I'm looking at them now and my eyes are seeing shades of grey and black. Hopefully someone with better eyes looking at pics can tell. I can see the differences with mine when I'm holding it and looking at it.:hmm:

Ok. I was rummaging through a bunch of tubes I've been acquiring for the past month and I've put them in boxes. I'm not bragging, but just wanted to show you how tube crazy I was for the past month.

GE and RCA's on the leftmost
Second are the Telefunkens (99% smooth plate)
Sylvanias
Mullards

All 12ax7s.

I'm sure some of you have lots and lots, but here is another tube whore.

All those tubes represents a lot of cash. Just think about it? Why you could own a JTM45 for what Jae has in those tubes.

Maybe I've just been spending waaaaay too much in just gear and equipment. This is actually NOT a good thing believe me. This is impulse buying at it's worst. It's almost like gambling my money away in my case. As for everyone else on this thread they seem to buy tubes and equipment sparingly and with some care. Me? I'm just spending lavishly. NOT a good thing.

About the JTM45? I don't need another amp either. I already have a '67, '72 Superlead. A 1987x Plexi, JMP Master 2204, Fender Twin Reverb and a bunch of other amps.

I'm glad that from now on I'm NOT going to spend any more on gear. No more tubes and gear for the next while. Now if you can see my problem.

It's about time I made a sig for myself, instead of explaining all the time what my gear is!
whew!

Joe, this guy is loaded. You should think about dating him and maybe he would buy you that JTM45?

Actually, to be quite honest I'm not loaded at all. I just spent every last penny on gear. Thanks for the compliment though.
