here it is A/B with an Eric Clapton Tremelux amp that costs $2,000.00. The Excelsior is $300 new. with the $200 left over you can buy yourself a very very nice 2 channel overdrive and have the perfect amp

Thanks for this. I forwarded the links to my bro. Looks closest to what he's lookin for so far.

Just watched that vid again and now I want an excelsior. ...and there's one for sale at my local shop for $240. May check it out tomorrow.

I did play it yesterday. Roadworn Jazzy sounded unusable through it, shrill icepick tones even in dark setting. I then played a danophobe Hodad with lipstick buckers through it and saw what the fuss was about. Really dig it, though I'm low on dispensable gear to trade and have pedalboard priorities. I might see what I can do tomorrow.

BTW, my bro lives on Grand Island.

...And just learned Scott Frielich's Top Shelf Music (on Hertel Ave.) is closed and he's full-time bassist with the Headers.
