I just put a pair of Celestion Vintage 30’s in the Blonde piggyback Bassman cabinet. They sound great. I demo them with two vintage Strats not only to show how they sound but also to show the difference in heavier gauge strings. It’s all about getting the perfect combination of guitar and amp to get the best tone.

Ive been looking for heads for my cabinet, i want a fender tubr amp that i can run it thru thr cab or a head. i wana see if i can get a fender head for a good price, any recomends? ive had 3 fender amps n use a fender 212r, but i wana upgrade to tubes and play it thru my 8 ohm cabinet.
Hello there,
If you have an 8 ohm cab that will probably take a solid state head. Most of the tube heads are 4 ohm. like the Dual Showman Reverb. Maybe some of the less powerful tube amps are 8 ohm. I have several vintage Fender amps and all are 4 ohm.
What’s your budget? I do like the vintage Dual Showman Reverb. Essentially the same sound as the Twin Reverb but in a head form.
The best way to find a deal on a Fender would be to watch your craigslist and watch ebay to see what comes along.
Later,
I am playing the 1960 Tweed Bassman and the 1964 Super Reverb together with my Blackie 1964 Strat. I recently swapped out two of the Jensen ceramic speakers in the Super to a Eminence Legend 10″ AlNiCo and an old Jensen Alnico I had that has a different cone than usual. They sound pretty good.

I want to switch my orange guitar amp head for a fender head, or a fender amp that will play through my cabinet speakers, they are 8 ohms. If compatible, can i play through the fender combo amp amd have it go through the cab too? any ideas of other fender amps? Would it work with 8 ohms?
Yes, the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe has an 8 ohm output so that should be fine. fender amps can tolerate a difference of 100% output impedance meaning that an amp with an 8 ohm output should tolerate a speaker load of 4 or 16 ohms. Your volume will be lower but it shouldn’t hurt anything. (This is not true of British amps)

I have a tweed fender blues junior and on the back it says made in Mexico. Are these good because my Mexican strat sucks dick compared to my American one. Also, is there an American blues junior? Lastly, is the Mexican one high quality? What wood is the cabinet made of and is the Jensen speaker good? Pros and cons?
They’re both fender… Obviously
I bet in a blindfold test very few people can tell the difference between mexicans and americans. Fender makes great amps, I wouldn’t worry about it
Clean channel test from a Peavey Delta Blues 1×15 inch speaker and a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 1 x 12 inch speaker.
This is not a competition, just a test I own both these amps and I like them both for different reasons
