Re: [Harp-L] Fender Pro Junior

[One2one2three@xxxxxxx]

Yes, a Brownface Fender Princeton is a mucho better harp amp than the pro 
junior. And, unlike the pro junior, is a solid investment that will only 
appreciate in value...A princeton will cut about as well as a Sonny Jr 4x8 ( I AB'D 
both, I own a Sonny Jr ). But a nice Brownface Princeton will set you back $$$ 
as I've seen them go for over $1000.00....Here's something to keep in mind...I 
also play blue's bass guitar and  ran into a really sweet amp. This thing 
rocks ! It's a Traynor Bass Mate with a 15 inch woofer, 2 EL84's, huge Hammond 
transformer, built like a tank.18-20 watts. You can cut a couple ports in the 
front speaker baffle, or hack a section out of the sealed back panel to air it 
out. If you play any guitar or bass along with harp, this amp will do it all,but 
it really shines for Blue's harp or guitar...They don't come up too often on 
ebay, maybe once or twice a month, but worth the wait because you can snag one 
for $175.00-$250.00...Traynor stuff is as good or better than Fender or 
Gibson, but harp players haven't caught on yet...
                                                                              
                Later,
                                                                              
                      Mike.
