When you are talking Gibson Goldtone, are you talking about something like this?
I have one like it but only in the brown.

Practice Room

Post by Gary Chiappetta »

I have adopted the JamHub as my "practice room". It can be used anywhere, gives me the best sound I have ever had, and bothers nobody. No need for an amplifier (I use an RP-150 amp modeler). www.jamhub.com

The halfstack version above and the combo version as well, the one you have pictured I believe has the amp controls on the bottom backside of amp...The Gibson SUPER Goldtone combo's I prefer are with the control(s) setup on top like the Tweed Bassman amps have.Image
Like my combo here.

yes, that is a genuine 1952 Les Paul Standard .... :)

Robert,
Yes, you are correct, the amp and the controls are located on the bottom of the backside.
I bought this amp when it was still made for Gibson in England. Shortly thereafter, they moved the factory to the US and started using black Tolex.

I've already adopted many items from all of your comments. Unfortunately, one of my bigger drawbacks is the location. I have an ENTIRE second floor, but...(operative word is Second Floor) Need I say more?! Thanks again for all inputs! :)
