If you've already got a nice valve amp, then an Ibanez Bass Tubescreamer might work perfectly . I managed to get my hands on one a few months ago - a bugger to track down, I can tell you, but definitely worth the effort. I haven't had a chance to try it through a valve amp, but even through a SS it's perfect for soloing; if you play with the settings it can do some fairly serious dirt as well.

Well, I had my GAS sated for a little while after I finally gave in and bought my Schecter Model T. But you know, that was at least a month ago now...and I have just found out that Epiphone do make a neck-through version of their Thunderbird copy after all...
