Hello Bottleheads:
I was a full-fledged Bottlehead addict a few years back and then the stork dropped off a beautiful little girl and my kits started collecting dust. Well, its hard to stay off the Bottlehead wagon, so I'm back and ready to build a couple of new kits to go with the Orcas and Sub combo I just ordered from Clark. I've got a set of Paraglows that I'm sending into Doc for some maintenance. I also have an upgraded Foreplay II built. While I was over at Clark's, he was running the Quickie and he said it was the bomb. Paul at Bottlehead says the same thing.
Here's where it gets interesting. I've got a Foreplay III new in the box (unbuilt). What is going to sound better with my tuned-up Paraglows and Orcas? Foreplay III or Quickie? If the consensus is the Quickie, I'm open to selling my FIII kit to any interested Bottlehead vintage enthusiast (Note: Doc B has okayed this) who can give it a good home. If no one wants it, I'll build it myself even if I go the Quickie route.
Super excited to be back. I'll never forget the thrill of building the original $99 Foreplay, surviving the live voltage tests, and having it transform my already good SS system.
Peace Out,
Stein (aka Mike, but that's kinda boring)
