How many vintage Fender amp users?

Recommended Posts

I've been a Fender man all my life except for a small period using a classic Peavey and Victoria 35310. I currently have 71 Princeton Reverb and a 75 Vibro Champ. For years I had a 70 twin. I just can't find the sound with another amp.

I'm a big Fender woman, literally and figure-atively. It's not vintage, but I love Fender amps and currently have a Blues Jr (about 7 yrs old).

I'd like to get a Princeton clone at some point, but for now, the FBJr is good enough.

Silverface Vibrolux Reverb (blackfaced) here. Formerly Yoslate's.

Mint condition, sweet sounds.

Wow it looks brand new. I would love to find one at a good price.

I've had a '53 Tweed Champ, '65 Princeton Reverb, '66 Vibrolux Reverb, '65 Bassman, '66 Bassman, '76 Vibrolux Reverb (Lyle's, now, pictured above). Nearly snagged a '62 Concert a couple of months ago, but was doing a guitar build. Argh! That was a fabulous amp!

I have had a silverface Champ and a silverface Bassman head, but they are both gone. I should have kept the Bassman, which I got for $3 at a garage sale, because it didn't work because it didn't have a fuse in it! I traded it for a fully functional Peavey Classic 30. Right move? Meh.. I love the Fender sound, vintage or otherwise, and a Fender amp or clone is almost always my go-to sound, clean or dirty. I currently have a 5E3 clone, a DRRI, a heavily BillM-modded Blues Junior, and a few others that emulate Fenders. I'd love a vintage Princeton Reverb, Deluxe Reverb, or Super Reverb.... Or all three.....

Currently I have no "vintage" Fenders (except my Telecaster) but I do have (and use daily) an SS-100 that I really like more then any amp I've ever owned, and that's a lot in the last 45+ years.

Kuz- what type of speaker is in the deluxe....reminds me of a JBL cone but I'm assuming that's not the case.

 

Cosmetically, I love the tease of that silver dome through the cloth.

 

This thread is not what I needed right now.
