It's about time for one of these threads, I think.

Mine are my Gretsch "Historic Series" Streamliner and half a Vox AC30. Mainly because they are the only real peices of gear I have at present, unless you count Classical Acoustic and Roland Microcube.

However, should all go well, I'll have a Les Paul Junior this time next month. Ohhhhh yeah.

Let's hear it then, fellas.

Guitar: Fender Stratocaster, bound telecaster or a LP DC Special with P90s
Amp: Either a Fender Bassman or a Fender Twin

Dull I know - but that is the combination I love!

My favourite guitar is probably the Zion electric I have now. For an amp I'd like to have a Hughes and Kettner Tri-Amp or even one of their other valve amps. The best amp I ever owned was a 100 watt DSL head with a 1960A cab.

What are those Bassmans(men) like, by the way? I've never tried one, but they've got this status as The Best Amp Ever, for some reason. I'd quite like to know why...

I can't really pic a favorite. It depends on my mood and what music I wanna play. My fave and only amp is my Fender Hot Rod. (Bassman descendant)

If you've never tried a bassman or a good clone, do it. It's the granddaddy of almost every amp out there.

how much do hot rods cost?

Ratrod · « **Reply #9 on:** January 19, 2006, 07:04:14 PM »

A Hot Rod is about 780 Euros wich is about 580 quid I think. That's for the single speaker 40W deluxe. If you don't have a speker cabinet, go for the slightly more expensive deville with two or four speakers.

how does that work out for you? I'm very interested in one of those guitars, they seem pretty reasonable for the price.

My favourite guitar owned Ric 360-12

Favourite guitar played late 50s Double Cut Jr or 76 Firebird V

Favourite amp owned Fender Blues Jr
Best amp played old black face Champ (I think it was but it was pure Billy gibbons sound if not playing anyway)

Best effect ever played with Binson echorec

Most wanted a nice 63 strat or Jag, SG Jr or Firebird V & AC 30 TB or dirty little Fender
