Here's one of my more esoteric amps - tons of sounds in this beast

didn't blues saraceno use those for a bit?

Hope this is not H/J, I guess this would be part of the "etc" .... after been away for around 4 year of playing bass I decided to buy a bunch of gear and started to play again, did not spent too much money though, bought a MIM Jazz Bass (... and a Les Paul Epiphone for "recording" purposes...), a BG250 TC Electronic Amp and a bunch of stuff for home recording ... and actually this is my first (home made)recording! it started as a warming up exercise and then i just added a few notes and drums and keys and here you go, I'm just starting to learn so any suggestion are welcome. Thanks!

From what I gather, Blues Dad Alex licensed the amp to Mojave and then changed his mind so it was not advertised by Blues and sold only 17 or 18 of them.

The components are first rate. For example, Blues original amp used a Chinese made variac, this one uses a US Staco Variac. The quality of components and workmanship is superb, in contrast to Alex Saraceno's amps which sounded great but had that home-made look (although I would love to have one of Alex's amps).

It has perhaps the best cleans I've heard, and the dirty sounds can sustain forever if you want. A great amp!

Would love to see some of your gear - just enjoy seeing guitar gear. You're an EVH guy? Saw then in Toronto - great show. My buddy who is a Les Paul fanatic tried a recent Japan made EVH and said it was unbelievable - about $800 used - not bad!

Here is my (new) Ibanez RG2228 that was toured all over North and South America over the past few years... Sorry for the absolutely horrid iPhone pictures. Sadly my lady who does photography for a living isn't at home!

I know the names National, Dobro and Regal are mentioned. Also, that for my purposes: blues and picking style - round neck wood or wood/metal is preferable.

Anyhow, I'm wanting to buy one but not quite sure which.

TIA

You could also check out some Gretsch if you are in the market. My store got a couple midrange guys for midrange prices. I honestly don't know a ton about resonators, but from what I played they were nice playing. They priced from around 300-600$.

Hahaha! I'm actually the bass player by trade! Guitar is just a fun hobby I do!

The neck is huge, but not totally unweidly, thankfully! LOL!
