Sorry not for sale. Ever.

@@gair1944 np. Is that alder or ash?

@@smoochie3331it’s alder

It’s an amazing guitar. I can’t stop playing it

@@stephanb3544 bone all the way saddle and nut

Oh okay thanks ​@@gair1944

Thanks for your thoughtful post.

Thanks! I’m glad it was helpful😊

Thank you for the kind words. Glad this was an honest and helpful presentation.

@@davidwitter3695 I agree.

The Fishman is definitely more natural sounding in person. If that shines through in the RUclips I would say that’s accurate.

@@jeffbellin8224 do you need battery power? If not I’m getting better performance from Gishman Loudbox Artist. It has more volume and projection than the mini. Also I run an Electrovoice Everse 8 battery power 8” PA speaker from the direct output of the Fishman as well. The eVerse 8 is a good battery powered option as well.

Yeah, I want battery power. The Artist goes deeper, and as a consequence, will have more natural bloom. But playing the ukulele, it doesn't go as deep as a guitar. I had both the S1 Pro+ and Mini Charge at home in my backyard. With a Sennheiser E835 microphone, both my wife and I agreed that the Fishman sounded better, more natural. I don't know how much the Mini Charge will bottom out at louder volumes. We plan to take both to an open field and see. The Bose, as a PA speaker, seems more potentially versatile, but the Fishman seems more tonally accurate.

@@jeffbellin8224 I agree with everything you shared 100%. All that is pure truth in my experience as well. You might check out the Electrovoice Everse 8. It is battery powered, but has an 8" speaker instead of the smaller Bose or Fishman Mini. Great battery life, stand mountable and has more projection and coverage than the Fishman. Could be a happy middle ground between the Bose S1 Pro and the Mini Charge.

@@joshmuz9018 because Leo got it right the first time? No reason to argue with how great the Deluxe Reverb sounds.

Hey freddels, I actually sold the Super Bee and opted for a Carr Rambler again. It has the clean headroom I sometimes want and need. Takes pedals great and is superb. I also love my Fender 64 Deluxe Reverb custom handwired. Superb glassy pure classic Fender tone!

@@gair1944 If I was going to get a Deluxe, I'd probably opt for a Headstrong (lifetime warranty). I noticed on the Louis website that no warranty is listed so not sure if he supports the amps after purchase. I know Carr does support his amps.

@@Freddels1Lou at Louis Electric will totally take care of you. I’ve talked to him and had several friends and fans order because of the videos they saw.

@@gair1944 That's good to know since I don't see any warranty info on his site.

It really is a quite sweet sounding little amp.

Thanks for listening and casting your vote. No dog in this race for sure.

Yeah, the Celestion Alnico Cream does impart a British flavor to some degree. Thats why I started experimenting with ceramic magnet alternative speakers

@@trojanhman8136 the price is truly out of reach. Bummer.

@@gair1944 It sure is but we can buy an Artist 20 watt tube amp here in Oz for close on $600 & around $400 for the 12 watt model.

@@glenndavis479 This amp was lent to me from a friend to check out. He bought it used for a phenomenally cheap price. Otherwise the new pricing doesn't make sense for most of us. In terms of tone and performance for its size and weight, it's a very nice sounding amp.

@@gair1944 I totally agree it sounded really good mate and yeah the prices for Tube amps now days is silly. Even with the exchange rate though it seems an awful lot for the price of a new one that's why I mentioned the Artist one , just for the Aussies that might be watching...I understood your mate got it second hand.

Yeah the Jupiter is a wonderful speaker and almost 1/3 the cost of the Celestion Alnico Cream.

Alnico has less attack so not a fair comparison :D and if you had the small ceramic Jupiter would be a better comparison I think.

@@Cheguebuddha Yeah it does that squishy creamy alnico thing. Not sure it makes sense to compare to the smaller ceramic Jupiter since this sounds so nice. The efficiency of the 12LC (50W) is closer to the Celestion Alnico cream (90W) speaker. It would be interesting but I'm not gonna buy another speaker at this point. These amps sound great as-is.

