Subject: Vox amps

I'm wondering if anyone out there has considered using Vox amps for
jazz guitar performance. I have a Vox Cambridge that I use for
practice and small gigs for my archtop and it really produces a nice
clean tone that rings both warm and clear for the p90 pickups on my
archtop. I've considered getting a larger Vox like the AC30. I'm
wondering if anyone has had any experience using these.
I've been gigging with a Matchless DC-30 (Vox AC30 clone) and a 50's Guild
Thinline hollowbody. I get a nice warm tone, with a touch of overdrive when
I turn up. I love it. Had many folks rave about it too. I plugged into
AC-30's (if the store had one) when I was guitar shopping. They don't have
a wide range of tones but they do have sounds great. I do more of a
jazz/funk thing, I haven't used it for a straight jazz gig.

You said of Pat Metheny's music:

Its more for the background to a tv program on the mating of
sperm whales than the music of the the city, blues, drugs...
And then, in the very next sentence, you said:

I'm not putting him down for what he does...
Ha! You kill me!

What makes this hilarious is that Metheny himself recently dumped
all over everybody's favorite easy target, Kenny G., for desecrating
Louis Armstrong by recording a postumous duet with him. Metheny
did, however, present a reasoned and coherent, if spittle-flecked,
argument as to why Mr. G.'s number was such a travesty.

Keep swinging.
