how much would it cost to buy a vintage deluxe amp from 56-59? I'm looking to buy my first vintage amp

[retroaficionado]

If you can find one of these for less than $2500 in good condition with all original parts, BUY it. No one is selling them right now. If you want something more affordable, Blackface Bass Man heads are some of the most undervalued amps in the entire market. You can get a good one for $600-$700. This is a steal.

[ledzepacbasslyn423]

a couple of questions is it loud enough to gig with and what do you like about it

[retroaficionado]

Any amp is loud enough to gig with when Mic'd, but yes these are loud enough for most sorts of music. Neil Young's last tour featured 2 of these amps with 2 mics on them. The 6v6 tweed deluxes have a very "Huge vintage Marshall Plexi" stack sound when they are turned all the way up but without having to own a huge and heavy Plexi turned to 11.

good. Because you'd be wasting that amp by using pedals.

[LarryRickenbacker]

Gosh, but there's not much treble..

[luther357]

I had one of these in the early 80's and despised it for not being a nice new GK. It rotted away in my mother's garage until someone got it in a garage sale (for $25).

I despise myself now.

[spankystrat49]

I agree there is something about the tone that is not quite right

[Putaspellonyou]

sheeat!!! that is sweet sounding.

[salutetheflag]

Hmm I'm a huge fender amp fan -- something about this amp I dont like. too muddy maybe?

[slpplexi1969]

@124slowhand There's either a microphone or there isn't. You can't "mike the shit out of it".

[davec3487]

@124slowhand Please post a demo.

[MrGodam29]

@LarryRickenbacker it does need more trebel

[124slowhand]

I have the best 59 in the world. Lots of headroom and volume and lots of high. I dont know why, but it sounds different than all these. very clear also. I mike the shit out of it and put it in the monitors. all of my other amps are collecting dust. the first night i took it too the gig, everyone went whoa and my twin came off the stage, never to get on again. forget supers, blackface deluxes, this amp is the shit

[124slowhand]

I own a beat up 60 with a celestion. Oh my god, since I got it, 3 months ago, all my other amps, including a new Richter, are for sale. The kits and reissues do NOT EVEN COME CLOSE!!! Ive owned over 70 amps, mostly fenders, this is my first tweed, been playing 43 years, I used to be great, but with this amp, i am even better. INSPIRATION
