I've just ordered a Fender '57 Deluxe amplifier!
For those not in the know, this is a reissue of the exact amp that Neil Young uses! This will probably be one of the first imported into the UK. It's due to arrive on the 21st May. I've sold my 1224 & Cab to fund this. I'll also be selling my Matamp Combo once I have this in my posession.

Fender '57 Deluxe
I have to have one of these!
Check out the spec:
The original Fender Deluxe amp of the 1950s was a medium-powered amp that found its way onto countless smokin’-hot live and recorded performances. Over the past 50 years, from Memphis to Liverpool to Austin, Texas, players of many styles have prized it for its awesome and unmistakable warmth and rich tube tone.
An authentic recreation of one of our most beloved guitar amps, the ’57 Deluxe is a 12-watt, hand-wired tube amplifier with a 12” Jensen® P-12Q speaker. The two 6V6 output tubes, acclaimed 5E3 circuit and solid pine cabinet all contribute to the ’57 Deluxe’s resonant, touch-sensitive performance. Vintage fitted cover included.

Glastonbuy tickets secured
After an hour of trying I scored four Glastonbury tickets at 10:01 this morning. I found a link on the www.efestivals.co.uk forum which bypassed the See Tickets main page. Pretty straight forward after that. What time's Neil Young on?
