Stephen Bruton was my dearest friend, we played in a few bands together (Christine McVie, The Lucky Dogs), and he co-produced my Walking All the Way album.
His Dumble amp came in our shop for a little visit courtesy of Joe Bonamassa.

Behold Chet Atkins Princeton: likely to be heard on hundreds of recordings. This one came to us from Micah Yandell, son of Paul Yandell another legendary Nashville guitar slinger. According to Micah, Chet gifted this amp to Paul Yandell somewhere along their journey.

We have seen many Princetons in this shop over the last 28 years, but they have had a resurgence of popularity in the last 10 years for their size, weight, and tone in many situations. The microphone loves them. Along with basic restoration, Nashville Amplifier Service offers a number of upgrades to this original gem of an amp including tightening up the low end, power supply, speaker/baffle upgrades, and a few other in house tone adjustments.

This Princeton was modded for Chet at some point by Paul Rivera. Micah wanted it restored as Rivera left it and as his dad and Chet had utilized it on hundreds of records. Princely indeed.

If your amps aren’t happy, take them to the best guy around. Todd Sharp. I’ve known him for many years and he’s not only a great amp tech and builder but also a hellacious player, stellar human, singer and songwriter as well as having played guitar with some of the biggest names in the buisness. Rod Stewart, Mick Fleetwood, Hall and Oates, Delbert McClinton and so on. I prefer guys that can actually play to work on amps and guitars. Right?
