I am in a total quandary

I am loving my pair of TKs.

I have always wanted an original 1965 twin. I've been offered one, all original, for a steal....1400. Do I or don't i?

  • It amuses me that you're even framing this as a question.

    I know- and in fact I'm NOT going to do it.

    I don't think it will be better than what I have.

    But how will you know unless you buy it and try  ;)
    Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman, in which case always be Batman.
    My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

    The 1965 twin is the pinnacle, its the amp the TK's aspire to be, women swoon over them, men want to make love to them. Apparently life is not worth living without a 1965 Twin. or so I've heard ;)

  • get an Orange Tiny Terror :-P
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Especially as it's a guarantee that by this time next month he'll have spent in excess of this £1400 on other gear.

    Do it! If you've got £1400 spare then get the amp, A/B it with your current rig and if it's not better, sell it. You'll probably make a little profit on that too, if not just get your money back on here. Someone will buy a '65 twin for £1400!

    Why do you need two TKs?

    Sell one of them and get the Twin. You know you want it.

    Don't do it. Be sensible and save your money, or spend it on wiser things. Stick with what you've got and write some actual music.

    Don't save your money. It's there to be spent and a '65 Twin sounds like a good buy.
