Well, I haven't done anything major on the gear front... that's a positive.
Although, I am still tempted to find something different/better.
I guess my nature is to change things up...
So, any ideas for an amp head to play with a telecaster...
Price range $0-$1400
if you think of a great combo... throw that in as well. I prefer at least two speakers for the bigger sound.
I already have a Z-best 212 that I would like to keep.
Just a brain storm.
That or a guitar in the $800 - $1000... rock and blues.

head - THD univalve. all the amps you'd ever want.

I played an Ampeg super jet reissue... it had this throaty edge to it that sounded great to my ear.
It like someone had taken a very smooth tone and just roughed it up, almost randomly for some grit...
I think maybe an older combo amp might be a good A/b with the Ghia rig... or perhaps a blackface bandmaster.
ding ding ding. My sentiments exactly. Look for silverfaces too man, I did sound the other day for a guy that ran a vibrolux and deluxe that sounded great, not my favorite because I'm partial to the blackfaces but way cheaper and very nice.
I know you aren't into the knobs and all but what about A Mesa Blue Angel or a Nomad for the Tele.
I'd stick with the Z best cab since it's your favorite.
With the Blue Angel you don't have to choose between 84's and 6V6's
You can get a 68 Bassman head for like $450. It's fucking cool as it is but you can severely improve the tone there with new tubes caps etc. Matt Farrow, can convert it to blackface spec's/cosmetics for you if that's your thing. I can only imagine a clean blackface head with a z best cabinet running side by side with your ghia. That sounds cool too.
Zoink!!
{Why am selling it? I need the $$ to make some payments on my recording studio. Otherwise, I'd never let it go. My loss is your gain. Help me out here! You'll love this amp!}- Dumbass.
However, I haven't played this model.
this is non master volume. It's not your typical boogie. more emphasis on power tube overdrive than the preamp on this one. Most boogies are very preamp oriented. You probably played a Mark 1.
If any boogie suits your style this is it. It's a stripped down Deluxe Reverb combined with the power section from a Vox AC 30 and four 10's instead of 2 Probably needs some kind of boost in front of it though to kick it up a notch.
So, the new band is meeting up on Monday for our first jam... see what shakes out...
It would be nice to put together a new band and have more fun with it... more cheesy rock moves on stage and such.

oh and this one is just too obvious.
this was after playing a ghia into a z-best they had at the shop.
which is good to learn. i prefer open backed speakers i guess.
open back is less focused, more ambient.
the tightness and focus of closed back is needed for a band situation i would imagine.
I run my tone on the Ghia completely different with the Z-best than with my previous cab...
it does cut through very well... and it helps the Ghia stand on its own with a drummer and other guitarist.
it's so responsive to every change... it is a joy to play.
