Reb...First off that is a sweet pair of Brownies...I actually prefer the brown Princeton sound to the blackface or the tweed version to be honest...not that the blackface/tweeds sound poorly at all :!: :!: :!: :!: :lol: :lol: :lol: Just something about the brown Princetons grabs my soul. But if you get a Blackface Princeton do put a CTS Alnico ten in it...you will thank me!

A brownie amp is on my list of amps to own before my fingers go south with arthritis!

Thanks y'all... :D
T2,I'm struggling with arthritis daily,it's bad to say the least,the docs can't do anything but deal out drugs....but I'll play as long as I possibly can,when I can no longer play guitar,they might as well put me out of my misery,then Arjay will have to come to Tennessee to get the amps he keeps telling me to leave him in my will. :mrgreen:
I will get a BF Princeton someday,and I'll find a CTS speaker just like you said!

Good God, man......I was thinking about leaving you a few of mine!

:)

I had no idea that arthritis was a factor. I have it as well though thankfully not in my hands.

:(

Hang in there, Reb.

Reb sorry to hear about the arthritis. I did have any until about three years ago, I had my 4th knee reconstruction and about six months afterward it came on pretty hard in my knee...then it started in my hands...had no idea that it could spread like that. So far it hasn't got bad in my hands and as long as I do a bit of warm up its bearable...and since I play blues, my bending and vibrato is still pretty decent, but my speed on some runs has slowed down a bit...so I bend more and use more vibrato! And yep not much they can do except give something for the pain.

Continue to enjoy those brownies as long as you can!

Thanks y'all...music is the one thing that gets me by,it always has.
This arthritis crap is crazy,they tell me that there's many different types and I've been diagnosed with osteoarthritis...it came on around 5-7 years ago and has spread like wildfire,it sucks because I have always been active and up until this,could do whatever I wanted,now it's slowed me down alot and I'm acting more like an old man,I'm 58 but at times feel like 88,at least that's what I think,hell 88 might be a hundred times worse.
But guys,I had friends that never made it this far,just like I'm sure y'all have...and they were great guys too,so I finally realized that as a survivor up to this point I should be grateful and not let things get me down...you never know when your number will come up.......well,enough of the "down home fill-osophy". :D
We have been given the gift of music...I just wish we lived closer so we could raise a glass and jam! :D

Count on it.

I'll also expect a "gee-whiz" familiarization drive in your C5.

No sweat......I'm still type-certified in the Corvette.
