My response has always been...

"this gear all makes me money. Do you not want your holidays and presents?"

I agree with nfe.Over the years I am definately more than "quids in" and my gear, whatever it happens to be at any time, has paid for itself many times over. Fortunately Mrs 38th is very encouraging to the extent that she is still trying to get me to fork out on a Resonator.

Guess the reason I started this thread is I'm considering buying or swapping my Silver Jubilee for a different amp - I dont think it's quite the sound I'm after - dont get me wrong I love a Marshall roar, especially the Silver Jubilee / JCM800 series, but every time I hear say a Mesa I'm like - that's the sound I want!

Main reson I'm keeping the Jubilee is that they are becoming collectable... but I'm definatley considering a swap / new purchase - so finding what everyone else uses is great. Loads of variety on this thread! Keep 'em coming... my ebay searches have gone on meltdown since this thread opened...

i have the same feeling towards marshalls as you - it sounds pretty cool, but its not perfect. but when i hear a Laney, my mouth waters.

Ive gotten a hold of a Genz Benz from arizona, USA. Usable for all kinds of music. Even had Jazz players playing on it, with their jaws dropping to their feet.

100W, four El34`s, 3 12 AX7, It has absolutely EVERYTHING your heart desires.

Why not??? :P :D :D :D

I record 100% more than I play live. I'm an insurance salesman. I don't move my gear very often.

Silver Jubilee 1x12 50 with Celestion Sidewinder and 1x12 Ear Candy extension cab (also with Sidewinder). I find the Silver Jubilee is very speaker intolerant, the Sidewinders really bring out the tone.

Fender Princeton II with Tone Tubby Alnico Hempcone
Fender Blackface Princeton Reverb

Lots of John McIntyre amps, Bluesbreaker, Studio 205, SP3 Prince O'Wails and the Lexicon Signature 284, to say nothing of the ones still at his place.

Mini Mat with 1x12 cab with Heritage G12M

Custom 5/8 watt amp which is just waiting for an EarCandy 2x10 cab.

Avatar 2x12 with Eminence Tonespotters and lots of other speaker cabs.

Trace Elliott BLX for bass

I use a Vox VR30 amp, it's a great sounding combo with a huge amount of BALLS, and I've not even modded it yet. It's a hybrid solid state/valve amp, and it's the best amp I've ever heard for £100. period.

I used to own a Fender Blonde Deluxe limited edition with a 12 inch Jensen C12N that sounded amazing! I should have kept it, but I owed my dad some cash. I shouldn't have sold it, still regret it to this day. It was beautifull.

In an ideal world I'd own an Orange AD5, the new Vox AC15 (with variable outputs), Dr Z, Hiwatt, Matchless, or a Mesa Boogie Mk III. I like the sound of vintage amps, especially low watt vintage amps.

For any of these amps you are looking at 4 figure sum, which I cant afford right now. I love Vox, Mesa boogies, Orange and Matchless amps over any others.
