dale	Re: waddaya think about biasing.......... thanks all. i decided to just set it 5 ma under the max. it doesn't seem to sound any better at max, so i figure take it a bit easier in them 34's and have max tone to boot. what i'd like to know is why i run into so many techs who will literally get mad at you if you even suggest that theres are different points at which an amp can be biased depending on the amp. they'll tell you any lower than the max and tone will suffer, any higher and your amp will go poof ! and they tell you this in no uncertain terms. amazing what money can do to a person's personallity, eh?
