Details plz.
I have a visiting Jazzmaster; first one I've ever spent time with. It has some impressive qualities.
Given my preference for Teles, this is looking really interesting:

"Interesting" in the way that I tell my kids their drawings are interesting maybe...
Haha, yep exactly in that way. 😂

OK granted, it's a bit weird but look at it from my perspective:

I'm discovering a real liking for the sound of Jazzmaster pickups, but the guitar itself is a tad unweildy; I much prefer the feel of a Tele. So imagine my excitement when I first saw Fender's Tele-Jazz.

You made that for me?

It's been emotional.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Found a Freeze for a decent price. In 3-5 days I should have relief from my GAS.

MJT tatty black.
Guessing it’s the one that spent lockdown with me. Fantastic guitar, definitely left me reconsidering the lack of anything fender shaped in the guitar cupboard.

You know I felt the same way when they made the tremolo version of the Reverend Double Agent. 'You made that for me?'

Sounds like it might be great for you.

I'd quite like a Boss RV500 to fill the lonely spot on my board where a reverb should be.
Loving it so far

Further to my reverb gas, I just thought this video was very well done. I thought by getting the Boss RV-500 instead of a Big Sky would possibly be compromising a bit given then Big Sky's reputation as a top reverb pedal, and the price premium it commands. But I preferred the sound of the Boss reverb in pretty much every example in this video.

He plays both without telling you which is which. Thoughts?

It is worth exploring the Neunaber verbs too. The pedals are less complex, but the sounds are awesome, and very musical to my ears.

I didn't realise the Immerse now has a MkII. Gosh... the pedal rabbit hole sure is deep...

I watched some videos on the Nuenaber and they do sound really nice. I'm not sure if I'm totally on board with there being no mix knob, it's an effects level instead and can't go fully wet.

Good choice! I've had the Tonemaster Twin Reverb for a few months. Sounds and reacts just like the tube version (really), but half the weight, with a very useful built-in attenuator and no maintenance to worry about. A lot cheaper too. I love it and would never go back to the tube version. Nice solid pine cabinet too (the standard reissue tube Twin Reverb doesn't come in a pine cabinet, it's mdf).
How is going with the tonemaster - still happy with it?

I see that there is a tonemaster deluxe reverb on TM.
Epiphone Riviera P93 & EJ200CE, Hagstrom Viking Bass, Doubleneck bass/guitar.
Rivera Clubster 45, Carvin AG100D, Ashton BSK158.
