I had a real JMI AC4 exactly like Gary's. Should have kept it, but needed loot for something else. At least I did some recording with it.

The blue looks good, and while it's historically correct for a very brief period, I like the diamond grille better.

Maybe I can pick up a roll of the blue tolex and save it for a rainy day...after I do my orange and green ones. :)

I like this picture and it is the reason why I bought this AC4.
I have a blue strap, blue picks, blue capo, blue coil cable, blue guitar...I really had to get a blue amp.

Come on, everyone knows you can't play blues on a Rickenbacker. :)
I play RED hot rock and roll on my blue gear.

I must not have received that message. I've played the blues with both my 1997 and former 360. But then again I've played country with both of them too. :mrgreen:

Oh dear... didn't you know that playing something else than jangle rock voids warranty? You're not supposed to use the instrument for things it's not suited for :lol:

I guess that I'm not the only one with a voided warranty. :D :D :D





Back on track to the AC4C1-BL, I tried a couple of them out yesterday afternoon. I liked everything execpt the speaker. If I bought one, I'd have to swap it out for an Alnico one. Choices among 10 inch Alnico speakers are basically limited to a Weber Blue Pup, an Eminence Red Fang, or even a Celestion Gold. All cost about 1/3 to 1/2 of the amp's cost.

I am Thinking about a greenback.
The stock speaker is very dry and rough, the lack of bass is caused in the closed back and small box design, but combined with a 12" open back cab IT HAS GOT BASS!

Here a few lines about first impressions:
