Right, we'll chuck a couple more on the altar.

Have you thought about ritual sacrifices of nubile young ladies? Works for me.

This is what I'm after...really sweet sounding with a nice scoop. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH7VswhAVts&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YH7VswhAVts&feature=related[/url]

C.Agnew tele through one of the tweed amps.

One of the Rivera-designed Fender Super Champ combos

Its non starter, but taking the plate off isn't any more difficult than changing strings.

Chris Celinder told me he built a Victor Bailey tribute bass with a mahogany body and maple neck which he presented to Victor Bailey long before Fender released the Victor Bailey Signature model.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1326497676' post='1498219'] I wonder how easy they'd be to reverse engineer? [/quote] Very...about fifteen quids worth of bits I suspect.

[quote name='tonyf' timestamp='1326498068' post='1498232'] Dunno. It's solving a "problem" that doesn't really exist IMHO. [/quote] I think its directed at owners who don't wish to rout their instrument for a battery cavity. I struggle to believe the market is that big though.

Oh..you krazee guyzzzzz!!

Developing a way of hooking a 9v AC/DC power supply up would be a bigger achievement in some ways. Maybe this unit can be modded for that...?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a Super Champ clone?

Amazed that desktop guitar doesn't have more interesting grafitti eg. JR 4 ... 4 EVA with a big heart scratched around it...

No, honestly if your amp is working for you then stick with what works. Don't go changing just to keep on top of trends. I'll say again. Nothing wrong with the low end of Genz Shuttles. Especially for small venues.

Always - venue acoustics vary hugely.

Thanks Badass - Its been added to the list...

+1 on the Blues Jr, had a guitarist dep in my band with one and it sounded superb. 1970's silverface Fender amps like the Champ and Vibrochamp are well worth considering also. Have heard good things about the Peavey Classic but never tried one. Trace tube amps are a real bargain as has been suggested and I think some of them offer dual power settings. Would it be worth taking a look at Hayden amps? (Ashdown's guitar equivalent) If someone out there could make a reasonably priced Fender Super Champ, I'd be on it like a shot.

I thought you meant moderators, and was all poised to offer...
