Any good vintage style P-90 would get the job done...Start with the Duncan Vintage, put it in a LP Jr, plug it into a Sunn and crank it!

What a great sound to go after.
One of the sounds that many pro's quote they have tried to copy.

You could not go wrong with a Duncan Antiquity P-90...maybe one about 5% stronger than a stock 50's Gibson P-90 would be especially nice. I remember Leslie saying he used a German made amp called a "Stramp" for those early Mountain recordings. I don't think he gigged with them though. Lew

Mississippi Queen (IMHO) has one of the WORL"DS best tones. I saw Leslie on VH1 doing Mississippi Queen but this must have been late 80's or 90's. Crap Tone. He slogs through the song and fahrts around, and it just depressed me. You couldn't hardly recognize the tune. Anyone else see this?

That amp is the stink. You can get some very heavy tones from it. Very thick, very dark.
You may want to play with speakers also. What are in there for speakers now?
You may want to pop the cab open and find out what they are for speakers.
How do you like the TI?
I am jealous. :13:
