I appear to have accidentally bought Eric Johnson's stage 1965 Twin Reverb with JBLs. Serviced by George Allessandro.....Eric's used it for the last 28 years. George has done all work on it for that time!

I put a snipe on it last night, forgot about it and now I own one of the greatest amps in the world.

Fuckity fuck.

    Wow! Awesome!

    At the price I paid, it was half what you'd pay for a  65 with those speakers in that condition.

    There may be a discussion to be had. Fancy a 1966 Blackface Princeton?

    Happy new amp day! I think that one might be a Tinnitus special. I saw EJ at a small club in the 90s. He had two Twins and two Marshall tops with 4x12s. I won’t say he had them dimed, but it sure sounded like it. I had earplugs but my friend was scrambling around for anything he could stuff in his ears. What a racket!

    Fabulous. Sincere congrats. 

    I love these even though they're an internationally recognised unit of weight ("We had to move a lady's old piano last week, my spine crumbled and Terry actually died, it must have been nearly two Twin Reverbs with JBL's...")
