    Thanks for the reply 1bassleft,
    I’ve had a chat with a older friend who plays quite a bit with electronics. He has assured me that (as you correctly said) the 50Hz to 60Hz change will be no issue at all.
    For the supply voltage, he agreed that an inverter would be the easiest, but was unsure what VA rating would be appropriate (he didnt even want to hazard a guess – i understood his reasons, unknown load).
    Any ideas for ways of figuring out a max current draw of the amp?
    Obviously, an inverter rated slightly above the current draw (plus 15%?)would be better so as to keep the weight and size down.

    I’m guessing this senario is relatively common. What do guitarists do when touring with their favorite vintage amp? Some one must have had this issue! Still alittle scared to rush out and buy an inverter for a few hundred bucks (hopefully!) only to find its not going to do the job.
    Once again thanks for your ongoing help.

    A semi useless pic of my current guitars.. Cant really see much, but is the only group pic i have at the moment. Sorry.

    Front to back:

    PRS CU22
    Maton Mastersound Custom (MS2000)
    Ibanez RG470L
    Maton EBG808CL with custom Maton AP5mic P\U
    Maton Tommy Emmanual 1996 – Custom (TE)
    Old Crappy Fender BBQ acoustic guitar..

    Taken awhile to aquire some of these solely due to my unfortunate mental condition (read – lefthandedness). Also makes it harder to part with any of them. A small collection compared to some i’ve seen on this thread, but i love em all the same.

    (hope the pic posts!.. never done this before)

    Thanks for the quick reply 1bassleft.
    Just got an email from a mate who tells me PRS stopped making lefties in Feb 04. My build card says Jul-07-04 so this cant be right. With any luck the whole “no more lefties” thing is just a rumour as this is by far the nicest playng guitar ive come across. It always seems cruel to deny players quality instruments just because of their “left-handedness”. Not a bass player myself but i assume you have similar problems when wanting to audition basses.
    ahhh well.. i guess i should just be glad i bumped into mine. Happy days ahead!
