what amp is that?

Just wondering? Can't seem to save the image to an acceptable format for the forum. But it's on page 2, image 120.

I believe its his original 57' tweed deluxe.. I think I should go put my glasses on first.
In the extra features of his "few of my favorite things" I think I saw it
next to the piano.

Here's fender's reissue version

I'll get the straight for you gimme a minute or 10. My kids bday today, big 7!

Actually, I think that's the Tweed Princeton "practice amp" he's had for years. I've read about it in a couple of old interviews.

i'd thought that but it just appears bigger than that? maybe my little 13" powerbook
makes it look fair sized.

The Princeton had a bigger cab than the Champ did, wouldn't surprise me if the Princeton's cab WAS the Deluxe's cab. Too early to dig out my Fender reference book or Setz paraphenalia, but I remember someone asking him "why the Tweed Princeton as a practice amp?" and he said "it just has the tone".

FYI, you can hear it on one of the Xmas DVDs, where they are arranging "My Favorite Things".

They show that amp in that extra feature.. I'm still swing the idea of it
being a 55'-60' narrow panel deluxe 5E3.. although the narrow panel
princeton was 13 1/2 tall...

Regardless, it's uber kewl. It looks taller than a Princeton cab to me, less rectangular...but maybe thats a tweed thing. I also notice in the JBTV vids, he's playing a combo but you can never get a good look at it, sounds amazing though.

Amazingly frustrating how the camera man manages to keep the mic right in the way so you can't see his left had well to pick up some of the changes.

he has used a blonde twin in the studio but the quick shot of the camera
looked like it was that brown face bandmaster he was doin tv appearances
with.. heck could be a blonde deluxe.. I'm gonna download it and run it
through Imovie.
Interesting tidbit... that was the first setzer sig and it didnt have tvjones
yet if I remember correctly... the first japanese alnicos made for that guitar.
TERRIBLE.. I had them in my 99' SSU and SSL (the mags dont even go all the way across the pickups and the covers are really thick)
Setz still sounds good but they had the cab mic'd, the room mic'd, and his
vocal mic was very hot so it was pickin up the guitar acoustically too.
I'd love an audio recording of that session. His tone is awesome no matter
what he plays through

You got that right in spite of looking like Mr Sulu in that turtleneck




Here's one more that I can't make out, looks tweedy to me.

just saw the amp better... blackface deluxe and its up against the wall which creates a fatter low mids punch.

Gonna go check your tweedy video now..

While searching for turtleneck pics for my previous post I found this one, it made me laugh and I had to share.

you ever gonna share your guitar?
