Wickerman, I have heard of really good results, similar to what you describe you are looking for, by using JJs. A friend of mine on Carvin's and Keith Miller's board uses a BelAir and he loved the difference they made in it. He's primarily a blues player. Terry Hartley. If you want, I'll get you a link to him. You should hear his sound clips... He's got great tone and plays some good stuff! Boggs
