You're cut off. You've had your tweed chances! You're a blackface guy and we've been in a Tweed craze these last few years... You just need to enter a 12 step Tweed Program. :laughing:

Greg, Im tellin ya...you should just suck it up and get that Victoria 20112 we played when Luke was here...that puppy sounds amazing!
 
Re: Nice clean Bandmaster Reverb available on TGP

pfft...all he needs is a backup to his Vibrolux. He's obviously set with his amp, and that's a great thing! He knows his tone. He needs a back up Vibrolux and then be done with it, or run Vibrolux's...in STEREO!!! A beautiful thing.

Nah...Greg's not much of a backup kind of guy, Greg is a "I like this amp all the time but I would like something that sounded completely different that I can use now and then for a different tone" kind of guy. However, he likes to keep on trying differnt flavors...no biggie, he'll find another amp that he really digs soon enough.
 
Re: Nice clean Bandmaster Reverb available on TGP

hehe, all that searching would completely wear me out. I can't think of many flavors he hasn't tried (with the exception of high gain, and we all know he's not really going there (although he did have that Mesa/Boogie Rect-o-verb)).

Ahh...not true!!! There are a MILLION cool amps out there Greg has not even thuoght about. Greg has tried to get on with some Mesa stuff, a few Tweeds, and a double fisted handful of little 18 watters but there are LOADS of different flavors out there...

True, but he's tried all of the basics...tweed, blackface, silverface, marshall-esque, low watters, gain monsters, etc.

Maybe a Victoria would be good for him...or a Matchless, or a ...man, there's so many variations on a theme here. ...

Hmm....BUDDA!!! He hasn't tried a Budda yet :) Those are killer amps.

It doesn't wear me out since I have the Lux. If i didn't have the Lux I would be worn out. My 2nd amp will always be a toy that is subject to the chopping block.

The Bandmaster is too similar to the Lux plus it was in such great condition when I got it it needed no work. How boring is that!! I guess that's why the Lux is so close to my heart. I had to put research, a few misc. parts, tubes, speakers, caps and update some cosmetics to get it to where it is. It wasn't always as killer as it is now. I guess the Lux is sentimental too!! It is very rare for me to get a hold of a sentimental guitar item.

Bbent should definately go with a Hiwatt next.

Yeah whatever that little amp was it was bad to the bone. I need to just break down and get that Double Deluxe or get a V Front. In reality I could never do the V Front because I would feel like a douche with you having yours. I know I like tweed, but just gotta find the right one for me. maybe a Tweed Vibrolux???? That would be cool!!!

Man I understand completely! I had a Bandmaster Reverb and I got it *because* it was so similar to a vibrolux and that's all I could afford at the time. I ran it through a 1x15 cab and tried really hard to get SRV tones which were so far beyond me at the time....but c'est la vie. You're becoming a wealth of first hand knowledge on some great amps in the meantime. When I got ready to buy my Dr. Z, you were the first person I came to :)

a Tweed Vibrolux is a real low wattage amp (it's only about 10-12 watts...) however Bruce is doing a bigger tweed with tremolo, I've talked with him a few times about it and it sounds like a killer amp.
 
Re: Nice clean Bandmaster Reverb available on TGP

I think you need a Franklin. It's got the Fender cleans and a weird combo of vox/marshall dirty.

I'm not sure if tweeds are something you can live with for very long.

Greg can't HANDLE the Silvertone! :laughing:

Bro I think you are making the right decision. When you bought it I scratched my head wondering what you were going to do with it.

I think you should go with another Bad Cat or get a Fuchs.

Not many people CAN handle the Silvertones...killer amps though!

My vote goes to an old Silvertone, Dano, Supro, Valco, or something else old and strange
