Yooper

Dibs on your current 525 when you get your new one.

Yes. Stock Schaller pickups.

I hear echoes of "Four on Six" already.

I was lucky to play Rhoads Scholar's American Eagle. Beautiful sound, even unplugged. I miss him.

A stunning beauty. Congrats on that sweet Kalamazoo masterpiece.

My dream.

I've heard that about the hemp speaker. Thanks for the comparison notes. A Princeton is next on my list.

Daniel, that's a nice catchy little twangy "Surf-Funk meets Dire Straits" vibe. Thanks. I keep telling myself I don't need a Princeton because I have a 5f1, 5e3, Champ II, and DR. But it's the missing link. They all like my Klone, Timmy and Kalamazoo.

Curious how the sound of a Princeton 12" compares to a Deluxe Reverb.

Good choice. I have a Weber 12A125 in my 5E3. My '73 Silverface DR has a '67 Jensen C12P.

Not to mention they're intelligent and have very good taste in men. Yooper musicians are a special prize.

No. Just a Yooper in exile, married to a nice troll from Ann Arbor. My bumper sticker says, "My heart is in da UP, but my ass is stuck here".

The people we play for are serious music fans. Several bands will be playing there as well, so a lot of musicians will be there and even a club owner or two. Since our lead singer left, we had to drop the country tunes.

Sadly its not up in da UP. It's by the Muskegon River at a large private party. The band is called Karmic Haze. We play a bit of blues, classic rock, Grateful Dead, Coltrane and Sun Ra, to give you an idea of how far into group improv we go.

I had one of those of those handy little guys too. I replaced it with an '83 Champ II. That little monster handled some sessions so well I was asked to turn down. I like my Mustang III v. 2 for the array of sounds, and for a back up. For recording I like my Silverface DR and 5E3. I'm using the 5E3 with my H-535 for an upcoming gig since I used it for all the practice sessions. A sweet combo for classic rock mixed with some fusion with fun feedback.
