Yes, I bought this Eclipse from Joe G a little over a month ago. I also have a '94 that has a slightly slimmer neck profile, which I prefer. Believe or not, the neck on this '95 has a slightly chunky profile to it. The tone cap Joe had in it was actually a .01, which doesn't cut much of the...
I just picked up a '94 that had a Jazz in the neck and JB in the bridge. Not really my thing, so I installed a set of Tom Shot Undercover Mini's. These are A4 vintage hots. It sounds real good now. I'll know more after Saturday's gig. I also have a set of Fralin Pure PAF's I can try.
I tried the Mullard reissues and didn't like them at all. They seem to be very compressed,lack note definition and seemed to have less output than the JJ's. I've also tried the Electro Harmonics El84's and SovTek EL84M's and like the JJ's for the new production stuff. I have not tried the TAD's...
I have a couple of NOS RCA 12DW7/7247. If your interested,shoot me an email.
As far as sticking a 6L6GC in place of the 7027,I wouldn't. I believe the Ampeg V2 put about 600 volts on the plates. Most 6L6's would be short lived but JJ's may be able to take it.
