My '59 Trans-badge Pioneer in WMP is so warm, open and woody...

Definitely not articulate enough for complex rudimentary work. Jazz Fest and Supra were meant for more tighter playing.

Pioneer is fantastic for fat open blues & bass. guitar2

And who doesn't like a nice fat snare drum sound on some great blues stuff?
