    Actually today I played a Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue....omg it was heavenly...I played it with a Deluxe Ash Strat...(yes people I drove 30 minutes back to GC to play that guitar for 20 minutes :D) and it was amazing...the overdrive is nice too if you want that old fender amp sound...

    I'm like obsessed with amps though...I'm in love with my Traynor YCV40WR but I still want a Rivera Suprema 55, Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue, and sometype of matchless combo :D

    oh and who ever was looking to get an Epiphone Casino...I played it today, it was REALLY nice, especially for the price

    My dad has an old tube champ 12. Traynors are nice amps as well.

    My old physics teacher was GIVEN an original, Kalamazoo, Gibson Casino. He found out it was made somewhere around '68. I myself have never played them but they sound amazing. Oh, to the Fender Amp thingy, I love them. I LOVE the reverb on them, it's amazing.

    yeah, im a die hard all tube powered fan. i cant stand solid state, its just so fake and terrible sounding to me. Tubes sound so much more raw and beautiful. the warm creamy tube distortion i get is euphoric to me. ahhh i love fender amps.

    the vibro king is heavenly. I'm a big super reverb fan and the new Bassman LTD makes me melt.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    My favourite has to be the new Twin. I played a used one of those and holy shit! If I find a used one for under 1k thats my amp.

    I just found one for $750 used......

    I'm gunna look into it, because I played the Deville and really liked that and have heard that this is even better.

    I can probably get it for lower than $750....hopefully.

    You might actually end the search! I may have as well, I played a Twin and loved it... so I'm now looking for a used one.

    Ahhh,

    This one was on there too:

    http://toronto.craigslist.org/msg/178822119.html

    You could get that for cheaper for sure....especially since it needs new tubes.

    Ya! If I can jump on one of the newer ones for about that I'll go for it. I liked the new one because the distortion sounded fantastic. It wasn't a reissue.

    Ya man go for it.....

    Like I said,

    I found a used Tweed Blues Deluxe for $750 and I think should probably be able to swing like $550 - $600...so I'm gunna go try those out tonight :)

    Those are also beckoning... I'm a sucker for that Fender Clean tone... I figured that if I got the traynor I'd want something else. If I get the twin, that is the amp.

    I dunno, that I'd want to upgrade eventually... I still need to try everything again. There are sooo many options out there, but I've narrowed it down between a used Twin or a Traynor.... I'll have to give them another whack.

    They didn't have the Blues Deluxe when I went in tonight......:(

    The guy was such an idiot.....he was like "I think that's it right there" (pointing to a Blues Junior) and I was like "oh really??" (as if I didn't know) and then he thought it was the Bassman....I hate going in there man, som many of the guys are such pricks who aren't helpful at all.

    That's why I love it here so much.

    They had the Blues Deluxe in the computer for $799 + tax

    The one I found was used for $700.....I can get that lowered for sure, I'm hoping to like $550.

    I went buy a local music chain here in Atlanta called Ken Stanton Mucic and played through Fender Super-Sonic full stack they had set up with a Fender Strat and a Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion petal it was one of the best if not the best tube amps I've played through. They are pretty pricey but I'm gonna try and get it the next time I have cash. People can say what they want about Marshalls I've always liked Fenders the best.
