Suddenly I hate my Line 6 Spider Jam! OH MY GOD!!! The sound out of that thing was ridiculous!!!! It was $1,000...and it stayed in the store. My wife would KILL me if I bought that thing! Man...I now see what all the "tube amp" hype is all about!

Hello, my name is Ivan Milenkovic - I am a gearhead.
  Here's my confession: At first my girl and I were having some arguments about me buying expensive gear. She just couldn't understand. But after a while she figured out that I'm an gear addict, so she left me alone. I leave her to do the shopping, and I go to music stores. Everyone has some things that makes them happy in life, so that's the whole point. If you feel like you should be a tube Fender amp, and you really know that this is the right thing to do, I don't think anybody can feel bad about it. Just sell the Spider, collect some money and go for it!

Don't forget Ebay! I wanted a tube amp but was discouraged by the price, especially of the nice Fenders. I was considering a Blues Junior, but after doing some research, I found a Peavey Delta Blues on Ebay, 1 year old and only used a few times, for half price. 30 watts and a 15 inch speaker, I'm loving that sound.
Best part for me, it's Made in USA, Mississippi in fact, for sure the home of Delta Blues!

QUOTE (fkalich @ Dec 26 2008, 10:46 PM)  Look at Carvin. You can get a Vintage Bel Air for About $600 with shipping. They sound great. I just changed the tubes on mine, set the bias myself (it is easy). Fender is fine. But you just bet more for your money with a Carvin. But don't get the Vintage 16. It is more of a specialty amp, which is ok. But the Bel Air is what you want. You don't hear a lot of people say bad things about them. In fact, I never have. edit: correction, they are $100 more. https://www.carvinguitars.com/products/sing...?product=BELAIR Still, way better way to go than a Fender at this price. Mine just sounds great. I often play just right into it, even though I have all kinds of effects, it sounds so good, even at very low volumes. Wow, those Carvins seem really great! Have you done any recordings with it? -------------------- www.youtube.com/Wallimann

Tube amp is a must for a gigging or a serious recording guitarist!
I can't remember the last time that I played a non-tube amp and the last time I played a gig with a transistor amp was 5 years ago and I'm gigging constantly!But!!! If you're only playing at home at low volumes and it's just a hobby for you, maybe you don't need an expensive tube amp! It's your decision! And concerning your wife - communication is the key  if you tell her how much it would mean to you to have that amp, I'm sure she would say it's ok!

QUOTE (NoSkill @ Jun 29 2009, 04:27 AM) Rule of thumb in my house. #1 If I can get it in the house and get rid of the box without getting caught...then it's always been there. #2 You can't go wrong with a black guitar. I've got 4 or 7 of them. She doesn't care. hahahaah lol man ....Great rules ehehehheQUOTE (Lian Gerbino @ Jun 30 2009, 07:54 AM) wanna cry guys?
