RE: [Harp-L] SF Princeton

[chicago bluesman <chicagobluesman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This video, grainy as it is, captures a typical night at B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted--this is exactly what I recall for his Sun & Mon night gigs in the late '70's & early '80's.  I bet if you sort through the images you'll be able to see what Walter is using--I think it's a SF Princeton.

Judging from this picture, Big Walter played a white knob Princeton at least some of the time.  It's a 1964 model.  I've heard he played a silver face Princeton as well.

Hmmm.....I saw Walter many times and I recall him playing through a SF Princeton, non-reverb.  I don't know the model year of the amp...but I remember it to be a SF Princeton.  Then he would use a JT-30 and an oddball switchcraft in-line volume control.  I doubt anything he used was modified in any way.
