That's the ticket, Ren.
I would still love to hear a couple clips of the Croc O Tweed and P-90's.
I had a few quality minutes with my old Taylor 810 today.
What happend?

I played an outdoor home bbq gig with my 5E3 clone, Tele clone and Epi 335. My amp wasn't mic'd and during sound check the bass went out into the audience to listen to the band (he was wireless). Moments later, I saw his hand go by me and turn up the bright channel volume on my amp. He obviously had little experience with a tweed Deluxe and that had little effect on how loud I was.I turned down the other channel and got the result he was looking for.
Later, I played another band's guitarist's Les Paul through his Marshall DSL40C. His pickup switch was spun around backwards so I didn't dare touch it. The amp was on the dirty channel and the clean channel was too quiet so I just rode the guitar's volume control. It was fun!

A Peavey Valveking 100 watt head through a Fender 1-12 cab. Nice 100 watt head that I got for $150. The gig was outdoors with threat of rain so the Peavey subbed for my Mesa. Best budget rig I ever had. 80 watt cab was $100, and a Ibanez 4-12 was another $150.

This morning I gave this set a workout......

It's been a while since I've played through my Vibrolux Reverb! Maybe tonight...
Bought my Rivera Chubster 40 16 years ago and haven't looked back since. Tone to the bone!
We've got the CuNiFe
My son's little Super Champ XD. Makes a perfect bedroom practice amp and I needed a little slapback echo for the lines in Queen's "Crazy little thing called love" we're doing. The XDs effects are passable for practicing.
Need to buy a delay pedal now.

Plugged my Rickenbacker 330-6 (Jetglo) into my Bedrock 1200 series 4x10.
An identical amp just went on Ebay, for those interested in seeing.

Tonight, I'm going big-time (for me).
It'll be my Gretsch, Fender Tele-Deluxe, and Gibson SG through both the AC15 and the tweed BluesJr. It's our biggest gig of the year, and we're bringing out the big guns.

Jimmie Vaughan Strat into '68 Pro Reverb dry channel, volume on 4, treble on 10, bass on 0, neck pickup, guitar vol between 7 - 10, tone around 7. Picking near the bridge ala Kid Ramos. Holy Crap!
Then, with the same setup except picking over the neck pu, played Tony Joe White's version of Poke Salad Annie and added occasional whammy bar wiggles. Marvelous.

I have several amps but am a Blackface 6L6 Fender amp nut and my latest squeeze is a '64 Pre-CBS AA864 Bassman head and I LOVE IT. I use it with it's matching cab with reissue Jensens (originals long gone), or my Marshall cab with 4 75w Celestions (stock to the cab). The Jensens are great for country and old blues, for heavier country or rock n' roll the Celestions are great.
The Bassman is a great loud clean platform headroom amp for my pedals and I love it. It doesn't get better for me than a Bassman clean with a Nobels ODR-1 pedal with a Tele bridge pickup for the stuff I do. An Ibanez Mostortion is ace too for a higher gain vibe. Those two are the main drives.
Kept it simple today......
My Buddy Holly tribute Strat through the blonde Spankmaster.
My brother recently sent me a pair of vintage GZ34's (one Amperex, one Sylvania) and I wanted to check them for serviceability. They measured good on my TV-7A and both passed the operational "smoke test" with flying colors.

Still waiting for you to inherit it after I assume room temperature, TJ.

Whelp, the Tweed BJr. and Vox AC15 combo sounded great - but something in my pedalboard was inducing some noise.
Never mind that the band played its loudest gig yet - I think I need to just bring a mic and one amp - and a backup modeler pedal just in case - because there was way too much stage volume. The other guitarist uses a HRDx and it's louder than bombs. The gig was great but I had to crank both my amps just to hear myself.
You can just see my Vox and Fender behind me...we had twice as much PA because this was outside, and it proved to be too much.

No pics yet but I just practiced through a Tech 21 Trademark 10 that I picked up cheap. It's the second on that I've had. They're cheap, light, versatile, convenient and they sound good.

My modded MIJ '72ri Strat into a Mesa F-30 with Mesa Thiele ext cab. This is my #1 rig.

Didn't spend much time with it but a TV front tweed Peavey something or other. Might have had a 15" in it? At a friends house looking at gear and we decide to play a tune before I had to leave. He tempted me with an old Travis Bean 1000 Artist. Yea, one of those old aluminum necked jobs that the neck heel runs all the way to the bridge. It was neck heavy, had practically a flat fretboard radius and kept going out of tune as my hand warmed up the alloy neck.
The amp was ok, didn't get to crank it but the cleans were good. The guitar? To ma a novelty I'm glad I had a chance to play with, but not anything I'd care to use.

Is the F-30 a head or a combo with a 12 in it? I use my Mesa Studio .22+ 1x12" combo with my Mesa EVM12L Thiele cab. I have an Eminence Private Jack (that I got form Kap'n) in the amp and they sound great together!
For yesterday's gig, which had a pretty bad schlep as part of it (double-park in front, carry gear up 20 steps, then 40 yards to door, then around a few corridors/rooms out to the back deck) I just brought a nice small but versatile rig...
My NOS Blues Jr. and one of my 3 Vox AC10's.
Mic'ed the BlJr but forgot to flip the mic to the on position. Still cut through nicely. The Vox, besides looking cool, enables me to have a backup and add a touch more stage poke without mic'ing the amp or turning up the other (mic'ed) amp.
Guitars were Mexi-Strat and Mexi-Tele-Deluxe through my standard pedalboard (Vox Wah => TS9 => Super Overdrive => Whirlwind "The Bomb" =>BBE Tremor Pedal => TC Nova Repeater (delay, unused yesterday).
It was a hot one but we kept cool with some Coronas.

Looks like it was a swell gig, RJ!
Good tunes, cold beer, and happy people......who could ask for more?
"When injustice becomes law then rebellion becomes duty."
Well, we didn't ask but we DID get more - free shots, a decent amount of pay, and an incredible view of tanned female beauty walking by in various stages of beach (un)dress.
If OSA woulda been on this gig, he woulda smiled so broad, for so long, that his cheeks woulda been sore.

We all would've for that matter!
I took my newest sweetheart to a little jam yesterday and she performed well, up against a bassist with a tone-ring Showman and a keyboard player using a Roland JC120. We weren't playing all that loud but the little 1 x 15 Princeton piggyback had plenty of reserve power should I have needed it. I think she's a winner.

I went economy and played my Squire CV 50's Tele through a Blackstar HT5 combo, learning the solo from Take it Easy.

Wow..I haven't heard that company Guyatone since I left Japan 50 years ago! That's one sweet Hawaiian guitar!
My first electric guitar was a brand new red 1960 Guyatone and an Echo tube amp 2x12" cabinet like a Fender Bandmaster copy. Five years later I got a Fender Jazzmaster! It was such a big jump in ease of playability for me (and mentally of course).
Back to the thread: I just play my ES339 unplugged most of the time...but use my Am Strats at weekly jams.

I'm still recovering, but I managed to thrash about for awhile tonight.

What happend?
