Rivera Jazz Suprema 25w and Henriksen Blu 10.
Both sound great but the Henriksen is still king of clean.
Both sound perfect with all EQ’s set at high noon.
The Rivera had a notch filter you can pull to stop feedback and a focus knob to tighten or loosen the speaker response.
The Rivera is around 36lbs and the Henriksen is 20lbs.
The Rivera was around $800 more through Sweetwater with tax.
No tax on the Henriksen.

Wow, congrats!! Enjoy!
-
i would like a Henriksen 6 they seem hard to find and what is an ok price? I would like to hear the Rivera.
-
Mark I also have the Blu 6. It is a incredible amp.
Actually unbelievable for its size. It is $1K.
They all come with very well made carrying cases with a shoulder strap.
-
A couple of very, very nice amps! Congratulations, and play them in good health!

The more I use my Henriksen Blu 6 and my Henriksen Blu 10, the less I think I need my Clarus or my Princeton.
A Gibson archtop with TI strings played through a Henriksen Blu gives me the jazz guitar sound that I hear in my head. And that inspires my playing.

To those who have both a 6" and 10" -- which do you prefer, if you could only have one?
To the OP who already had a 6" and then went out and bought the 10": what did the 6" lack that you were trying to fulfill with the 10", and is it an improvement? Are there any ways that the 6" is better than the 10" besides marginal size/weight difference?

Anyone have experience with the Phil Jones Bass (7”/40watts) amp?
New they’re in the 360 range. Might be a good contender?

I had the Phil Jones AAD Cub AG-100 for some time. Nice amp, could do acoustic guitars and jazz, was warm enough.
But the AER was more "real" sounding for acoustics, and after buying a Henriksen I sold the Phil Jones (to a violinist friend who gigs it a lot - she liked it so much she bought a second one after it got stolen). I would put the Phil Jones in the Dv Mark category, it's certainly giggable.

A funny thing with amps, over time they either grow on you, or they don't. Some amps you like forever, some others you outgrow in months or even years..

Thanks for the PJB info!
Thinking about something small, SS, doubt it will ever gig.

But I am not surprised. The great JazzAmp 110 is an amp that I really enjoy. It really is all the amp I will ever really need.
Marco, you nailed it when you said (and I slightly modified), “A Gibson, Ti’s and a Henriksen is that sound I hear in my head”. Perfectly said. Perfection.

Congratulations Vinny! I’ve always wanted a Rivera Suprema, and the Hendriksen Blu sounds killer. There’s nothing like some new toys!
-
Nice! Congrats! I love my Blu 10.
-
I'm found a deal on a used JazzAmp 110 for $250, cash. This will be my first Henriksen. Can't wait to pick it up.
-
What is their most powerful/biggest sounding amp and could it keep up in a Hammond B3 band unmiked?
-
I love the 6 but IMO the 10 just has a much bigger fuller sound. Also the 6 must be off the ground like on a stool or chair to sound really good. On the floor it sounds boxy.
I can say this the 25w Rivera is WAY louder then the 120w Henriksen. Luckily it has a 12w half power switch.
20lbs is nothing after lugging Twins around for decades.
The 6 is a marvel because of the great sound out of a very small box.
The 10 is my favorite still light but a tone monster that can handle everything.
The 12 a absolute tone beast with bass that will straighten curly hair but still only weighs 32lbs.
The Rivera has Twin tube tone with great reverb, mids, and highs but I think the bigger Henriksens have better bass though the speaker isn't broken in yet. It has a Celestion T75. I am not a big fan of Celestions. I may change that speaker down the road to maybe a Cannabis Rex or something else.
My Tone King had a Celestion Creamback and I didn't like the amp. I put in a CR and it sweetened it up nicely. Also the Rivera has all EH tubes which I don't care for though Paul Rivera says he likes those the very best but he looks at it as a dependable long lasting stance and me I don't care about long life. For me it is about the tone and quiet noise floor.
This works for me...( V1 TAD 5751/ V2 TAD 7025/ V3 TAD 7025/ 6V6's JJ. )
