A bit of a random topic, actually. Have you ever played (at home or live) and then think to yourself, "Wow, I have a fantastic tone." And then, just for a moment or two, you forget about 1959SLP with 1960A cabinets...


OH! What do you guys think about the 1959SLP?

I wish. I am always in search of the quintesential tone. I'm pretty happy at the moment, but I see a different cab in the future.

It's all in your mindset. Convince yourself that you have great tone and that life is good. :wink:

I do find myself using the mids a bit more now. Have them cranked up to at least 1:00 on the Metal Muff pedal. Cuts through pretty good now.

Being a California type, I'm more likely to get that penultimate tone after a glass (okay, let's be honest ... bottle) of Chardonnay :lol:

Yes, but it's taken me years to find that. Not familiar at all with those cabinets though.

Hi Triskele: all empty now! And the guitar suddenly sounds so good! What a great player I am tonight!

Cheers - C

(PS Don't believe a word of it: really I'm a very light drinker. Took me days to get through that lot... :roll: )

He takes a vodka drink,
He takes a lager drink,
He takes a cider drink....

He plays a song that reminds of the good tone,
He plays a song that reminds of the great tone."
