Re: Please advise: Blue Angel head for a '76 strat?

Hmmm, do I NEED that amp?

-well it would be good to be able to go into the studio over the next few months with a few more tones at my disposal, and I really should have a backup amp in case my Vibrolux needs to go into the shop. there's also the pleasures of the multi-amp setup to think about, too.

I also have three strats right now. My 57ri does all my gigging/recording work, and the 76 gets played unplugged around the house. It's the king of beat-up strats, as far as looks goes, but is that enough to justify keeping it?

As for the fave neck thing, It's true, but my tele and PRS have fantastic necks too, so it's not like I'd suffer too greatly. jumbo refrets on my strats would go a long way to improving them, too.

Well, to me it already looks like you've made up your mind. In that case, I think you should do the swap :smoker:

OK, I've taken the plunge and consented to the swap. I should be swathed in multi-amp fatness by the weekend...

Yeah, who cares about strats. You can change those like underwear, and 9 times outta 10, end up with a better one each time. Running a Dual amp setup with your Fender and Boogie will be sweeter than anything.

haha, I DO change strats like underwear.

I'm thinking of having a luthier friend put together a cab for it, seeing as a matching blue leather/tan grill mesa cab woul be an expensive custom import.
