I don't know about sexiest, but in the mqueen, kneviel, connery coolest thread, I vote for Greg's 59 bassman.

Big John · 12-01-2008, 01:18 PM

Greg's amp is a 50 yr old that's been rode hard, put away wet, and keeps coming back for more. That's a cougar in my book, and cougars are the sexiest ladies around.

LPV · 12-01-2008, 01:20 PM

Bump ! Its a poll now !

I second that..

59 Bassman.. No frills , bells and whistles. Just pure fat sparkling tone and bollocks. (Yes and I have owned many old Fenders, Voxes, plexi Marshalls etc etc ).

An old farts amp.. One you just plug into and rock...

Not the sort of thing for people who want a multitude of effects and gain though.

Blind Lemon · 12-01-2008, 05:40 PM

I don't know about "of all time", but how about one of mine. It's a dual single ended with 5881s.

Oh.....and the maple is nice also.

It was a joke, man. Dead pan like.

Major tie goin on here folks. C'mon, we can't love em all can we ?

RobertF · 12-01-2008, 11:27 PM

I always thought the early 60's Vox's were kinda cool....

Bassman

LoKi · 12-02-2008, 01:40 PM

Freakin' Google Chrome isn't showing me any of the check boxes on the page, so I can't vote right now, but I have to say for me... It's gotta be old faithful.

With metal toggles of course.

LoKi · 12-02-2008, 01:48 PM

Here she is sitting in my living room. Had to move her to put up the Christmas tree though.

Boleskinehouse · 12-02-2008, 03:46 PM

Sexy..

Splattle101 · 12-02-2008, 04:46 PM

I voted for the Bassman, but sometimes it just has to be Black Face:

I reckon it's more like the old tomcat with half a tail and one missing ear. It's not pretty, but...

LoKi · 12-02-2008, 07:43 PM

This followed me home today... It's pretty damn sexy in that creepy, non-human kind of way.

Taken from june 12 2008 issue of Rolling Stone mag, interviewing Buddy Guy:

RS: You were also one of the first guitarists to use distortion. How did you create that sound?

BG: I had a fender Bassman amplifier, man. The volume and tone knob stayed in one place for so long they was froze - everything wide open, except no bass. I still got the amp. And it had everything that you have to buy now. People try to say you need screaming tube [pedal], you need this, you need that. You Ain't need none of that in those amplifiers man.

yeti · 12-02-2008, 11:22 PM

I like this one, it's sooo un-boutique

Plush amps come in second, due to this rumor I've heard that complimentary BlowJ$%s came with every order. has anyone else heard that story?

brettk7 · 12-03-2008, 12:03 AM

There is some things WRONG with the poll.

I think you forgot to put up an Orange Rockerverb 50, Hughes and Kettner Switchblade, no Bad Cats, no Dr.Z, no Carr.. What gives man!!!

Also, given between those choices... I voted for the Randy Rhoads Marshall!

siore · 12-03-2008, 03:26 AM

No /13 also.

Brett, I took the amps nominated after 4 days. Couldn't take em' all so I took the ones that were first or nominated more than once. It was as fair as I could make it.

LPV · 12-03-2008, 07:22 AM

This poll is a great example of how our species survives !!!
Sooner or later, ugly becomes sexy.
