Guitar and Amp Problems

Ok, so I am just going to post the one thread for what i want to post.

im not sure whether we can post for sale items (so admins, mods..im sorry if we can't)

*edit*nevermind ...add gone

ok so now that thats out of the way

I want a new amp, im currently playing through an Me-50 and the smallest of the Roland Micro Cubes, now that im playing gigs i want something to push the sound out as i am fed up of usin other peoples gear.

I was advised towards a valve amp or a big combo amp but to stay away from Stacks....

Im willing to spend about the guts of €700 and it really only needs power, my me-50 gives me the sound i need...

I am also going to buy a new guitar, i was looking at some form of hollowbody guitar such as a Gretch or Gibson, i know both brands cost a shiny penny but im not an expert on that form of guitar.

I know Caleb Followills is one i would love to own but that would cost the price of a house im sure, think its a gibson '76

Anyway yeah any advise on any of these would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

If you're looking for a tube amp just to use as a platform for the ME-50, then a fender twin is the best you'll find. It's a 100 watt valve amp, it has insane amounts of clean headroom and it's a big combo

.

The unfortunate part though, is that it's 300 squid out of your price range

Hiwatts and mid 60's marshalls would also work, but none of these fit into your price range

.

You should keep an eye on E-bay for a used fender twin, or a silverface fender princeton. Most old fenders and reissues have good headroom, and are known for their clean tones. If you can find one for under 700€ that is

Yeah?

ya see ive been advised that fender have gone to rack and ruin?

i was playing through a fender 100 watt awhile ago im not sure what it was but it had a kinda silverish whitey kinda canvas on the front and was leatherbound...i hated it!

i have played through one of my friends behringer amps lately and loved it...
