Went to guitar center to buy new strings today.  Started playing this Fender Hot Rod Deville Finnish Isle amp with a Cannabis rex speaker.  Holy Tone Batman, this amp was awesome.  40 watts 6L6's, great clean tone and a amazing dirty tone, almost on par with my Marshall Vintage Modern.  Well, i walked out after putting it on layaway.  Can't wait to be playing this amp in a couple more weeks.  

<edit>  The most unreal thing is that i almost always hate fender amps.  That Glassy sound drives me up a wall, give me the chime of a Vox 24/7.  Best amp fender has ever made.

Gear list with out this
Epiphone LP Custom
Fender MIM Strat
Ibanez Artcore AF75

Marshall Vintage Modern
Vox AC15
Marshall MG100 1/2 stack

Boss TU3, SD1, DS1, DD6
Vox V847 Wah
Mxr Phase90
Seymour Duncan Tweaker Fuzz
Memory Boy
Digitech Bad Monkey

Nice. Got a pic of that Fender? If it sounds good and plays good, my guess is that it's gonna look good too! But your GAS is nothing compared to my friend who plays the guitar. He's probably got all the stuff you have plus another page or two.



EDIT: I got a few pics of all my gear, first up is my beloved 5 string Samick Artist Series Bass.





Next my newer amp





My big 300 watt amp + manuscript book/folder and metronome on top with a random blue Dunlop pick just chilling there. I have my bass next to it standing up so you can get a feel for how big it actually is. The riding lawn mower in the background is about 2/3rd's the size of the amp.





Distortion pedal before it stopped working.

I have a Fender American Special Telecaster:

Exactly like the one pictured here:

Sadly, that's my only toy besides a cheap-o Dean and a cheap-o Telluride that collect dust in my room now.

As for gear, a have a 30 Watt Tranzamp. Hopefully, I'll be able to afford a larger and better amp that I can play with around next summer whenever I'm working full time again.

Very nice, I always liked the looks of the Fender guitars and the design on the colors on the body. When I get my job in the spring/summer of next year I plan on getting a killer Warwick steamer stage 2, 5 string bass and possibly another Peavey 300 watt amp. My favorite bassist currently owns a special made Streamer stage 2 - 5 string bass kind of like this. http://www.guitarcenter.com/In-Store-Used-USED-WARWICK-STREAMER-STAGE-II-5-STRING-AFZELIA-BODY-WC-107125019-i2284500.gc

But if I could get any bass I wanted custom made, it'd be made out of Swamp Ash wood (Great tone wood) with Snake Tree wood for the neck and a Swamp Ash head stock to match the body. The best I could hope for right now is probably a decent used Samick Greg Bennett Fairlane FN15, 5 or 4 string. If I decide for a new one, it'd probably run me in the neighborhood of 300-350 dollars but lightly used and a few years older would be a good 60-70 dollars cheaper. I wouldn't mind a killer Gibson Les Paul though. Those are some of the best out there.

My favorite amp by far is my 1974 Sunn Model-T..  I bought it it the late 90's from a thrift-store for $50.00.  Took it to my amp guy, had a work-over done on it for $300.00. Replaced tubes, pots, cleaned, etc.  Thing was in great shape for a sitting in a garage in a box for the last few years..    
Amp is worth around $2500 now..  I will never sell it..  It is the loudest amp I own and pretty much blows away anything else I've put it up against..  That thing turned up to 12 o'clock needs no silly over-drive/distortion pedal/effect whatsoever..  Wish I could find a matching Sunn 4x12 original cab for it..  Been looking for years..  For now, my Emperor cab does the job..  I've been a Celestion Vintage 30 fanboy for a while, but got 4 of the Jensen 12" Electric Lightnings for a steal on Craigslist.....  I'll tell you what, those things seer the skin off my face and make me pee myself a little bit when played at club volume levels..  Playing the main riff from Sabbath's "Into the Void" is like narcotic for me on that amp..

Wow. That's an oldie, I am more stunned by the fact that you got it for $50 and its now worth 50 times the original buying price. I never really heard any noise from a Sunn IRL but I have been told that they are fairly good. The matching cab for it will be one hell of a find if you do manage to get one of those, rare piece these days. I doubt it'll be cheap either, if the Amp costs 2500 I wouldn't hesitate to put that cab in the area of $1500 to $3000 depending on condition.
