I've been monitoring a bunch of stuff on eBay; bid on one amp but lost out in the wee hours of the morning and have made stops at a few local shops over the last week or two. This morning I ran down to my favorite shop to check out their one day sale and I'm glad I did. I now have a new Blues Junior to call my own!
I plugged into half a dozen or so different amps; Roland RX-30D, a used Roland Blues something or other, a Marshall combo, and a couple different solid state Fenders (which I actually like the Princeton 650). After about an hour I moved to a different room and plugged into a Blues Junior and within about 30 seconds I said "I'll take it"! Holy cow, what a ton of sound from that little mighty mo. Classic Fender bell like tone but dialing up the volume and using the master produced a very warm overdriven grit. Just what I was looking for. Simple operation with both clean and mild grit easily attained without needing a manual to figure it out. I'm amazed how much it sounds like my old Super Six Reverb.
Their everyday price was $389.00 which judging by some internet sites is darn good plus I got 10% off and he threw in two sets of EB Slinky strings. All in all I'm one happy camper. Now I just need to keep the wife from spotting it for a week or two until I can intercept the CC bill and pay it off in full.
Thanks to all who offered advice and suggestions.
