Guys,
I'm a long-time lurker and bedroom surfer, but haven't posted much.
Since I'm mostly a bedroom surfer these days, I recently picked up a
'68 Princeton Reverb so I won't annoy the neighbors and/or wife too
much. The amp sounds great with my Jazzmaster (and soon to join the
family: a CIJ Jaguar), but I'm thinking of replacing the stock Oxford
10" with a 12" of some sort to get more bottom oomph and a little more
volume/headroom for jamming with friends out of it.
I've heard that the Weber California series speakers are good JBL
clones(?), and people especially seem to like the 15" model. Would the
12" Cali be a good choice for surfing (and similar early 60s sounds)
for my PR?
Also, unrelated to the speaker choice, since the faceplate is battered
and the tolex a bit crusty, I'm thinking of making it into the PR that
never was: cream tolex/wheat grille, repro/custom brown faceplate with
cream barrel knobs. It'll be the mini surfing machine!
Any suggestions for someone to do the cab recover (or just build me a
new cab/grille and baffle)? I've heard Larry Rodgers as a good
recommendation, but his website (rodgersamps.com) seems to be AWOL
these days.
Opinions/thoughts/etc. welcome!
Thanks,
Steven
