Most folks will say a Fender Deluxe Reverb or Twin Reverb... there are tons of amps that do chicken pickin very well though.

I'd say it depends how Clean and how loud you need. Loud and very clean, go with a Twin; a little warmer and compressed with enough volume for a small band in a small club, a Deluxe.

I'm sure there'll be plenty of good recommendations as well...

A Twin will be loud enough for most face melting - clean or dirty :)

If ya need to, then mic that thing up and pump it through the PA.

As for an amp recomendation, I guess if you're into the fender sound, you could jump up to a twin. For somethin different, the AC30 with the blues might do ya too. The amp can get plenty loud.

And if they don't tremble in fear - face it at them and turn her to 11. If they survive that onslaught, you're band is indestructable, run.

And could you let me know when you go there to try one out? I'm just itchin to watch those snotty nose preamp gain thrashers get drowned out by a tele being chicken picked through a dimed twin. I'll even buy the earplugs.

On another note, I went up to the counter and asked if they had a vintage tele bridge and one of GCs finest came back with this strange thingy with a bar and a bunch of springs in the package. Don't they give prospective employees a basic reading test?

I was just at Guitar Center the other day. Played a Hot Rod Deville, it did okay and didnt look to be too expensive.
