First off, let me just state for the record that I don't think that caps affect tone that much. I do think that upgrading from the factory brown chicklets may improve tone by a bit. Now with that out of the way, I present my Mullard Tropical Fish caps that came yesterday:

According to the seller, they're new old stock. Any experts out there that can tell me if these are genuine NOS, or just hand painted replicas? They were pretty inexpensive, about as much as a pair of Orange Drops, so even if they're not vintage, I won't feel too bad. I plan on putting them in my HSB Agile AL2000, along with some different pickups (I've not yet determined which ones yet). Hopefully they'll play well together, but if they don't, I have other options in my capacitor trunk.
Go ahead...ogle my beautiful capacitors. Just don't let the wife catch you!
