bluwoodsman Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Gotta love the marketing guys..... I can see wanting a blues junior, not sure about this one though I'm sure someone will say it's "dripping with tone".
DetroitBlues Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 I love the rustic look of some of those amps. I am not willing to pay the ridiculous amount for one...
Gitfiddler Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Meh. I saw that over-priced Blues Jr. over at the Gear Page forum. It took Fender 10 years to figure out that BJ owners were willing to drop big bucks into their stock amps, customizing them like they were custom cars. (I'm guilty!!). I think they are a bit late to the game with this whiskey barrel amp cabinet. Plus the market has gotten flooded with great little grab and go amps that beat the pants off of the Blues Jr. in tone and features. Even Fender's own Princeton Reverb RI is a better sounding amp in my view.

rockabilly69 Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Well a few months ago some girl accidently spilled some tequila in my acoustic amp, is that the same thing???
koula901 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I agree! Me too. I think the Princeton sounds amazing with a strat.
schundog Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 I love the tone of a Princeton, but every Fender PRRI I have played rattled with a well-documented loose baffle or something. They can be fixed with a piece of angle-iron, but I'm not paying that much for a rattling amp. I'm just guilty of pouring too much money into my Blues Junior to get it to sound as good as it does. Yes, it sounds great now, but I probably could have made a better $ decision, had I known how much I'd have invested in the thing by this time. That said, I got a good deal on my cream board BJ brand new from GC 8 years ago or so, so, what with their price increases since then, I'm probably only in it for what a new one would cost.
bolero Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 an amp in a crate! original! yeah....Fender is ripping off Crate now, here is the original actually that looks better IMO than all the new Crates as well!
Gitfiddler Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 yeah....Fender is ripping off Crate now, here is the original actually that looks better IMO than all the new Crates as well! That amp looks like it came off of an old pirate's ship!!
golferwave Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Gotta love the marketing guys..... I can see wanting a blues junior, not sure about this one though I'm sure someone will say it's "dripping with tone". Mama told me not to buy one.
smokedtires Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 I like the look. Had a Blues Jr but sold it before it dropped to much $ into it trying to make it something it wasn't.
Blunote Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Well a few months ago some girl accidently spilled some tequila in my acoustic amp, is that the same thing??? Probably adds more mojo than the coke-cola that came with one of mine. Took a fair bit of elbow grease to clean it up.
