Tell me this isn't crazy? It also has a speaker most commonly seen in Vox AC-30's.

OK...it isn't crazy. Not as crazy as some of the mods to Ricks we've seen posted here. It's all relative, innit?

Perhaps I used the wrong choice of words. It looks cool, no doubt.

Ah, it may look cool, but how does it sound?

Fender reverb? I'm thinking it sounds pretty darn good--but that color doesn't do much for me.

I think Jake was questioning the Celestion [sp?] blue speaker in the thing. Myself, I'd have to hear it first before I'd make up my mind.

I like Blue things...My AZ Blue Rick might look cool in front of that amp. I think I prefer Fender amps in Blonde though.

I've had Celestions in Fenders before, but never an Alnico Blue Celestion. There's one school of thought that says not to mix British speakers with American amps, and vice versa, but I don't necessarily follow that. I had Greenbacks in my Brown Face Blonde Twin and took them out, but have a pair of Vintage 30s in my custom Low Power Twin Reverb.

OK...I'm often a little slow, but it appears to me that the amp in question has a Jensen C-12K, not a Celestion Blue....or am I missing something?

I'm feeling a little nauseous. Awful color for Tolex, except possibly on a combo organ...

I agree with Paul W. That's not a colour that appeals to me on an amp.

.....or a sportcoat. Nyuk, nyuk nyuk. Agree with Paul --- definitely not a tasteful color for Tolex. It's late.....I'm blowin' this popstand. Peace, out.......Goofball.

Meh.....I like it, or at least the idea of it.

You know what I don't like? Seeing 100,000,000 black tolex Fender amps, one after another.....at least I would notice this one!

Change is good.

I like how MF just reused their old description of the basic Deluxe Reverb. It still says "Black vinyl covering".

Change to ugly is bad.

The ad text description on the MF site says "Jensen C-12K", but that's a generic cut and paste description of the standard Fender Deluxe Reverb amp that MF included in the ad by mistake. The rear view photo clearly shows the amp equipped with a Celestion Alnico Blue speaker.

I think the Blue speaker might cause the amp to break up too early for my taste.
