With that radical slanted top, where do you put your beer?

I think the standard model starts at 865 and mine came in at around 1100...don't know about those jetson combo's (cupholders should be an option!). tom_z Senior Member Username: tom_z Post Number: 460 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Friday, October 20, 2006 - 7:42 pm:    Wow, those look nice. Elwoodblue, what config of tubes and controls did you get? What speakers are you using? What kind of guitar(s) are you using? And, most importantly, how does it sound? Any pix? Very intriguing.

The amp is as close to whisper quiet as you can get,...then loud and crunchy like steve miller or joe walsh. It's brighter than my 65 ampeg jet, ...same sorta mojo,with a very smooth tight high end with a bit of swing to the lower frequency crunch.I'll have to try it with an open back cab. from the auction: "Boutique "Custom" Electrosonic Hand Built Point-to-Point CLASS "A" Neptune Model, 2 Telefunken EL34 power tubes   "25 Watts" , Philips 6SL7 preamp tube , Rectifier Tube : JJ/Tesla GZ34 Solid Oak Cabinet, oversized Transformers (Standard Neptune is 15 watts w/6v6 tubes) (master,gain,treble,mid,bass) cab:Custom 9 ply Solid Baltic Birch  1 x 12 " elwoodblue Intermediate Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 104 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, October 20, 2006 - 9:50 pm:    oh yeah... ...early 80's G&L f-100 ...and an '81 gibson howard roberts.
