WTB: Small Tube Amp.

[hamerhead]

I'm looking for a small tube head or combo (single 12 or 2-10s). I'd prefer a small 30W-60W Fender combo, but will consider anything Fender-ish (looking more for warm and clean than high gain).

Whatcha got stashed?

[Kilroy is all about...]

The chap I sold my Duncan 84-40 (el84 ~ 40watt) 2-10 combo was asking me if I wanted to buy it back. Very clean....Fenderish/Voxish. I'll see him Friday and ask if he's willing to ship.

How about a Musicman RD65 112 made in 1980? Hard to get closer to Fenderish without buying a Fender.

Those blues jrs are cool!

There's still a bunch of good deals on vintage stuff out there, I recently saw a '62 Tremolux head at a shop online for about $800 (non-original trans.), but geez, the good tube trem circuit and tube rect, -sound like a great deal. My friend recently got a very similar head and cab, it's fantastic.

A place near me has a blackface Bassman head for $375 with the wrong grillcloth, - I should buy that to sit next to my '68 ...

A couple of late 60's blackface Bandmaster heads recently moved on craigslist for mid $400s too.

I was just running my late 70's champ through a 4 ohm 2x12 marshall cab, it's a whole lot louder than you would expect, -sounds really great too (with my Hamer Studio Custom loaded with Rios). Those amps are readily available for around $300. Be a little patient and low $200's are around too.

Early '80s Concerts are no more than $500, I doubt I could get more than $400 for my head. Those are nice and fendery.

The Blues Jr. only has 15-18 watts.... I had one for a while.

If that's enough (he states 30 watts on up,) then I'd highly recommend the Carvin 16 like I'm using now. If he wants to push more serious air, he can step up to the Nomad.

Wow, haven't heard anyone else mention the Duncan 84-40. My first tube amp was a 1x12 version Damn great amp. Loud as hell though...

There's a used Peavey Classic 30 on chrisguitars that might fit the bill for you. I owned a Classic 50 years ago and it was a good "Fender-ish" amp for a decent price...the Classic 30 most likely is too.

Thanks guys!

I'm chewin' on a couple. More later......

[BadJaxx]

i just sold a Carvin Nomad pretty cheap which would have fit the bill...

but i would recommend a Fender Blues Deluxe....one of my fave amps....their clean is a bit nicer than the Hot Rod version....i checked out a reissue the other day and it sounded great....a mint one just sold on ebay for $400....i was very tempted to buy it even though i have an original...
