Downsize me
I’ve been romanticizing showing up to a gig with a Princeton Reverb. A silverface or blackface. I had my 60 watt 1982 Concert 4×10 at 4 on stage at the Troubadour last week. I wonder what’s the point, other than the fuller 4×10 bottom end and pusing more air.
Switchable reverb and trem, the Concert has verb only. I might need more than 12w though, but I’m thinking every club is going to mike it anyway. And if I do decide to downsize, I’d rather go all the way and shed as much weight as possible. I’ve played a ridiculously nice repro called the Lil King by Headstrong Amps in NC. Fender’s now reissuing a ‘65 Princeton Reverb I should try.
This telecaster is still the coolest. It sounds fantastic unplugged. I’m thinking of putting in a Lindy Fralin bridge pickup. My pal Leland of Dan and Leland (on tour right now) and who bought me the guitar in the first place, put Lollars into his tele and is left with a lone Fralin. This is where I come in.
