Emptied the gear fund bucket (early Christmas present)

Always wanted one :)

Didn't think the bucket was full enough but a certain bear came to the rescue :thumbup:

That’s just brilliant! He’s a very good bear, that Bear.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Cool!
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

I reckon too :( the next owner could change the valves though and all traces will be gone.

No not too late yet. Played "My baby left me" and "Before you excuse me" though. Hope that is not too much of a sin.

Very nice, love the Tolex.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

What, the one that I had for 5 minutes and returned because of its huge reverb noise floor? And Fender saying there is nothing wrong with it? And all that one has to do is flip the tank over to fix the noise (which I did not know at the time)? And they still manufacture them with the tank in the wrong position these days...

Anyway, I digress. This Princeton has the 12" speaker, is lighter, quiet and looks more awesome. Remember, we buy gear because of the way it looks :lol:

We need a gearfest to compare a few Princetons vs Deluxes as I would not have a clue as how they differ in sound.

But happy with this one so far. Just need the speaker to break in a bit...