Thanks! 😄

I’m all about getting the cleans right first. If the amp doesn’t do that I’m not interested.

Yeah the pricing is nuts. I can’t justify the cost personally.

@@gair1944 Not when so many of its components are not manufactured in the amp's country of origin.

Thanks for your comment.

Me too! Thanks

One of these amps belongs to a friend so i can choose one speaker. But both would be cool. Im gonna put the Celestion Alnico Cream back in mine and do another comparison.

Thanks Mark. This Tele is a special guitar for sure. The Voodoo TE60's are part of its secret sauce but it was great with the stock handwound Custom shop Twisted Tele PU's too. I like the Voodoo's more.

@@Blaha_haha I’d choose the 64 custom handwired Princeton Reverb all day long.

I madly love this guitar ...and I got a great deal on it when I bought it in 2013.

Yes I sold the Tone King Imperial. I have the '65 Princeton Reverb Knotty Pine Ltd, Fender 64 Deluxe Reverb Custom and Carr Rambler. Ultimately I prefer those over the Tone King and I found the reverb on the TK extremely lackluster.

@@gair1944 Good to know. All great amps you have.

I agree these prohibitively expensive. But what a great sound.

Thanks!

Thanks so much Pete.

Yeah these are super expensive. I would be hard pressed to spend the money this model costs but I wanted to make the demo because it produces very very good tone for such a small amp.

@@gair1944 Agreed, You get a great sounding amp, but for the price there are a few others I would buy.

@@garypannone7755 I Completely agree. I would not spend that kind of money on 'this' model. But I'm impressed with the Milkman amp sound and performance. It was nice of my friend to loan it to me for a quick drive-through.

Thanks Dave!

Hey. Should I know who this is?

@@gair1944 hey Gary this is Joel Bill's friend we talked last Friday night

@@user-hk7dj8vj4qHey Joel! Enjoyed talking with you after my gig Friday. Thx for stopping by .. there and “here”. 😊

@@tedcallahan9149 sorry for the dialogue being low volume. The Princeton has way more headroom and fullness. This small milkman one watt plus amp is super toneful and fun but a lot of money. They list at $1600 ish.

Thanks for watching and for the nice comment

Your point is certainly fair. But you what they say? ...."When in Rome...". What you probably don't know is the amp with the WGS was a loaner so I made the Video while I had the chance. IS this comparison better than nothing? Maybe not to you, but it was to me. Have a splendid day nonetheless.

Thanks for the kind words Rich. I agree Peter Florence was an awesome person. I spoke with him a few time in the years before he passed.

@@gair1944 When I got another Swamp Ash Strat body from Peter, I asked him to make it @ 3.25 lbs & damn if it wasn’t right on the money. I was my gigging guitar while in a band. Had Kinman AVN Blues pickups installed. Great pups & they were dead quiet :-)

Thanks for your detailed comments. One thing I've learned with RUclips videos is the compression tends to level everything out in terms of volume. This makes it hard to discern levels of headroom or punch. I agree the Fishman Mini is insufficient in terms of clean headroom. Since I made this video I added a new battery powered contender: The Electrovoice Everse 8. It has an 8" speaker, an App for your phone with a lot of EQ / tone shaping capability. It has more headroom than the Bose S1 Pro or Fishman Loudbox Mini Charge and it has a very capable battery. It can also be stand mounted or tilted back on the ground.

@@gair1944 Wow thanks! Ill check that out :)

You are very kind. Thank you. I hope this provides value for all who check it out.

Yes I do but a lot of that tone is in your hands. The TK Imperial MKII serves a very classic blackface tone. You can get more sag using the attenuator and dialing the channel volume higher too.

Thanks for listening. This guitar is incredible. It has amazing tone.
