@bobdoes: there are a plethora of options. How loud? A small gigging amp, or mainly for practica and recording? Fender-, Vox-, or Marshall- style? Or other? What was the original amp, were you happy with sound/performance? Are you sure you don't want to just fix that one?

HOLY CRAP, speaking of that time period, this FOUR SEASONS "disco version" was one of the first records I bought with my own money. Good grief.

@p-90.. oh yeah.. just realized how loaded this question is.. I got a lot to consider.. and nahh.. sorta wanted it to die.. It use to make a loud hum and if I punched the top like the fonz it would stop and work fine.. well I fonz'd it for the last time last night.. a LOUD low hum, a bright flash of light/sparks in the ventilation area and all the lights dimmed and died.. and I jsut stared blankly and sadly..

@bobdoesthings Gear questions are always loaded and opinions so often make it worse. So here's my opinions. It somehow seems pedestrian, but I swear by my Blues Jr. Nice clean sound with a pretty broad sonic range. I'm mostly a rhythm player.I've got a friend who made miraculous sounds out of a Vox ACT4TV. it's a 1x10 He's a more aggressive player than me and it worked perfectly for him. More mid-range than the fender.

@bob: Oh, you can do much better than that!!!
Like you say, just as well, it's a chance to trade up to something much better. I suggest you start by looking at the wide field of 15-30 watt "Vox-style" amps that are available, there are even a number of the that switch from 15 or even 8-10 watts up to 30. Great for getting big all-tube tone at low volumes. Do look around for what's for sale "used", too.

@bob - its also good to verify that your dealing with good salespeople who wont fly off the handle. A good test is walk into the establishment early - when then unlock the door--go directly to the largest nastiest looking amp and turn it to 10 and really explore the sound space.

@amp shoppers:
there's a lot of articles/webpages like these, you can read a bunch of them toget a sense of what's out there. BUT you gotta play through the amp yourself of course, before you buy. Again, it really pays to see what's used in your area.
