Re: Bang for the buck for a new amp

I played a MIG 60 in store when new, but I think there was a problem. Noisy broken sounding. It's supposed to be something like a JMP master-volume model. It was the only one of the MIG's actually designed for EL-34's if that's important to you.
On the edit stuff, depending on the cab, the Bandmaster head and cab is probably fairly priced and the set I'd be most interested in. Blackface non-reverb heads will have more cachet because of the pre-CBS thing, but the Reverb models are pretty typical Fender circuits and "blackface-able" even though there wasn't a blackface version of the Reverb. No one famous ever seemed to have use the Bandmasters, which helps keep them from being ridiculously priced. However, lots of blooz dentists like to hack the Reverb models into clones of SRV's Vibroverbs, so get 'em while they're hot.
