If you had $1,000 and wanted the classic Fender tone...aka Mayer tone what would you get? Well, we repeatedly hear get a Mayer sig and xyz amp usually the blues Jr....Well guess waht...the blues Jr. SUCKS! IMO It's hands down one of the most overrated amps out there, it's flooded the market and the only reason people like it so much is because they can mod it so it doesn't sound like a Blues Jr. at all....sure that's all fun but why not just buy an amp that has a good sound out of the box? We all know the amp is the most important part of the rig for sound, so don't buy an American or sig guitar when you only have a limited budget. This thread is more of a rant and to raise awareness to a Fender alternative than anything so here ya go guys. I challenge anyone to find a better sounding rig for under a grand (buying new or lightly used)Ampeg JVT 15 Watt amp $500 USDhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGeCGMtmGG0 Grab a $400 MIM strat or MIJ strat on the bay for $400 and you have $100 bucks left for a cable and a TS9 or TS808 if it were me...i'd get a delay since the Ampeg has a solid lead channel. There ya go...What would you guys do with $1k?
