Amp for a Gretsch Power Jet

Hi everyone,

 

Been playing bass since junior high school and have been spending more time trying to get better with a guitar the last couple of years.  I bought a Gretsch Power Jet a couple of months ago and now I"m wondering what would be a good amp for it.

I love the guitar, it's got "that great Gretsch sound"  :) but the lows are a little too thick, they don't ring nice and clear on the little practice amps I have.  I'm thinking about a Fender Blues Deville 4x10 or maybe a Music Man 210 65 or 100.  I'd like to keep the sound nice and clean/bright and then work it with pedals later.

 

When I've played through my bass amps in the past the sound was more like a bass and less like a guitar so I'm leaning towards 10" speakers.

Would love to hear your opinions on this.

 

THanks,

Bart

Ampeg Gemini! First thought...nothing better than Ampeg/Gretsch sound. Vintage Gemini's can be had for not a ton of money, and they're fantastic sounding amps. An older or even reissue Revereberocket would do the trick too.

 

I love your idea of the Music Man as well.

 

Bigger speakers won't necessarily make it muddier, either. Don't rule out 12" speakers.
