Congrats !

A very nice collection just got another highlight.

I wonder how many of the 600 are owned by forum members here.

I own one of the 24 that went to Germany.

This is the 1st I heard of these. When were they made ?

They were made in 2002, at the same time that the second generation of reissues came out...

I believe they also came with a signature cabinet as well... Does anybody here have one?

Yeah I have a cab. It's just a 1960a that match's the head.

So how does it compare to the rest of the museum? I think you should provide a ratings spec sheet for those of us who dream about doing it.

I have the matching cab too. It came with g12-75 speakers so I put V-30's in it and huge improvement. I think the TV cab cloth matches it too. You can make a matching cab for it. The cloth is the bluesbreaker cloth backwards and can be ordered from antique electronic supply along with gold piping.

I got a TV cab that matches mine. The 25w greenies are great for classic rock. I use my 1960v cab with v 30's or a 1960a with g12t-75's for metal.

Twin, I've been eyeing one of those!!! :)

I noticed today that the 2203ZW is very picky about speakers!!! I hooked it up to my GT75's and it sounded amazing!!! Hooked to a cab with greenbacks and it went FLAT!!! Sounded very thin and brittle!!! Vintage 30's sounded good, but the GT75's win!!!

Nice collection. Only 1 question. Which do you play the most?

I like 25's for classic rock with it. The 75's seem to sound best for metal, but if I mic it up live the V30's seem to sound alot better,...they reproduce the upper mids much better.

I remember when that amp came out. It was all those bullseyes that ruined it for me, would have looked much better plain. Regardless, I'm sure its a great sounding amp.
