Hey hey [strawberry], before you turn this thread into another flamed and ruined one, I command you to stop it.  All opinions are welcome - whether it comes from someone who has played a thousand tube amps or one who has played only several. The phrase "all ears" takes on a new meaning here. Thanks.
I'd rather be sharp than flat.

Hey very nice info guys! Thanks!  

By the way, I contacted that German prick Tom (yes, he can be bery rude on the phone) and told me that he has several amps that fit my budget:

1971 Fender Champ - 12w, 1x8in speaker.

1995 Fender VibroSonic - 120w, 1x15in speraker.

Fender Bassman 10 - Forgot the wattage, 4x10 in. speaker.

Musicman 112RD - 65w, 1x12in speaker.

Now, any opinions on this? I know I'm getting to be very annoying but I REALLY want to make sure that the money I spend on this amp will be worth it because this'll be my first tube amp.


1971 Fender Champ.. --> do you really want a 70s amp? and with a single 8" speaker.. i dunno.. is this the one with justa  volume and tone pot? no Eq..

VibroSonic.. no comment, never heard/seen/tried one..

Fender Bassman.. --> this could be the shizzle.. but from a Fender Blues Deville 410 that i tried, it kinda lacked bass..but then that's what the bass player is for..  might be a bit expensive tho.. reissue or orig?

Musicman.. No comment.

I tell you, none of those amps have anything on the Peavey..

i say peavey all the way.. again ymmv. i just think the peavey is a better all around amp.. refer to caloyburger's post.. just ignore "oasgomez" he might get you to buy a bogner.
