Doctor Wha 04-16-2007, 07:09 AM Don't need one myself, but here's a bump for actual tubes. :buttrock
Good luck! :thumbup:
:cool
WytLytnyn 04-16-2007, 08:53 AM As a vintage Fender amp freak(I own two early silverfaces- Deluxe Reverb "blackface spec", and a VibroChamp), I have to say that these Deluxes and DeVilles were some of the best Fenders that were turned out since the mid-70's. They were a necessary response to Peavey's Classic 50 series (which were the best Peavey's ever made). Great for running alot of effects through. Absolutely rips with a great tube overdrive pedal and some eq tweaking.
Good luck with the sale. I'd buy it - but I'm jonesin' for a Soldano AstroVerb or a MESA Blue Angel!
BMVV4Life 04-16-2007, 01:36 PM Dam Wytlytnyn sounds like you have quite the arsenal! tubes are the only way to go. Before I bought mine i thought there wasn't a big difference but now that i've had it for a year and a half I just can't get enough of the warm tube sound. I warn most of my friends against them actually because once you go tube you never go back. Well worth the extra $$
WytLytnyn 04-16-2007, 02:52 PM Yeah, once you've gotten bitten by the tube bug, its hard to go back to solid-state. I detest digital modeling amps (with the exception of the Cyber Twin) and love old analog effects. Let me know if any of you tube heads want to come over and piss off the neighbors with my stuff!
If you really want to see a little sweet tube amp check out the www.torresengineering.com site and check out their 3.5 watt Mini-Boogie amp. You can hook it up to another amp or a separate cab and just let it rip with full tube saturated glory without them calling the cops! They also have some sweet tube effects and different tubes you can swap into your preamp section (12AX7's usually). They also have cool mod kits for old Fenders.
I'm putting away for a Soldano Astroverb (20 watts) and a 1x12 Boogie cab for the last amp I'll ever buy......I think...:devillook
BMVV4Life 04-16-2007, 05:21 PM the last amp I'll ever buy......I think...:devillook
I've tried that "last thing" multiple times...it works untill another great deal comes up. I try to explain it but no one seems to understand the need for 8 guitars and 3 amps (besides my musically inclined friends of course).

Hear, hear! :rofl
Story of my musical life! :D
:cool
WytLytnyn 04-17-2007, 01:58 PM I believe we suffer from what they call "G.A.S" or Gear Acquisition Syndrome.
I feel it kicking in hardest when I'm walking past the displays of effects pedals in the little shops that have the really cool Electro-Harmonix pedals and real tube distortion pedals or the "vintage" room at the Guitar Center when I originally intended to walk in, buy a pack of Dean Markley's and walk out. Two hours and several hundred dollars later, I've got the strings and some new thing that I'll have drive the neighbors insane as well as make me late for work and the gym with for several weeks.
Boozie D. Clown 04-17-2007, 02:02 PM Ditto. 14 guitars, 1 amp though.
Doctor Wha 04-17-2007, 02:10 PM Hm. Buncha guitars in here... :ponder
Okay, rhythm section represent! :redspot
6 basses (at last count) two amps, 3 drum sets, assorted other what-nots. And since one of the drum sets is a Roland V-drum system, even my drums have two amps! :D
:buttrock
BMVV4Life 04-17-2007, 02:37 PM dam. we should have a bf.c atlanta jam session one of these days!! although combining music and cars may not be a good idea as we will likely be there for weeks.
Well down in my layer i've got 7guitars 1 bass 4amps drumset mini keyboard and some recording stuff....i'm begining to outgrow my basement!

:rofl
The hard part is getting all those drums / basses / amps into a Z4. :eyecrazy :help
Although I did manage to get the drums into the MINI a couple of times! :buttrock
:D
I have two guitars and an amp. And two effects pedals. I feel like a noob. :rofl
I used to play bass too. And I was skinny back in the day:

Cwaters 04-17-2007, 03:44 PM I have a guitar and practice amp at home.
At work though? OMG
How about some base cabs with 4 18s each, for starters?
:devillook :buttrock :evil2 :alright :redspot :eyecrazy :nono :nono :nono :nono :D
BMVV4Life 04-17-2007, 05:12 PM I guess thats where the minivan comes in handy haha. As much as i hate it it is nice to be able to move all the recording stuff with everyones instruments.
Cwaters- where do you work????
And back on topic.. Anyone need a sweet tube amp??
BMVV4Life 04-17-2007, 05:25 PM quick pic to make you drool

Can you say Tube power????
BMVV4Life 04-19-2007, 09:36 AM still available
kaamacat 04-19-2007, 09:43 AM We've got a Fender Blues Deluxe (tube) here a friend of mine sold that was never used a few years ago.....tweed covered, out-of-the-box new (he had one as a spare).......... there's nothing like the sound that comes from a tube amp. (I kinda compare it to "old-school" records, you just cant duplicate the sound on a CD........the mechanicals of the tubes themselves.....)
And your right.... cant compare the low power rating on a tube to non-tube, totally different animules........
If any of you junkies need any stuf at G/C , lemme know. I get unspeakable discounts there.

Should have mentioned this when they had the Peart replica drum sets. :stickoutt
;)
Boozie D. Clown 04-19-2007, 11:46 AM If any of you junkies need any stuf at G/C , lemme know. I get unspeakable discounts there.
Hmmmm. I've been thinking about adding either a Taylor, Martin, or Takamine electric acoustic to the collection. :devillook Although the wife wants me to sell a few before I buy another one.
BMVV4Life 04-19-2007, 04:55 PM phsh sell a few. Good luck getting me to do that haha. Taylor's FTW. I have a 110 (basic model) and it's amazing. IMO way better sound than martins for 400 more. Ohh and look at seagul's too they tend to be really good

As in Neil Peart from Rush? The acoustic/electric/xylophone set from "Show of Hands"? That would kick more azz than anything that has kicked azz before......

Yes, Neil Peart, but not ASOH. Those were his white Ludwigs.
There were a limited number of DW (heh!) R30 kits released. There were (are?) 30 of them, complete with gold-plated stands, and the Paragon cymbals. Essentially, it's everything the Professor had that DW & Sabian made (meaning no Roland Vdrums out back, and no MIDIKat).
They were priced, if I recall correctly at about 30k per kit. I seriously considered getting one of them, but with three sets already, and a house bursting at the seams with stuff, I'd have had to build an addition onto the place just to hold them. :eyecrazy
That, and when I suggested the idea, GP kept looking at me like this: :shifty
Here's GC's page about them, but don't drool too much on your keyboard:

Actually, it was more a combination of :shifty and :rolleyes and :nono.
:stickoutt

I need an unspeakable discount on any Soldanoes that make their way through the "Good Stuff" room in the back corner. Also, any old Silverface Fenders....

Still...

BMVV4Life 04-20-2007, 05:07 PM i could always use a g/c discount
