en référence au dernier album de Jim Campilongo intitulé Orange..
T'as des infos là-dessus ? Ca m'intéresse.
Il en parle mieux que personne
Ah c'est toujours un bonheur pour moi de voir jouer Jim Campilongo.
Quel style !
Et le nut bending, pas évident, faut jouer sur Xtra lights pour faire des trucs comme ça non ?
Quant au Princeton orange il a un bon look je trouve, qu'en pensez vous ?
@Soopajeanmi
Trop bizarre.
J'ai cherché "princeton reverb reissue inside"dans google images et je la trouve pas cette image...
Petit encart quant au matériel utilisé par Jim:
AMPLIFICATION
I own many amps but I prefer the weight, portability and sound of Princeton Reverbs. I own two '66 Princeton Reverbs, three 70's, two new reissues, two '70's Vibrolux Reverbs (one has solid state rectifier instead of a tube) and a 70's Vibrochamp (the most amazing vibrato sound ever created).
SPEAKERS
The variety of speakers in my Princeton amps:
a) Celestion G-10 for a throaty "compressed" sound. This speaker isn't too bright so sometimes I'll use it for "jazz" sounds as well.
b) 60's "Gold Back" Jensen C-10 N. My favorite speaker. The more advanced the the Jensen speaker alphabet (as in Q verses N) the less the wattage capacity. The N Jensen C-10 seem to be robust enough to handle maximum volume, de-tuning and whatever else I throw at it. The highs are cutting but still pleasant.
TUBES
I replace all my amps with "new old stock" tubes. Any of the available NOS's are, in my opinion, an improvement over "stock" Russian or Chinese tubes. Also, if you're like me and play 45 year old amps on "10" for six months you should expect to have to replace tubes and speakers more than you'll like. Remember... When it comes to tone, there is no such thing as a "free lunch"!
THE FENDER REISSUE
I endorse the Fender Princeton reissue and I think the guys at Fender did a great job. I'm proud to endorse the amp. A video of what I have to say about the reissue can be found here
In a nutshell...
No matter what year my amps were manufactured, my personal tastes include replacing tubes and speakers in all of them. So check out the info I've supplied here on this page and draw your own conclusions. Tone is a subjective and quite often confounding thing. Learn to trust your instincts. You'll be glad you did.
STRINGS and SETUP
I like D'Addario EKXL120 009's-.042 sitting as high as possible over the pickup plate. This helps me avoid picking the pickup plate instead of the low E string. I also have a tendency to miss strings 3 and 4 but an "extreme arch" with the truss rod somewhat remedied this problem. I have a string endorsement but I liked D'Addario well before the endorsement deal. I like their bright sound and feel. Maybe I'm imagining this but D'Addario's seem wound tighter then "Boomers". They feel more "round wound" on my fingertips. I always get these "raised eyebrow" looks when I say I use .009's but I've used that gauge (on my electrics) since 1973. I've always felt that a lighter gauge was easier on the fretting hand but harder on the picking hand. Why? Because there is less string surface to strike. I've used .010's and felt that the sound was too bright. More info can be found at
