Mark, I am a proponent of fitting the guitar and the amp to the type of music that the palyer. What music and what guitar...besides a Telecastaer...do you play? IF you want it all in one package, find you a Rivera-era Fender amp of appropriate wattage. Since you have the PRRI, I wo uld suggest a Concert II, SR II or a TRII. IF not a FEnder, then go for a modern Rivera. YOu can get a used R-55 for much less than $1K, and it will do tweed, BF Fender REverb or hi-gain. The Fender Rivera-era amps are much the same...except they are handwired compared to the PCB of the Riveras.
