Man, I sure love New Amp Day!

Even better is Day After New Amp Day, when you skip work & sit around playing your guitar all day...

Whisperer · September 23rd, 2008, 05:10 PM

Absolutely gorgeous... a huge congrats. Enjoy your day off!

Congratulations!

Enjoy!

What was the first song that you played?

Very cool.

Sara Richter sure makes a nice amp, and packs it well, too.

You naughty boy!

Thanks, guys!
I have no doubt I made the right choice; the amp is fantastic, and Sara was a pleasure to do business with. Now I have to figure out what else I can sell to get the money together for one of her new Bassman heads!

I played a couple of my usual lame, stiff-fingered minor pentatonic licks... they didn't sound half-bad through the Richter! Then I cranked the volume & tone knobs & played my version of David Lindley's version of Mercury Blues for about an hour.

Hey NUB,
Is that a 5e3 repro?
Nice looking amp, I love my 5e3 :)

Nub · September 23rd, 2008, 08:34 PM

BobbyB,

Yup, it's a 5E3, and the speaker is one of those new Jensen Tornado Neos...
I'm sure starting to understand why you guys are always raving about your 5E3's!

PraiseCaster · September 23rd, 2008, 08:39 PM

NICE!

Man, I am played out from today! I spent all day playing with the new amp, finally shut it off to have dinner & watch some TV. Before I finish eating, a couple of buddies call & invite me over to jam; Heck, I gotta go so I can see how the 5E3 sounds with other guitars!

When I get there, one guy is playing through a Bogner half-stack, and the other guy is playing through an Orange Rockerverb 50 head & 2x12 cab... they're LOUD, and they're playing "surf metal."

Their jaws dropped, though, when I cranked the Richter and hit my first chord; we played for a couple of hours, and the amp held it own just fine. Plus, it was much easier to carry to the car than their rigs!

That's a looker!

EdMax · September 25th, 2008, 09:08 PM

Whats your take on the Tornado speaker? Those are fairly new and I have not seen much chatter about them yet.

The low end on the Tornado is not quite as tight as the regular Neo, but the Tornado is warmer & has a bit of "British flavor" to it; it sounds like a cross between a regular Jensen Neo & a Celestion Blue. So far, I'm very glad I went with it.
