Re: Fender Twin Reverb Amp
Guy,
Thank you for the encouragement. So you know someone who used only 2 fingers on the fret hand?
My pinky finger was jammed by a fast flying tennis ball where the other guy wasn't supposed to hit yet. 30% of the socket bone (closest to the fingernail) was broken loose with the tendon still connected to the broken off piece of bone. The orthopedic surgeon hopes for a near full recovery. I have the finger bent in a strange position in a splint.
It took 2 weeks to find out from 4 different just how bad the fracture was. During that time I didn't play at all based on what the first 2 doctors said.
Very soon I may go to playing with 3 fingers. I tried it a bit, and I have to think about my approach to using different fingerings. On some chords a string will be missing, and some leads will have to be re-worked.
Fortunately I do not have to rely on playing for a living.

Re: Fender Twin Reverb Amp
I have a Twin Reverb and I love it but I rarely get the chance to turn it up. My ideal amp would be the Deluxe Reverb. A mere 22 watts but an awesome tone that one could record with as well as play shows with. And you can turn the volume up enough to get that sweet tone without blowing away your next-door neighbors.

That way you can eliminate the need to listen to your idiot drummer or plankton bass player whilst playing.
Re: Fender Twin Reverb Amp
I have a Fender Twin & a Deluxe Reverb. I also have a Vox AC15CC1X & for my next Amp acquisition I want a big Vox Amp. I'd love to have an NCM Custom Vox Super Beatle but will probably get an AC30CC2X or the new AC30C2X.Dirtyclinic wrote:I have a Twin Reverb and I love it but I rarely get the chance to turn it up.

I think I'm on my way to having both sides of the Pond fairly well covered.
Good luck with your quest,
Glenn

Re: Fender Twin Reverb Amp
...and you've got more than one "pond" covered as well, Glenn. NCM's licensed VOX re-creations like their Super Beatle, use new Asian-built SS Vox Valvetronix amp chassis, in newly-minted replica vintage cabinets. So, what you'll have would be a solid state VOX that looks (but sounds nothing like) a vintage Super Beatle.larsongs wrote:I have a Fender Twin & a Deluxe Reverb.

Not to put down NCM's product--the quality is fantastic, especially considering price! Just don't expect vintage sound...
Re: Fender Twin Reverb Amp
I just looked at NCM' Site, doesn't look like they are making them anymore. That won't work for me I am so spoiled by Tubes can;t go back to solid State. I'll stick to Vox AC30's then. They are powerful enough for just about anything.jingle_jangle wrote:...and you've got more than one "pond" covered as well, Glenn.
