Help me pick an amp

[random_guy]

Ok, I have a blues junior and I love it, but I think I want something louder and a head as opposed to a combo. I want fender cleans, it has to be able to take a tubescreamer well, and under 500 dollars. I doubt I'll need anything more than 60 watts. Something for small clubs and venues. thanks

You might want to look for a used silverface Bandmaster-Reverb head on Ebay. Handwired. I think they came in a nonmaster volume version. Maybe not. I'd go for the non-master volume version if you can find one. Fender's master volume from those days (mid 70's) is pretty lame.

Hmmm old Bandmaster or Bassman heads

I actually do like the HotRod and Blues Deluxe as they are durable.
Mesa Boogie Blue Angel if you can find it used.

Thanks a lot, I'll be keeeping my eye on some of those amps. Do you know what is a good price for them?
