Rivera Chubster Cheap?

Re: Rivera Chubster Cheap?

Get it!!!!!!!

reason?

it's called a "Chubster." you can afford to take a chance. If I had piles of cash, I would get it for that reason alone, never having heard of such a product name before. I would love to tell people if they asked me about my gear, "Yup. Playing thru a Chubster right now." That would be the coooolest thing to say.

don't think you can go wrong with Rivera anyway.
 
Re: Rivera Chubster Cheap?

actually, it's not for me. i have enough gear already... well except for that malmsteen strat and jackson sl2h i've been eying. a guy from work likes to play jazz and stuff, so i was digging around for some amps to show him. that rivera seemed to fit the bill. the sound sample was awesome, so i thought i'd see what you guys think.
 
Re: Rivera Chubster Cheap?

I have no idea what a new Chubster goes for but I like those amps a lot. A few years ago I was looking for a "Rake" head which has a fairly classic voicing & had been discontinued for a while... I liked the Chubster a lot & was going to have them build me a head version when I found a NOS Rake Reverb that a dealer wanted to liquidate.

For a jazz or jazz/fusion cat, yeah... Chubster would be great. It'll cover all those tones with ease & do the heavy rock thing as well. I know a guy playing in a Steely Dan band around these parts and he's got a Chubster...

Oh yeah, that made me laugh out loud. And it's so true. Who wouldn't want to be playing through a Chubster?



Cheers.................................wahwah

In a similar fashion, I've always wanted a Fargen amp. Or perhaps a Fuchs. Not so interested in a Koch, though.

I don't know how Ben Fargen resisted calling his amp models things like 'unbelievable' and 'unreal'...

Screw the Chubster?

Sounds painful to me, but whatever gets you through the night...
 
Re: Rivera Chubster Cheap?

honestly, the new fender Jazz ultralight amp is AMAZING sounding, I'd definitely say look into one of those..

Great for jazz, very lightweight and portable.
