Looking for a warm, fat sound

[Cunamara]

Back when I was in college there was a band that played in town occasionally called Fatt City, whose slogan was "thin may be in, but Fatt is where it's at."

Man, that was frickety frackety rackum sackum years ago...

To me warm and fat implies accentuated mids and an amp on the edge of compression/sustain. To my sense of the terms, an L5 and Twin Reverb is usually a bit more on scooped and bright end. To me the epitome of warm and fat is a 175 through a tweed amp or Princeton Reverb, or maybe an Ampeg.

John.. clearly.. I should get to define 'fat and warm' based on my sterling ear, years of experience, and good looks.

As for a 175 being choked off by muddy amps struggling to find an extra hertz or two.. I know there are many who do but it's like eating raw oysters. I just don't get it.

I'm starting to get tired of fat and warm. I'm working on getting my guitar to squeak like a weasel.

This is a jazz forum. Everyone knows weasels go pop.
