Spider IV still great!

I've had my 75 for about 6 years now, and usually these days I just go for manual settings, with no FX.  My main guitar is a 72 Telecaster (I bought new in 72!)  I replaced the neck pickup on it several years ago with an alnico one, as the original's volume had dropped off.  In the last year, the bridge pickup has lost its volume, too.

So last night I replaced both pickups, and the selector switch, pots and jack with new ones from GFS.  Got it all set up, adjusted, with new strings, and plugged into my amp.  The tone selector had gone over to the '70s songs' patches, and as I switched between some of them and tried the guitar out (Aqualung, Barracuda, Comfortably Numb), I was blown away by how good everything sounded!  And those presets really did have the tones of the original songs, too.

I'm sure the new Spider Vs have even better sound, but for the time being, my IV more than suits my needs.
