              Anyone on here own or have experience with fender amps? Looking at picking up a silverface (or repro) such as Princeton '68 or Vibro Champ. Any better suggestions welcome!

                  I’d kill for an original brown tolex or silverface Princeton. I used to have a 1968 Super that sounded glorious. Old Princetons are selling for crazy money now, wish I had picked one up 10 years ago.

                    I’ve played many versions of the Fender Princeton from originals to the new ones. They’re my absolute favorite guitar amp. The $999 Fender 1965 remake version is my personal favorite. Obviously I’d love an original 1965, but with reality in mind. I think it’s the best price point. There was the ‘68 2nd reissue for a few hundred dollars less, but I think it skips out on the chorus effect and also wasn’t built as well. You can definitely buy these used and save some money. If you know how to retube and bias an amp even better. Hope you find one that you’re looking for!

                      Also the NOS Blues Junior is a very solid amp too. It’s a 12” speaker compared to the 10” in the Princeton but it sounds great. Only 1 input and no chorus available. But it does have a cool FAT boost switch

                        What an amazing Tele to learn on. As @xtcclassic says, Tele's are so versatile and you cannot beat the classic Blackguard Butterscotch Blonde.

                        I have recently got back into playing so, today, with 3 nippers and wife all out, I plugged in 🙂

                            Speaking of Tele’s, here’s mine. It started its life as a butterscotch ‘52 reissue.

                                  Deluxe Reverb is my go-to Fender amp. I've got a silverface one that is my main amp, I think it's a '76. I've had Princeton's in the past and have loved them, but prefer my Deluxe Reverb. Reissues of the Deluxe aren't bad, but you can get a 70's one for just a little more than what they cost new.

                                  Wants List:
                                  IHSH-20-Red, XL
                                  IHSH-208-Indigo Kersey, L-XL
                                  IHSH-254-Grey Kersey, L-XL
                                  IHSW-45 Black, M
                                  IH-526SV 21oz type III, 38 or 40
                                  IH-777S-SB size 32
                                  IH-777S-142 size 31 or 32
                                  IHJ-142-BLK or IND, M

                                    No, a buddy of mine did it. Here’s a bit more info if you’re interested: http://tonguesofflame.blogspot.com/2006/07/tongues-of-flame-1-san-miguelback.html

                                    He recently went back over it and darkened the front and some of the back.

                                      I was thinking about getting the Deluxe Reverb Tonemaster which has a built-in attenuator so you can get close sounds at lower volumes without waking up the neighbours.

                                      I don't play live so the real thing would probs be over kill!

                                        You can’t beat a real tube amp. If you’re looking for a Fender that’s manageable at home, have you looked at the ‘68 Custom Vibro Champ? Or the ‘68 Custom Princeton Reverb?

                                          For home use you can't go wrong with a Fender Blues Junior - even better if a friendly amp guy can rustle up some handmade atttenuation!

                                          My contribution, to urban blues…

                                            @xtcclassic @IH-GARY thank you! The Princeton 68 had been on my radar for a while. I will just be patient and test a few when the rules allow.

                                            That amp looks awesome, never seen a handmade attenuator like that!
