SpeedRacer	Re: Any one ever build a plexi head? It's not that bad.. what do you want to know? I mean it's tougher than a tweed Champ, but it's really the same as a 5F6-A Bassman with a few tweaks here and there. The key to good results is just using the best parts (esp tubes!) and taking your time to build it right/cleanly. I have a photo of some plexi 'guts' up on my website if you want to see what a typical amp might look like inside. There's another thread going about DIY Marshall-type amps with parts sources suggestions etc.
