Shit, I'd be all over that Eclipse if I had any money to my name right now.

How cool wood it be if Creston made me a blue mahoe tele?

Seems like it is about as dense/strong as mahogany.

--- Quote from: glyphic on 19 Jun 2009, 12:38 ---So I got some money today and all I want to do is buy a Fender Hot Rod Deville 4x10. This might involve me not being able to afford food for weeks. But I have been trying to lose weight anyway.
Plus, I was going totally PUNX with my setup by borrowing an amp from a friend in order to practice. Then he asked for it back. Sigh.
So, I am stalking ebay for an amazing buy.

it'll be the best amp you ever buy. i really do love that line. i'm amazed at how much the price of fender tube amps has skyrocketed in the past year though. makes me wish i had bought a dozen 65 reissues 2 years ago. haha. truth. anyway, go with the 2x12 though instead of the 4x10, and trust my advice on this. and i don't say that because i own the 2x12, i say this because i played through the 4x10 version for about 6 months before i purchased a deville of my own. obv the 2x12 ha.

The 4x10 is soooo nice. Get a Blues Deville/Deluxe, though. They're so might brighter and punchier for a little extra cash.

i'm not saying the 4x10 isn't nice... it's really the same amp.. i just always found that 10's couldn't offer things that 12's could, but i could get the sound out of 12's that i could out of 10's if that makes sense. try them both, see what suits you. saying this doesn't mean that the 410 deville isn't capable of throwing out bottom end, in fact you'll probably find that it throws out too much bottom end sometimes, and you'll be keeping a phillips screwdriver close by to retighten all the screws that hold the frame of the amp together, as vibration eventually loosens them. also i believe that the dimensions of the 4x10 are slightly larger than the 2x12, and being that both of these amps are already pretty heavy and without wheels on them, you'll find yourself carrying these things up stairs to gigs in the most awkward ways, laughing at the handle on the top, as if you could just carry it by your side and have it be a breeze.
both the hot rod deville and blues deville have the best sparkling clean tones on any amp out there in my opinion, nothing even comes close, i've always just used the clean channel with either a pedal for boost or od, but if i was going to spend the extra cash, and i had my heart set on a 410, i'd be looking for a second hand super reverb..
