I never got the 3 speakers thing.  I just can't deal with a speaker setup involving an odd number other than "1" - I just can't do it.


Nice looking amp, though. :D

I love the idea of three speakers .. although I've never owned a three speaker amp so maybe I would feel differently with actual experience.

The tweed Bandmaster and its various clones, also the Vibro-King .. they all turn my crank, in theory at least.

Nice pics!

wow that's gorgeous.. I love those old  Fender Tweeds  :?


I also have some weird thing about odd numbered speakers but I think in this case I could see past it  ;)

Everyone knows three speakers are much more stable then four...

Killer amp.  So is this Zhivago's Vintage Amp Hotties Vol. #1?

I think it's close to my idea of perfect amp..a tweed bassman with "n" 12" speakers on it...who cares if they are 1,2,3..
