Hey Fred . Those blues juniors are great - if they are cheap in your neck of the woods I would recommend you get one.
Would I be right in saying that the Champ will be a 5 - 8 watt amp? - if so I guess it wouldn't hack it in a live situation.

The 15 watt junior cut through a Matchless last night. I didn't have it miked up and it was fine. An amp building buddy (and a guy there last night) recommends swapping out the speaker and it just takes it up another notch.

I have to say that players and non players commented on my sound , and on the AL ;)

I gotta get one - cheap though!!! :)

Yeah, the Champ is the 5W clone, I wasn't thinking about a live situation... Duh.

You could always find one close to me and I'll snag it and ship it to ya!

Proudly wearing my Knucklehead shirt too... thanks again.

Spud, Fred,

If you can find a Texas Red edition of the Blues Jr. it already has an upgraded Celestion speaker very nice amp, it is what i was using before getting the Mesa, look on ebay was one on there last week

Hey Mike - good to hear from you - hope the T shirt is getting lots of exposure ha!

I'm glad ya said it ;)

Sure - if Middle School exposure counts. My 11 year old daughter helped with the laundry a few weeks ago and threw it in the drier. As even XL cotton tends to shrink - I believe it is now hers :eek: (maybe she planned it that way)

:)

Keith,
Thanks for the heads up, I just saw one of those in my travels but can't remember where exactly right now... I'll have to try and figure it out and have a look. How's the Mesa treating you?

Yeah I know that you know that I know that you know that couldn't be the case!! ;)

I still seethe after being ripped off on a Fender Champ in 1976 by a guitar store in London. Took my money and never got it!!

I just missed out on a local second hand BJ for £250 :mad:

Damn it - I'll get you one next year.

Reckon a Large would fit as I have a spare that I could send over?
