[Harp-L] re: new or used gear




If you're buying used, I'd stay away from the blackface Fender Bandmaster and Bassman.A lot of money for a mediocre amp.If you buy a twin, bear in mind the thing weighes nearly a hundred pounds. Nice amp. I like the Pro Reverb. It's a little lighter (a mere eighty pounds). Sounds really nice with an SM 57. When I hit the big time I'm buying one of Sonny's new amps.It's a shame it doesn't come in tuck and roll and roll vinyl.


Also if you buy a blackface bassman or bandmaster the odds are good you're getting an amp head and a speaker cabinet. This is good for weight, you can make two trips, but if you should space out and turn the amp on without the speaker connected...kiss your amp goodbye.

Anyone with a heavy amp should check this out
