Up for sale, a 1965 Fender Princeton Reverb in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Produced early in 1965, this Blackface Princeton Reverb retains the “Pre-CBS” features typically only associated with the’64 production year, and this extremely clean and early example boasts a Fender Electrical Instrument Co. Faceplate and early no-logo cabinet! The perfect amplifier for small club gigs and studio sessions, the Princeton Reverb is a Fender amp that delivers well balanced, sparkling cleans. The Reverb is extremely lush and the Tremolo has a nice pulse with a wide range of speeds. Modded by one of Nashville’s premier amp shops (aptly named “Nashville Amplifier Service”), this Princeton has incredible volume and an extra gain stage utilizing a 12AX7 before the phase inverter, which has been swapped for a 12AU7. The tone is clean, clean, clean and positively huge, with a bass response and fullness that belies the amp’s modest stature. Here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, we typically strive to offer the most original and vintage-correct amps, but this particular Princeton was so well modded and the work so purposefully done to achieve an impressive tone, that we’ve elected to leave all of Nashville Amplifier Service’s work intact. The chassis itself is very clean with the original power transformer and choke that date to early 1965, while the replaced Deluxe Reverb output transformer dates to 1969. The circuit retains the original CTS pots which also date to’65, along with the tube chart which has an “OF” date stamp that translates to June of 1965. The power tubes are a pair of modern Electro Harmonix 6V6 power tubes which sound great with great richness and detail, while the preamp tubes are a combination of vintage and newer valves. The original faceplate is notably clean and retains all of the original black skirted knobs. As the photos show, the original black tolex is remarkably clean, with oonly light wear on the bottom edges of the enclosure. Both of the original back panels are intact and the stock grillcloth has plenty of sparkle in the thread with only light aging. A two-button Fender footswitch is included.
