Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I prefer Alaska King, very disappointed with Copper River last couple of years. Nothing like getting fish off the boat, or off your own line.
Seriously Cliff... even the 'Ol Curmudgeon Al admitted he needed to come out again. Just avoid Crab Cakes, they don't do those so well around here, but every other seafood, especially Salmon... can't be beat.
Maybe You, Al, the significant others, and the OFC Northwest contingent need to plan for Vancouver Island Music Fest 2009. |

what do you guys think about the baldwin 2x12 with a tube screamer running into it. i already have that crunch tone amp (my 1482) so i am kind of looking for something a little different, and more reliable, but also it needs to be albe to dirty up a little bit when i need it to. i am looking for something that gets more of a country/jazz tone, but can go ballsy when i need it to. i am thinking the baldwin and then just make some of my own pedals from schematics and run into it. |

Location: florida | and also i was looking at the pignose g40v, a cool little amp that easily upgraded (with a new speaker) to a killer tube neil young(ish) tone amp. plus it is 40 watts, thats alot of wattage, i could run it into other exterior cabs/speakers and still have plenty of push from it with 40 watts of tube power. |

Location: Jet City | sonofapreacherman, could you please stay on topic? oh wait... nevermind.
Do you have a few amps that are available and that's what's driving the questions? I would imagine you might find 1 person, maybe, that would be able to give advise on something so detailed as a baldwin with a tube screamer.
For my money, I'm looking to get either of the these three below. They seem to fit the sound description of what you're looking for as well.
The Carvin Nomad (or possibly BelAir) or the Peavey Delta Blues.
Both Carvin and Peavey are very reasonably priced. As for the Delta, Hartley says it's the best amp Peavey's ever made. The Carvins just have a nice tone to them in my ears anyway. I heard my first one while meeting with MR. Ovation here at a guitar swap event. When we heard it, our heads both turned to see where that sweet tone was coming from. In a room full of wailing guitars and amps (mostly vintage stuff), that says a lot to me when something sticks out like that.
I'm not versed enough on the one's you've asked about though, sorry. |

Location: florida | the pignose g40v is a new model
the bladwin 2x12 combo is very much an old thing
and the danelectro model 68 is old as well (like late 50's old)
and my silvertone 1482 is mid-late 60's.
yea i think i am going to go baldwin, it is just to rare at too good of a price to just pass up. plus i think it would get a pretty nice country/jazz tone with my "new" viper i just purchased |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I've been listening to a Brian Setzer CD entitled Rockabilly Riot where he recorded all 23 numbers using a tiny vintage Supro amp. There's something to be said for old vintage amps. I love my '66 Bandmaster, but it would be a beast to lug around for gigs. My only suggestion is to stay as small and light as you can get by with, and we can all get by with less than we think. |

Location: Jet City | were running on the same wavelength it seems Brad.Last night I decided it was time to learn some rockabilly so of course I had to start with the modern master.
I found that Brian's not too easy to follow, but I've just about got Rock This Town now.
I need a reverb tank too. All these needs now that I started playing serious again, but no funds dammit. |
