I've thought about getting this one. Would it get him where he wants to be? The Vox AC4TV, with the built-in attenuator. http://www.voxamps.com/us/modernclassic/ac4tv/
Same here. I love the 59 in the neck, really sounds good there (but not as good as a Bare Knuckle Mule in the neck), but that JB bridge just didn't yank my chain. Too bad Jol went that route so often.
Dang, Ranger! It works for me. Cupping the ears really boosts the vocal frequencies to the point that I can easily understand the lyrics. Instead of muddy/muffled/obscure words, I hear actual understandable words.
Thanks for this, bro!
