Do you plan on getting a Fuchs? I would love to try one of his amps, I know he had a jazz model for a while.

I don't doubt that Larry might have said that. But, I do doubt that he believes it. I have seen Larry perform live many times. The last three times were at the Blue Note in NYC. My American Express concierge service was able to get me and my wife seating close enough to reach up and press Larry's volume pedal if I wanted to. (I could probably be a TV or radio commercial spokes person for AmEx Platinum Card if I chose to. Tremendous value!!) He has never, in the 8 or 9 times that I have seen him perform live played through a Twin. On the other hand and to your point, if you check out Lee Ritenour's rig . . . you'll see two black face Deluxe Reverbs, a Roland JC120 as well as a Dumble. Not sure how, or if he has them linked.

No, I'm not planning on having a Fuchs Audio custom built . . . "at this time". I don't gig anymore and I doubt that I ever will. For the home playing and jam sessions I take part in, I have a 1970 Pro Reverb, black faced by Andy Fuchs (personally), a 1970 silver face Princeton Reverb and an Evans E850. All of my discretionary money is being foolishly spent on . . . . . . . . more arch tops!!! What else???

Ha Ha you are well served in amps for someone who doesn't gig I understand your GAS for archtops I might sell my vintage Les Paul and have my luthier buid me one. But also I want a good tube amp so I am gonna ask my tech to buld me a blackface - will be much cheaper than 2100US!

You should still take more advantage on living close to Andy I wish I could do that...

You are my hero!!!
I'm kinda new here, but I registered cuz I sorely needed someone to look up to.
I have nothing but respect for thread responders that come in a thread about a certain amps sound, & then pontificate endlessly & wax eloquent about about the cost for 2 days.
We get it.

Glad I could help - were you joining the 2k during these two days?

From what I have heard, they are dropdead bullet-proof, and a pro I know says the notes just fly out of the cabinet. He told me he owns two, and they'll probably outlast him. Dennis

I always heard good things about them - Jim Hall has one. A friend of mine that lived in the US for some time said may jazzmaster ultralight reminded him of Walter Woods. But they are expensive also...

I have heard a double bass player using one some months ago and sounded unbeliavable, much better than GK or Mark Bass.
