Cool looking amp.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Nice.
Larrivee 00 Acoustic. FAV Strat for electric. Ibanez SDGR5 for bass. Push for Ableton. When not doing that, 3D CAD for tunnels...

It looks so wrong in such a lovely way! I've known I need a Princeton since the day I plugged into a Headstrong copy and time stopped. 8)
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.

Sounds killer with the 360/12 as well, never would have associated so much chime with a Fender

Congrats! Jealous, I have an MPC tweed that is based on this... one day I would definitely like the real thing.

Just beautiful, both in looks and sonic goodness :-)

Bought it off hjelmsk from here, he'd literally just had it built for him a few months ago. Swapped it for my non-tweed Katana :-)
