Until you have to pick it up and move it.Or a Deluxe Reverb.
A '64 Blackface Princeton Reverb? They're 32 lbs.! The '64 Deluxe Reverb is 38 lbs.Until you have to pick it up and move it.
Or a Deluxe Reverb.
Trufe dat!Tweed Deluxe or Champ in the recording studio.
Yep, that's why my only amp now is a Fender Pro Junior .A '64 Blackface Princeton Reverb? They're 32 lbs.! The Deluxe Reverb is 38 lbs.
Yeah I use to have a Pro Jr. and liked it a lot. They're nice sounding amps and are lighter weight than a '64 Princeton or Deluxe. The Pro Jr's. are PCB wired though and the OP wants handwired. I'm 59 and can pickup and carry a 32 lb. Princeton and 38 lb. Deluxe amp fine right now. If that changes, I'll cross that bridge then.Yep, that's why my only amp now is a Fender Pro Junior .
Just like you should choose cheese for its flavor not it’s meltability (yeah, I’m talkin’ ‘bout YOU velveeta!), I dont believe in choosing an amp based on weight, but rather it’s sound. You can get dollys cheap, but you don’t want your sound to be. If you like the sound of a lighter amp, then great, but that should be the last criteria.
Plenty of hits were made using this '69 Princeton Reverb. Of course, it helps when the player is Louis Shelton. And yes, weight was an issue according to Louie because he had to carry that thing around to all his sessions. It's not entirely stock though. Louis had some modifications made on a couple of the knobs.

That does seem odd. Maybe the truss rod is adjusted to provide relatively high relief?He was playing on those frets I wonder why no wear on the board?
