I have two amps an ‘74 fender twin reverb and it’s great believe and I don’t want to mess Around with the settings.
my other amp is a ‘79 Mesa boogie mark IIA with a whopping 15” ev.
Ive decided recently to learn some new stuff so why not some jazz. So my question is this , what do you guys think and what can I possibly improve or tweak.

IMHO, you have two amps there that should be great for jazz, and the guitar with a P90 in the neck is a classic pickup setup, used by many, including Jim Hall for many years, Grant Green, and Joe Pass. Though all of them used hollow bodies, you can get close with the Special. Great rock guitar to boot!

You sir are set for life! My personal favorite guitar amp of all time is probably a 1970s silverface Fender Twin...and, I had a buddy in college who owned a Boogie Mark-something with the EV 15" and it sounded so good I almost changed my mind about Twins! Originally Posted by silvertonebetty

Carry on.

I bought a silver Twin new in high school, same vintage as that one, my first "real" amp. For the HS Jazz Band and my "Chicago/BS&T band." Good Lord, clean headroom to the skies. I put the pop-out Ernie Ball casters on it. I remember that back then I could actually lift it into my trunk, but it was easier to slide it into the back seat. These days, NO WAY.
