Amp Wish Lists?

[barrymclark]

What happened to BMC Starlite?

Same amp.

[barrymclark]

 

Closest guitarist comes first, You may get your's first, but I since I'm his unofficial quality assurance representative, I'll have to demo it prior to shipping...

 

That's fine. Break in the speaker and I require a tone report after your hearing comes back.

Monster amp!

 

do they still make the jazz chorus?

[yoslate]

I could go for that lat 50s Bandmaster, too.

 

 

Could have had one a couple of months ago...for $1300. Friend had it in his shop. Played it a couple of times. Everything original, including, apparently, the tubes. Beautiful creamy, warm tone, and a tremelo deep as the Marianas Trench. The blonde tolex was a mess...looked like it'd served as a counter at Starbuck's for about fifty years. Anyway, Tatum couldn't sell it, and the price kept coming down. Decided one night just to buy the thing. Went in a couple of days later, after the amp had sat for about six months, and, of course, it was gone....

Amp wish list, hmmm, let's see . . . .

 

 

that would be a Two Rock Gainmaster 35

[smurph1]

The thread Mark posted about the Mesa Boogie 5:50 got me thinking about an amp Christmas list.

 

What amps would I have in my dream man-cave?

 

In no particular order:

• I'd keep my Cube. Just sounds too good to let go.
  
• Rivera Jazz Suprema 55
  
• Nocturne Blondeshell
  
• Trillium Empyrean
  
• Polytone MiniBrute IV (prefer an older one)
  
• Gibson GA-40(or 42 whichever)
  
• KBP Starlite
  
• Mesa-Boogie (TransAtlantic, 5:50 or Mark IV)
  
• Carvin Belair
  
• VHT Standard 18
  
• Little Dawg Wonderdawg
  

Off the top of my head, that's my list. Short as it may be. haha.

 

Well let's see the long list..LOL..As for me, probably a Carr Rambler, or a Juke combo.. either one of those would be great for me

[barrymclark]

Yes, sir, they do!

Wait I forgot an AC-30!! Is it too late? (and someone to carry it for me..)

[DetroitBlues]

Huh? Did you say something?

[bolero]

I'd like to get an old '64 top boost AC30 someday

 

 

but could survive without it

[NoNameBand]

Probably an 18 watt 212 vintage Marshall Bluesbreaker combo, Egnator Renegade, Fender vintage tweed twin 40 watts.

[TalismanRich]

What happened to the ToneKing Metropolitan? It must not have rocked your boat at PSP, eh??

[Trouble]

For me,

KBP 810 reverb deluxe

Original Fender Vibro Verb

Dr. Z Maz

Original Top Boost AC 30

Bogner Extasy

Original Fender Bandmaster

Marshall JCM 800

 

Not too exotic I got simple taste.

[212Mavguy]

Have too many amps and tubes already. Gots jonesing for a real Leslie guitar cab.

[rjsanders]

got everything i need or would want.

for a wishlist, i'd get this, sell it and invest in a nice hedge fund, maybe cop some nifty CDOs or something

 

[JeffB]

I just want one amp and speaker combo that does "it"..

One that gets cleans that are fat and warm, has shimmer, chime, and a 3d quality and doesn't break up doesn't matter how loud.

A gain that goes from just getting fury to a full on crunch and a saturated gain that doesnt loose definition.

I have all those things but theyre split up into about 5 different amps and its annoying.

[koula901]

That's still a nice amp - for me, the 2Rock is just a little bit better, and a little bit lighter, and, maybe I like the voicing a bit more.

both great amps.

[koula901]

have to add vox ac 30

[H]

Blackstar Artisan 30

Tungsten Crema Wheat (even though my Limey amp is in the same sonic territory)

Marshall 'Bluesbreaker' 18W combo

Mesa/Boogie TA-30

 

Any or all would be fine

Were you playing my KBP Reverb Deluxe... Sure sounds like it....

[Wolfi]

My favourite amps are Rivera R 55 and Fender Prosonic.

 

I now use a HOOK Captain 6L6 100 W Top (great handmade amp from the Netherlands).

 

Last week I aquired a RIVERA Clubster 25 (1 x 10). I love the sound of the clean channel.

I don't feel to convinient with the sound of channel 1. For me it's a bit to "hissy", especially when I pull the boost knob. Without the boost, I miss gain.

Yesterday I plugged a MI Audio Crunch Box into the amp. I used it with the clean channel and it sounded awesome.

Maybe I leave it like this and use Channel 1 only for the crunchy sounds. That would make a 3 channel amp out of this little monster .

[rjsanders]

on a more cereal note (& lotsa notes), i could have (via "long-term loan")

1. a custom Krinard (Two-Rock) based on D. Lindley's 70's Dumbles
   
2. a custom Krinard (Two-Rock) prototype of the TS-1
   
3. a Bruno tweed deluxe combo w/Celestion Blue
   
4. a Dr. Z Z-Wreck & cab
   
5. others
   

but don't bother, cuz i have:

 

 

& that does it for me. on top of that (or rather next to) are a stupifying great group of Heritage amps, incl. Colonial, Briton II, & Victory

 

honestly, i feel a little sheepish having all this sonic greatness around. but i'll cope

 

(happy to share w/anyone in the area who wants to stop by)

KBP "Cavern Club 30!!"

[smurph1]

Gotta say..I was playing through my old Gibby amp this morning..No pedals..Just guitar, cable and amp..3 hours later I was still jammin!!

can well imagine. friend of mine serviced amps & collected old Gibsons among others (except the 6QB5 ones - he hated EL84s. crazy, but there ya go)...he had every model from the 50's and quite a few from the 60's. anyway he said the cabs of all the old combos were made of redwood...maybe that's part of the secret sauce. love those old Gibbies...
