Hello folks,
So we have finally come to it, the last major piece for my new rig.
As I have mentioned in the other gear threads recently, I do not gig, or even have anyone to play with( except my oldest friend/tour brother, who I have talked into learning to play, so we can jam when he comes down to visit every 6 months or so )
I really just play for myself, and the wife if she’s nearby. When I’m playing (outside of practicing) it’s either just me playing around or learning something, other times I “Try to keep up” and play along with the boys. Sometimes it’s a CD, Video, something from the archive, or a backing track I find and like, that sort of thing.
Back in 2013, I got a SS Fender Mustang II modeling amp, 40w, and 1x 12”. It was and still is a decent amp for the price, if that’s what your looking for in terms of amps. It has plenty of power for the “music room” I have been putting together, aprox 12’ x 20’(I can give a exact measurement after I’m finished with my cigar and go back in the house if needed)
I’m a firm believer in “If it’s worth playing, it’s worth playing loud” so I do like to crank it up at times.
Anyhow, before this turns into a book,
I am ready to move on, especially after getting the Eastwood Wolf Tribute, and putting together my first pedalboard.
I’d really love to keep it as close to the $1k mark if possible.
There are several amps I have been looking at:
Fender '68 Custom Princeton Reverb 1x10" 12-watt Tube Combo Amp
Fender '65 Princeton Reverb 1x12" 15-watt Tube Combo Amp - Lacquered Tweed
Fender '65 Princeton Reverb 1x10" 15-watt Tube Combo Amp
Fender '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb 1x12" 22-watt Tube Combo Amp
Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb 1x12" 22-watt Tube Combo Amp - Black
I think it goes without saying, I’m dead set on a Fender, lol!
Would love to hear any thought or opinions on the ones listed above. I’m just trying to get in the ballpark with Jerry, then tweak from there with pedals and solid Playing technique.
Thanks
Chris
