Try your Tele through a '59 Tweed Bassman RI. Beautifully full, round, shimmery, clean tones. For my money it was this or an AC30 tbx with clelestian blues in them.

Clean tone was important to me when my wife finally approved an amp purchase a couple years ago. I was a big Mesa fan before taking my Tele to the store to try out some amps thinking a Mark IV might be the most versatile amp ever. In the clean dept the Mesas did not compete with Fender very well. Distortion would be another thing altogether.

Make sure you get your axe down to a store with some variety try out different amps yourself before you buy. Best of luck.
