Thanks Jeff! I actually bought it for display only because it is so cool but I insulated the inside with cardboard because it sounded so plasticky. after the mini speakers broke in, it sounds really good for a little practice amp. I lay on the couch watching TV and jam! —The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 |

I played a Vaporizer once and enjoyed it. Fender has made some cool little amps in the last ten years or so. I gave my Excelsior to a nephew, with no regrets, but I wouldn’t mind having another.

I had the same situation with the Excelsior. It was a great amp, but it didn’t really find much use. With a decent reverb pedal, it would be sorta surfish. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |

Nice gear ….but just as the old phone on the wall has now been essentially replaced by I-Phone technology, so will eventually the guitar amp be replace my modeling rack units played through PA speakers. I love the spring reverb in these units better than the Fender Tank etc....many studio players already switched over making recordings etc so it will only be a mater of time before the same system hits the stage. |

I have mixed feelings on the matter. I think that technology has accomplished some amazing things. I have DSP based effects that surprise me every time I use them. I recently bought a Digital Delay/Hall Reverb unit that sounds better than I could imagine for a compact pedal. In fact, I have several reverb pedals which emulate Hall, Room, Cathedral, Plate and Spring reverbs and do a credible job of it. There’s no question in my mind that we can create some amazing sounds with modern effects. However, I have yet to hear an amp emulation the response of a tube amp. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |

For me a rack and PA is the way to go - Where I live here DJ's work more than any band and most clubs here can't afford a real band with of all that equipment (or room for them). Next level of activity is solo acts - but they usually are acoustic players with a cheesy drum pedal' The problem is yes a real amp and tank might be better maybe - but the overall sound is not balanced with the rest of the band it doesn't matter anyway. That's why DJ's are taking over. All the 300+ bands that come through here basically sound bad because the mix is horrible - DJ's sound better because its balanced sound through PA systems - I'm going to sound better too. Its all about the songs for me - I don't care how I get there I want it to sound good. Have to admit that SurfyBear sounds pretty good....I forgot about Surfer Joe as well - might have to change my username lol Last edited: Jan 18, 2019 17:44:27 |

This may not be everybody's favorite surf amp but this is mine right now because it does everything. Dual Reverb Quilter Bear on a EV SRO 15 Cab. The Kahuna Kings https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Kahuna-Kings/459752090818447 |

It is a ceramic cookie jar that Fender offered in their accessories page several years ago, either late 1990's or early 2000's IIRC. I got it because I thought it might be a good backup to the Showman 1x15 bass amp I was using back then. —Jack Booth The Mariners (1964-68, 1996-2005) |
