Hi that's allready a fine collection you've got there...
having to choose between tank and jag, I'd go for the tank. it sems to mee
that fatstrat - tank blues deville will give a way surfier tone then jag/JM
- blues deville.
the blues deville is (in my opinion, and totally apart from surf) a mighty
fine amp. the ss driven reverb is just not very surfy.
Don't know about all the different tanks, but it might also take a liitle of
the mellowness off the Deville, at least my (cosmoverb) tank does that to my
amp.
regards
