I just had to show someone!

[Cheech]

hey guys, even though I'm sure most of you won't be interested, I had to share my happiness. I just picked up my dream amp. A 1962 pre CBS Fender brownface Princeton amp.

I'm very excited to get it!!...


Anyway, my gf, and most of my friends really don't understand how hard it is to find this amp in this condition, so I thought of sharing it with you guys... even though it might be the least bit interesting for you...

:dance: WOHOO!! for you Cheech!! Can't wait for it to arrive!! :clap:

Congrats! I always appreciate it when someone else gets something cool--even if I don't always 'get' why it's cool. Happiness shouldn't require explanations.

Very nice, my dad would love that! Looks like it's in absolutely mint condition, congrats

Very COOL Cheech!!

I love the old amps. I sold an old Mesa a few years ago to buy knifemaking equipment. I'll probably replace it along with a nice Flying V at some point

 

[Cheech]

Thanks guys... I was lucky enough to find out that the seller lives 15 minutes from my house, so no shipping costs...

Knife, I always wanted a mesa, but they are quite pricey. I'm gonna go pick it up tomorrow... Can't wait to plug her in ..

Old is good? But that thing looks great!

Ya!! I used to live near the East Coast Music mall in CT. I bought mine from Eddie Roman and paid through the nose for it. It was previously owned by Duran Duran or whoever produced their albums. I've never heard another amp that size that sounded that good.

Neat. What kind of guitar do you own? I'm assuming it's for a guitar.

I love Mesas. Awesome sounding amps. And they're so versatile too. that's one of the reasons I'm not too crazy about Marshals. that Marshal sound, for me, can get a little overwhelming. . .


I own a 1997 Fender Strat. US made. I love it. I changed the stock pickups and replaced them with Active EMG pickups. (Same ones Gilmour (pink floyd) uses. I love the sound, but I'm debating whether or not I'll one day change them and get some texas specials, to get that dirty warm blusish SRV kinda sound..
