Laurie and I got ourselves a Fender® Audio Newport 2 Bluetooth Speaker for a combined birthday present. It’s stylish. It’s retro. It’s Fender. It’s very cool. It sounds really great, also. It has punchy bass, strong mid-range, and clear highs. It can be connected with Bluetooth, USB, or a cable with a 1/8-inch stereo jack on each end. While we thought we were getting this speaker for ourselves to listen to, the MLPs are going crazy over the new Audio Newport 2.

This is great, nothing like a gift that you know will be used a lot and enjoyed. The ponies are hysterical by the way. Only you would think of this Tim. It is great. You two behave now. Big hugs to you both!!!! 🎉🎊🎈🎉💕🎊
Thanks, Joni.
You are very welcome. Have a special evening together too. Big hugs to you both. 🎂🎉🥳🎈😘🎊🎂
Haha. The speaker looks awesome.
It is awesome. Thanks, Jeff.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Rock on, MLPs!
🤘🏼🦄 Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
The ponies or the speaker??? Hard to say which is the more awesome.
For me the speaker is more awesome. The MLPs beg to differ. Thanks, Shey.
LOL!!!
Oh my!! 😅
Thanks, Dawn. Does Murph like to dance? His appointment is soon if I remember.
Slow dancing sways him to close his eyes. I have played with his legs to the beat, but I end up laughing so hard, I just can’t do anymore – because the rest of him is still and I get the side-eye. And, keeping him vertical as if he were dancing a little jig… nope, not happening.
Thanks, yes it is Tuesday, Election Day.
There is also a lunar eclipse Tuesday morning.
Yes! Thank you for the reminder. I just read that maybe yesterday. Setting alarm
That’s a very cool birthday present, congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊
It’s very cool. Thanks, Holly.
😊
Fun! The MLPs dancing is hilarious.
They were getting down to the hoof jive. Thanks, JYP.
I think you may have understated it’s ability to inflict brain damage. LOL.
I saw a JBL speaker I’ve coveted on sale today. It hurt nit to buy it – but I really don’t listen to music at home so the purchase would be stupid.
Thanks, Leenda.
I love my Bluetooth speaker. It’s not nearly as cool as yours!
As long as yours works well and sounds good. Thanks, Michele.
I agree! 🎶
How adorable the MLPS are!!! And your boom box is super cool! 😎
Thanks, Samantha. The MLPs are a wild pair.
Both of you are having a birthday these days? All best I wish for a upcoming birthday 🎂❤️
Our birthdays were last month, but the speaker was delivered Saturday.
OK congratulations anyway 🤗
That’s a great dancing act Timothy, you are an awesome animator 🙂
Thanks, Rudi.
Oh wow, that Fender® Audio Newport 2 Bluetooth Speaker looks really cool! I’m planning to buy a little amp so I can occasionally play slide guitar or my Theremin. I love the looks of the vintage Fender amps.
I highly recommend the the PositiveGrid Spark Mini Amp: https://www.positivegrid.com/products/spark-mini. I have one, and it is the coolest little amp. It has an app that gives you hundreds of amplifier setups, and pedal combos. It is super loud and sounds fabulous for as tiny as it is. The app has a lot of cool features like when you play a song in your iTunes library, it shows you the chords, and you can slow down the song or speed it up. You can also plug it into your computer and record through the amp. Thanks, Herman.
Thanks for the link, Tim. The Spark Mini amp seems to be very interesting. I already found a store in Europe too. Have a great Sunday!
I just sent you an email with video and a couple of screenshots.
Never mind. Your email rejected it.
Don’t know what happened… Sorry for the inconvenience, Tim.
The attachments were probably too large. I added titles and explanations to the video and uploaded it to YouTube: https://youtu.be/N6eyfWdZdTE
Your set up and gear looks (and sounds) great! A friend of mine also bought the Boss RC-5 Loop Station. The Spark Mini Amp really looks very cool.
The Spark Mini is a really good value, also.
The speaker looks awesome.
Thanks, Inge. It’s great.
it is a smart looking “box”
It’s fun. Thanks, China Dream.
That’s amped and boss, In a manner of speaking 🙂
But Boss amps are another thing. I have a Boss guitar amp and various Boss accessories. Thanks, Mary Jo.
That is a nice multi-connector type speaker, Tim! The MLPs are are a cute pair, too.
Thanks, Lavinia.
Wonderful gift, and MLP’s are just awesome under the matching lights! Thasnk for the enjoyable share, Tim.
You are welcome, Maj & Sher. The MLPs were having a great time.
Tim, great lookin’ speaker and great lookin’ reaction to its arrival. (might want to cut back on the MLP’s coffee consumption…or maybe decaf?)
Caf or decaf doesn’t seem to matter with the MLPs. Thanks, Bruce.
Fabulous, Tim!! You have the best parties.
Thanks, Rebecca. We definitely have party ponies.
I’d go crazy too like the MLPs!!!!!! 😉
Enjoy!
I can imagine. Thanks, Marina.
😉
If this is what they do while you’re watching, imagine what they do when you’re not around
Wild times. Thanks, Ruth.
love it and so do they hoof’n it up!!1 💞
Thanks, Cindy.
Speaker is colorful and unicornly active
Thanks, aana.
Looks like everyone is enjoying the boombox!
We are. Thanks, Couriers..
This looks like great fun!
It is. Thanks, Roberta.
Those MLPs are grooving – cool speaker – does the volume knob go to 11 !?!
It sure does. When you turn it to 11 you get a spinal tap and start breaking like the wind! Thanks, Brian.
That’s a keeper ha! (needs a tiny Stonehenge next to it)
It has the MLPs wth their matching lights.
LOL! The ponies are too cute.
That Fender looks great. When I met Norm, he was in bands. He used a Strat (same as Hendrix’s) and a Fender. The sound was sweet as honey.
The MLPs are wild. That’s the same Strat norm plays in the videos? Thanks, Resa.
Yes, it is. The frets are worn even with the fret board, so he only plays it once in awhile now. He wants to keep it original, so he won’t have it re-fretted. He has other guitars. Most are cheapos, but he has one nice Gibson. He also was gifted a Fender Jazz (I think jazz) Bass from 1970. He helped sell his friends guitar collection after he died, and the family let him pick one guitar. The collection of basses was quite impressive.
He can play it as a fretless guitar.
That’s basically how he is using it, when he does play it. x
You can do a lot of cool stuff with a fretless guitar. I made one. It’s called the Serengeti Strat with it’s zebra striped body.
Cool! Obvi I’ve been over on Art Gowns. I still haven’t caught up over there, so will be heading back, once I catch up here.
I’m so impressed that you post daily! xx
Thanks, Resa.
