What is yer favorite Fender amp(s)? My favorite is a late 50's Super
I guess it would have to be my '64 BF VibroChamp because all of the sound/tone that can come from the little 8 inch speaker, plus I can tote it around without breaking my back.
Original blackface Deluxe Reverb and Bassman amps. I've never heard the Vibroverb but I'll bet it's amazing.

One of Keith Richards old tweed twins!!!
I played an old Blackface Super Reverb a while back (Not sure of the year). I would have to say that sounded damn fine!!!

Oh Man!!! I never knew Fender made amps too!!!
Fender Tone Master
Fender Prosonic head
Fender Prosonic combo
Late 50's Tweed Bassman 4x10
Early 60's blonde/brownface 6G6 and 6G6A Bassman heads W/Tone ring cabs
Blackface Vibrolux. I love 10" speakers. Oh yeah, the custom shop VibroKing i played -- and i'm not even a vibrato guy. They just sound great.

I like my bassman, too (handwired board in a reissue -- though I'm not sure that matters).
I really dig my 6G2 Princeton and would say its my favorite at the moment. I have a hunch that I would fall in love with the tweeds.
brown Pro/Vibrasonic
brown Princeton
brown Deluxe
brown Vibrolux (see a pattern?)
BF/SF Vibrochamp
Champ II
Blackface Princetons with 12" speaker and "da voodoo treatment"
Blackface Deluxe Reverbs and DRRI's with some nice mods like better tubes and speaker.
My blackface Pro Reverb with V-30 Celestions and chassis mods by Todd Sharp, Teleboberto played that amp and liked it
A Fuchs modded Bassman reissue.
I don't think I've played enough different amps to judge.
I do love my Deluxe Reverb though. It sounds gorgeous, has simple, elegant controls, and is very portable. What more could I want out of an amp?
s'all goof.
I miss my BF Deluxe and SF Twin. Besides buying a Mercury, if I had money, I'd tell ya what I'd do, I'd go downtown and buy a shitload of Fender amps too!!!
Someday a real rain'll come and wash all the scum off the streets -

silver face master volume twins.
'64 Blackface blonde Bandmaster with 63 RI Reverb unit. Either the Jazzmaster or the Mosrite = SURF'S UP!!!! :spin
'65 Fender Tremolux. The one that got away...should have never, never sold it.
"I'm gonna find myself a girl
that can show me what laughter means
And we'll fill in the missing colors
In each other's paint-by-number dreams..."
I'm mighty fond of my '62 narrow panel tweed champ. My '74 silver face Princeton Reverb, which I've had since new, is a very close second. Not far behind either of those is my musicmaster bass amp.
"Live and learn and flip the burns"
I can't pick just one. Tweeds do rock better, but blackfaces do country more to my liking.
5E3 Deluxe and Blackface Deluxe Reverb.
I'd LOVE to play some Fenders with 10's though...
Super Reverbs, anything before the MV sounds good to me. Four tens... that's a lot of surface area.
Dang, homeboy! Where have you been?Originally Posted by Stroker Ace
the '59 bassman reissue revolutionized my tone and playing.
My friend has a '60's blackface super reverb that is probably the best sounding clean amp I have ever heard.
Someone mentioned the prosonic combo. I played one in the mid '90's that I thought was the best amp I'd heard at the time. My tastes may have changed, but from what I remember..it was nice.!

I have a pile of old Fender amp. My favorite is the '66 bassman with matching 2x12 Weber Chicago loaded cab.
My favorite Fender amp is the Vibrolux Reverb. At 33 watts, it's sits right in there between too gritty (Deluxe Reverb), and too loud (Super Reverb).

I know they aren't collectible or highly sought after, but my Concert II does it for me. No, it isn't "modern" high gain, but it does everything I want it to. It took me a while to learn using the effects loop to optimize the gain and to sweeten up the clean channel. It is PTP and trouble free....
A good, screaming Strat just might be the greatest guitar sound of all..... -Slash
Low power tweed twins, Supers, quad reverbs and a Tweed bassman.
That'll do me.
I'm a big fan of the BFVR (I've got a '66). Fits in every situation.:yay
for most things a tweed deluxe
when i play in my classic rock cover band, my modded 68 bassman thru a 4x12.
"don't worry, i'm a professional!"
I really like my '69 SFVR and '71 PR. I'd love to try a Bassman or super.

I scored a minty mint '63 brown Princeton with
original speaker and tubes for $355.00 U.S. :nicholas

My brown Pro or my brown Super.
I haven't met a 2x6L6 brown Fender I haven't liked, actually.
63-64 Transitional BF/blonde Tremolux -- fattest BF I've ever played.
mid-70's SF Princeton w/Weber 10F150T -- very pretty cleans and pedal friendly for dirt.
Favorites that I own: 68 drip edge Princeton Reverb & Super Champ.
Favorite that I've played through but don't own: 5E3 Deluxe.
Favorites that I own -'70 Vibrolux Reverb and '69 Deluxe Reverb, depending on the situation. That I don't own - my buddy's 6G2 Princeton. I really miss the '68 Princeton Reverb I once had, too.
Come to think of it..... After I heard Tele-Bob play throught my tweed Vibrolux I have a new found interest in playing the amp. I guess he has inspired me as to what the amp can do.
My new(old) 65 BF Bandmaster into my 2x10 weber Michigan cab.
1958 Fender Vibrolux Tweed. I don't own one of these, nor might it be the greatest, but it's my favorite.
I have a reworked '59 I might be willing to sell.Originally Posted by Tonefreak
Most versatile is the '65 Vibrolux Reverb used with Gatton Tele with Joe Bardens.
I have a '55 5E3 Narrow panel Deluxe that I use with a single PU Esquire clone that has an original 1950 Fender Champion 9.4K lapsteel PU.
I have a '65 Super Reverb, which is all original and could use a tweaking.
I have a narrow panel 5E5-A Tweed Pro replica NOCD built. Even though its a clone I have to say that it is the best sounding and most versatile "Fender" I own in a group that includes a 67 Vibrochamp, 63 Brown Princeton, and 74 Vibrolux Reverb.
