Sounded great, because Andy (and he was playing a newer Danelectro into it), and for one of his solos he just went over and turned the amp up, then turned it back down when it was over.

I miss Tim on this board. Tim if you'r out there, please come back and visit. I understand if you've got bigger fish to fry though.

This kinda reminds me of somebody...

As for that paint job?

I get the feeling that a lone buddy at Fender is pestering coworkers with this very thread, and saying "See? I tried to tell you!"

Tim still occasionally posts under the name 'eephus'.

(ah yes, numberthirty kinda alluded to it)

Oh cool! Always enjoyed the Ask Tim thread, and his record recommendations are alway very informative

I'd always use these to test stuff in guitar stores if a Twin wasn't available. This whole line has it's own sound. Fender, but a little different. Not bad, and rather handy. Small package for a 12" speaker combo. I kinda like the little Pro Jr more, but it has a smaller speaker. It's been too long to recall much.

FM Ike played one for at least part of Minutes. Sounded good in that context.

Yay!!

I had a tweed Blues Jr for years- recorded the last IG and the first 2 Bismarck records with it- and practiced w/ both very loud bands with no issue. At some point I swapped the speaker to a Greenback, which made a huge difference. It became a maintenance nightmare after about a decade.

That's about right. I've actually gutted and rebuilt a Pro Jr before to remedy this very problem, along with some noise reduction.

I'm just trying to wrap my brain around the idea that someone actually kept a Blues Jr. up and running for around a decade.

I bought mine used and have been playing on it for a decade. Redid the tubes a couple years ago, that's it. Granted it's not part of my regular rig so I don't put a ton of miles on it.
