I confess to being a Blackface guy - I never did warm up to my old tweeds and sold them. It isn't for everybody, and depends largely upon what you have in mind as your sound.

I used to have a 1960 Vibrolux and was very frustrated with the single tone control at the time. I used to run it with an Alembic F2B preamp (essentially a BF Fender front end) to get the EQ I craved. Worked great, but at that point I might as well 'fess up and use a Princeton.
