmed! I think she may need a new set of tubes as I do not think it is much louder than the Ghia I owned. I am going to install some Cel G12T-75's into my closed back 2/12 Fender Tone Master cab this weekend so we'll see how she does then. I'm not much of an effects guy (2 pedals) but she took my Ibanez delay and Satch "crome-boy" wah-wah quite nicely. Overall I am pleased and am excited to get her tweaked. Any thoughts on tube replacements would be appreciated. I definitely want maximum gain and more volume. I understand rectifier tube can make a difference in the response of the amp so if someone can comment on that it would help me out. Thanks and I'll update after I make some tube and speaker changes.

Try running two 12ax7s it would give ya more raunch. I use a Z-Best closed back cab and it's a great combo. I use a Full Drive 2 with MOSFET for some added stank. The low end with the Z-Best is very articulate, you'll like using a closed back for sure. Mine breaks up earlier around 9 perhaps you need new EL84s. I've never played a Ghia but I can say my Mazerati is plenty LOUD. Let's get a look at her.

Hey... actually that's turttleheadblues selling his V1 (good price). I have a little tweaking to do and I want to try it with a few different cabs and speakers. Right now it's staying put until I spend some quality time with it! Oh yea.... I just figuered out that she will sound much better with BLACK CHICKENHEAD KNOBS !!!
