Re: Kieth Richards Amplifier
I got that sound with the Caitlin, but I'm quite sure you can get it with the Aislinn. Mine (the Caitlin) adds a tremolo feature, which you may or may not need. I happen to love it.
At $800, either of those amps would be an absolute steal! You'd be nuts not to jump at that.

Re: Kieth Richards Amplifier
Yeah, I don't care what the name on the amp is, whether people think I'm cool because I'm rocking out on a fender. After lots of dissapointments/learning experiences buying lemons I know I'll feel complete in a large way once I finally get my hands on a real amp up to snuff with the stuff used to make some classic albums. I don't think a fender reissue is going to cut it and buying a real vintage amp would cause me to wake up the morning after purchasing without testicles.:sword: My girlfriend's reasonable but she's not stupid. Celtic seems like a good middle ground. I just hope scott's still in business in a year or so. I have to save 10 grand for college before I can afford the amp of my dreams. Ideally I'll get the Caitlin for Stones type gritty rock/blues, the Edana for Clapton/Hendrix type stuff, and maybe even an orange one day for heavier stuff. I got a Les Paul already, so a Strat and Tele are on my list eventually. I know it sounds cookie cutter but I think that I can cover all the bases I need to with a setup like that.

I keep playing that clip you did of Can't You Hear Me Knocking. That's a great tone right there. Good playing too.

Re: Kieth Richards Amplifier
Yup, name matters little to me, as long as the quality is excellent, the amp will last, and the sound is what I'm after. I feel the same way about cars. I don't care who built it, as long as I know it will get me from point A to point B safely, reliably and (to some degree) comfortably for years to come. It just so happens that certain manufacturers happen to come through on those factors more consistently than others.
Few people can afford a hand-made car, but some of us can afford a hand-made amplifier. If you can, it's usually a great option to consider.
Scott's business will be around for a while, I suspect. It's what he loves to do, he does it very well, and there's always demand for it. Your choice of gear doesn't sound cookie-cutter to me; you're after the tried and true sounds. I've got a Les Paul, Strat and two Teles, plus a Kramer. Those cover all the territory I need, pretty much. There are others I'd like to have, but these are my everyday workhorses.
Same goes for amps: I've got my British classic (AC-30), Fender blackface (Super Reverb), Fender tweed (Celtic Caitlin), and high-gain monster (Mesa Rectifier). With the guitars and amps alone, I can hit 80% of the music styles out there. The right pickups and a pedal or three help as well.
Yay!!! You made my day, man. That amp gives great tone.
