Im sorry, i never saw your post. My apologies. Unfortunately. Im on the east coast in NJ. Was there any questions i can answer?

Hi Robert, Thankyou so much for all this information! I'm unsure whether or not the pot is the original or a modification. Thankyou so much for...

Pretty sure they are Imperial high winds. I think the neck is set, and the core is one piece of mahogany with separate walnut top and back.

So it appears that that the neck and rims are 1 piece of Mahogany? Then top and back plates are walnut. Do you know what type of Lollars?

Folks, I have bought various items from Ric. Ric is a straightshooter, very easy to work with and extremely fair pricing on item for sale.

Wow!!!!@!!

Well I did the same thing thanks to Jack! Lol!

Always looking for better ways to tune so thanks for this! So far my best results come from checking the intonation at the 5th, 10th and 12th frets...

This is my only free playing during a concert at a jazz festival...: Box

I haven't heard of that one. I've just finished a couple of hours of practice, looking forward to tomorrow to investigate JS's method! Thanks

pauln, that is the way I check tuning, too. I also use the Johnny Smith method, which starts with the low E fretted at the 10th fret to tune the D,...

Whoa, bro. Tricks? That's my art you're talking about.

I'm not sure I'm super invested in the idea that you do? I guess it's worth noting that "drop 2" describes a process. So if you know what the...

I just don’t see why I need to know x3525x is C6 drop 2. When I can think of it as one of many C6 options. Yes, I did look up what a C6 drop 2...

It is an arranger’s tool, and comping is arranging on the fly.

I love seeing all the responses. Unlike the Miss Universe, there seems to be multiple contestants from many of the countries.

You got that Jack Nicholson look going on in the reflection.

Gorgeous! Love the woods on this one! GLWTS!

You play drop chords. Admit it. Oh nice. These are great. Not sure why I didn’t think of this.

I'd agree with this suggestion. An EVM is very neutral sounding. I have two Force 12's in my Twin since blowing my last JBL up the other day. The...

Hmm, I’m just not sure …

Ah, maybe it was an involuntary facial rictus. Nasty things :-)

I really don’t think so. Smiling and opening my eyes are two things I never do when playing.

this, beautiful!

Hey, Corpse....I dig it!

I've been creating simple 'Dom Half Step Rule 1' licks and getting them instinctively into my ears. Simple Example Below:

I know, played with that maybe 30 years ago, couldn't understand why I was doing it. But it sounds even better using a metal pick. Still got it :-)

Danny, that nut looks terrible!

These funeral bells sound appealing to me as a corpse.

Needs some fresh shellac though..

Man, Mark...that was so beautiful!

The “prepared” aspect added a very nice rhythmic static to the notes. Sounds like a hi hat percolating underneath it all. Very cool.

Thank you for the information and video. I hadn't seen it before and it's cool to see Pasquale playing my guitar. I bought it from a forum member a...

Indeed it is. The old Johnny Cash trick.

Cool one, Jeff! You caught me off-guard with this one.

If you haven’t already, try plugging into the 2nd input. On Fenders you can think of this as the humbucker input. It reduces the signal level hitting...

Everyone's tastes are different, but for me an Emi Legend sounds great in my '69 PR rig, and an EV10 sounds amazing in my '68 Princeton (non-reverb)....

That was my first thought. But the OP's stated quest is for "... a speaker in my Princeton Reverb ('79 maybe?) that is better equipped to handle the...

On reflection, maybe "individuality" might be a more useful descriptor for whatever it is that stands in contrast to "tradition" or "originality" or...

that would be the “preparation.”

Is that a bit of paper tucked into the strings, Jeff?

Thnx sgnosnell. So it might not be the pots but the wiring. Hmm something to think about. In my ears it's quite noticible that tone is being effected...

I was gonna advocate for this one but without the back, which folds awkwardly and starts to creak after a while. Search "gator guitar stool" on...

Nice one, Jeff. Perfectly balanced effect.

I purchased a new ES 345 about 4 months ago. It sounds superb and it's extremely well made. Highly recommended.

That's funny. I didn't even read the OP. Agree with this. The eminence legend is pretty efficient (98.7 db), so if that's not enough for you, then...

Prepared guitar "stream of consciousness play," based off of a theme of two chords, which i come back to a few times. Hope you enjoy:)

I will try it tonight.

May I respectfully suggest the possibility that you might just be needing a more powerful amp?

I had a Jensen C10Q in my PR (which I no longer have), and I liked it. It was definitely louder and cleaner than a stock C10R. I friend of mine has...

Both Jensens, Tornado and Blackbird 40.

I also have the Weber alnico in a Fender Champ 12 that I use with my jazz combo and it sounds great.

At least not for me. Tried it this morning....that didn't go well..lol

Why not?

There's what looks to me like a Celestion TN1230 in my '76 that sounds absolutely fantastic with my archtops - classic jazz tone, sweet at the top,...

BTW, playing with your eyes closed is not a great idea....ha ha.

Thanks you guys.

I would be interested in seeing this in action. It makes some sense, I think, but I’m not 100% sure I see the applications.

I'd guess that's the reason why standard tuning became the most popular Guitar tuning. Easier for playing chords. If it wasn't for the Guitar, we...

That triad is pretty fantastic, isn't it?

I like those sweeps, or 16th note clusters. That's trick I'd like to get down.

The best speaker I have found for my tastes in a Princeton (and indeed many other amps) is the Webers 10A125. The alnico speaker has a certain...

Genius Jamtracks is also for new Mac computers, m1, m2…and for both iOS and android. By far the best app!! Smooth voicings and rhythm is killing.
