What is your favorite Fender amp?

[Sonic Reducer]

There is a Nissan Frontier commercial with a really cool song on it that has to be some type of Fender amp. It has that Indie rock n' roll type sound.

It just got me thinking about how I never really owned any Fender type amps.

What is your favorite?

1962/63 Bassman with Presence knob!

Dual Professional. Hands down.

Of those I've played, the Tone King Comet is the best Fender amp not made by Fender.

 

[guitarmook]

Tweed or Brown Pro.

'66 BFVR w/original Jensen C10Ps...loves all (well, both) my guitars (LP and Strat).

 

[GeetarGoul]

my 59' bassman

 

[sanhozay]

Carr Rambler

Super Reverb 4x10

 

[Reeek]

It has to be my 1969 JBL loaded Twin that was blackfaced by Uncle Spot. It's simply put, a pure amplifier IMHO. Running JAN Philips 7581A's and Mullard/RCA preamp tubes from KCA.

If your lower back can handle it, a Super Reverb, with the right speakers, is pretty hard to beat....IMHO.

 

[mountain blues]

Toss-up between the '62 Blonde Bassman and the Super Reverb.

 

[fast ricky love]

1) Blackface Deluxe Reverb. Accept NO substitutes.

2) Brownface Vibrolux.

 

[Onswah]

I played a 1966 Vibrolux 2x10 with RCA tubes yesterday. I think it wins.

 

[fatback]

Blackface Deluxe and Princeton Reverbs make Fatback a happy boy! Leo knew 6V6's!

So what are the right speakers...??

Alnicos or Ceramics...??Original vintage or replacement speaks???

I have heard some Supers sound great with ceramics until they were pushed beyond 6 when they got harsh...but have never played one with stock alnicos...

[gizmo]

Hands down...my '61 brown Deluxe has the tone of the gods. Thick, creamy, rich tone at sane volume levels.

 

[aeolian]

They're all so different, but I found a few stellar examples of the following ...

Blackface Deluxe Reverb

Blackface Vibroluxe Reverb

Brown Concert

Tweed Bassman

Never heard a tweed Deluxe that floored me but I think the sound is in there somewhere. Going to try putting a kit together and playing with it when I get some time.

 

[tga-3]

+1 for Blonde Bassman.

Happy Trails,
Rick

 

[MojoHand]

Tweed Deluxe
Tweed Bandmaster
Tweed Bassman
Blackface Deluxe Reverb
Blackface Super Reverb

Are all great amps. If a had to pick one: BFDR best suits my needs (recording and jam sessions) today.

Blackface Super Reverb 1
Brown Vibroverb 2
