I would absolutely love to play one of those amps. Anybody in the Miami /
Palm Beach vicinity? I got what I think is a good amp. Actually several
amps.
When I started reading this post - and I read 4x10's (50W) I couldn't
help myself.
I just had to go turn on my old 68 blackfaced super reverb and do a little
bit of jammin. I know. It's not a real tweed circuit, and it's not 50W -
maybe 35 on a good day. But it's 4x10's and is a real nice amp. And I just
had a real nice session. All by myself.
I know the neighbors got the concert!
And then came back and sit here typing.
Thanks for the spur in my saddle. I needed that!
Still would like to play with one of Brian's creations.
PEACE
Scott
Believe in Magic!
