Members guitardustin Posted February 29, 2012 Members Share Posted February 29, 2012 Alright I got this yesterday but didn't have a ton of time with it, but so far it sounds awesome. It's a '68 Princeton Reverb Dripedge, so cool silver cosmetics with blackface insides supposedly...not all that concerned with the specs but I love this thing so far and it was right at what I was willing to pay. A thought I'd attempt a little demo of it for you guys. Sorry about the crap playing I was just noodling while twisting knobs and playing with pedals and stuff. This is also the first time I've recorded since I bought a little recording setup too so feel free to critique. I'm not sure why but I feel like my mic placement is off? Well tell me whatchu think eh? Setup was Audix i5 > Focusrite Scarlett > Garageband Then Tele > Amp11 > AM Ardx20 > Princeton Tele_Princeton Clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitardustin Posted February 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 29, 2012 Nice pair of vintage Fenders you have there. :phil: Thanks Phil! I've always wanted one but every time I start the search I pretty much give up and decide it's not worth the money or time, but when you suggested it in another thread last week I started looking again and found this bad boy. In amazing condition too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 9520575 Posted February 29, 2012 Members Share Posted February 29, 2012 Just out of curiosity, how much are they asking for it? damn, its gone now.

Members guitardustin Posted February 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 29, 2012 Seems like everybody is getting rid of their twins in the LA area...that was an option but I don't really need insane amounts of volume. I saw a '64 Silverface twin up on CL for like $750 yesterday...craziness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 9520575 Posted February 29, 2012 Members Share Posted February 29, 2012 Where? Bills? Craigslist. Bill's prices are all over the place some times. I didn't see any princetons there, two weeks ago. Although, he has two vintage JMC800, they look very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BAXANDALL Posted February 29, 2012 Members Share Posted February 29, 2012 Thanks man, I've wanted one since I started playing guitar pretty much A better pic with his black brother Bigot. Just kidding. The clip sounds really nice. For being built only 3 years after mine it really doesn't sound like it. I don't think that's just the reverb either. Great tones though. Thanks for sharing and have fun with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitardustin Posted February 29, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 29, 2012 Hey thanks man. From what I understand, '68 was the first year of Silverface cosmetics and the circuit board is nearly identical so it shouldn't sound a whole lot different. It doesn't have an original speaker though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, '68 was the first year of Silverface cosmetics and the circuit board is nearly identical so it shouldn't sound a whole lot different. It doesn't have an original speaker though very similar but not identical. from what i've read there were some changes to most of the amps in '68. dual biasing scheme, supressor caps on the output tubes and reverb return, gain structure change in the phase inverter. but i've also read that some of those changes were only in the bigger amps. regardless..... give me your amp please and thank you.
