Fender Champion 600, worth?

[iwantdigimon]

Just like to seek an opinion on this. I know its not of gigging worth, but in a small bar belting jazz and blues tunes, will it shine? if not, what other recommendations?

I think it would be good if you can list your budget.

probably around 1K or less.. preferably less..

maybe, also depends on how much u want to spend to make it work. Youll prob need to match it with a bigger speaker(external). For blues still possible. For jazz it may not give u enough clean headroom unless you mic it to the p.a.

You may want at least the fender pro or blues junior. For around 600+, maybe a vox ac15 if the tube amp route is a must for you. Besides with the city music sale currently on, now maybe the best time to get.

Otherwise the roland cube 60 may just do the job.

If the Jrs and the AC15 aren't portable, then I don't know what is...

as in for hand carry..

That's exactly what I mean.

Alternatively, you can choose one of those amp simulations and run it straight to the PA. It might be a good idea if you don't drive.

Otherwise, my suggestion is identical as shioks76.
