Re: 68 princeton "custom" reissue - "r34" mod to reduce extra bass

Thanks so much! My hypothesis was to reduce the R34, but not eliminate it, and I wondered how much. I didn't appreciate R52's impact. I did play with the tone stack calculator a little. As far as selling and getting a 65 RI instead, I probably should, but financially, I think it's significantly chea...
