The guitar corner

WIM OVERGAAUW

An underrated Dutch jazz guitar player.

• Never heard of him.
  
• He should stop smoking. Very unhealthy.
  
• Even if it gives him a halo.
  
• I wonder what kind of guitar that is. Hagstrom maybe?
  
• Does he also wear white socks with sandals?

I saved up $500 in coins and I should be getting about $400 back for returning the tops to my can-am cabinets... might be time to pick up a G&L tele or strat...

[jazzbo]

I've been toying with the idea of getting an Ashbory bass when I can afford it. . . .

Though I'd rather have this (but don't have the building skills or tools!)

One of these would be nice with that new Tele.

Koa.

If anyone is interested in the Koa strat, I bought a Koa body and loaded it with neck, pickups and hardware from a 1996 USA Standard Strat with very good results that I'm actully trying to sell. I'm asking less than $700 price tag on the Korean model.

I'm pretty sure I posted pictures of it earlier in this thread.

The picture is on page 56 post number 831. The picture doesn't do the finish justice, it's beautiful.

I have a bunch of amps already. I even have a early '70s Princeton.

[Jim Alfredson]

hmm...

Is that a Blues Jr? Nice amp, especially if properly set-up. Greg just got his re-tubbed and biased and it screams.

Yeah, in lacquered tweed. This model hits the streets this Summer. I don't need another amp, but this is sweet.

I'd like to get one eventually for my Wurlitzer electric pianer.

That would sound funky, ele piano through a little gtr amp.

If the neck is relatively thin without being too narrow, I'm interested.

That's cool. They've modernized this reissue while retaining all the good things about the original. Tweaks include:

• Onboard overdrive and compression (The compression is quite nice and the overdrive is not half bad either).
  
• A "trans-impedance power attenuator" which allows you to take advantage of full tube overdrive at lower volume levels.
  
• Headphone jack.
  
• Speaker output jack.
  
• FX loop and four-button footswitch.

For years the Princeton was my main practice amp. Around 2001, I added a 12" ported cabinet, then I replaced (but did not sell) the Princeton with a Univalve that has a bunch of those features. Lately I've been using a '67 Silverface Bassman with a THD attenuator to keep the volume down...like I said, I have a bunch of amps.

What I really need in the amp dept., is an open cab with one or two 12"s. I was gigging with the ported cabinet and people were complaining about getting beamed. They should have moved to the side but I should be more responsible and get a cab that isn't going to bludgeon the folks sitting up front.

I'd love to get a Princeton someday, but I think my 70s Vibro Champ is pushing the limits of my neighbors' tolerance as it is.

You might want to check out a THD Hot Plate to keep the volume down. My neighbors never complain.

Thanks - sounds interesting. I've been using a Fulltone OCD pedal to make the amp sound good at low volume, but this is definitely an intriguing alternative. I suppose for a combo amb like my Champ installing this require a sodering iron?

Nah.

Amp->speaker cable->THD attenuator->speaker cable->speaker. You just have to get the right box with the correct ohm rating for your speaker load.
