Last weekend both the Arts Music shop in Newmarket and Long&McQuade in Markham had the red-tolex Blues Junior out on their floors.

It does have a different speaker than the standard tolex version, but as far as I've seen all fenders amps come with the same Groove Tubes in them, which are just rebranded Russian SoveTek tubes.
They are good solid long lived tubes but a tad noisy and harsh.

Kind of annoying these special edition amps are not found listed among the amp products pages.


Hey Peterp,
I am way down here in eastern canada, new brunswick.
We do have a "long and mcquade" subsidiary store here in saint john. I sent an email to store in ottawa and asked if it could be made available down here. Still waiting for reply.
It is annoying that the amps aren't listed, but what is really annoying is our canadian dollar. I was at a local music shop yesterday enquiring about pricing on a guitar and the guy told me he wasn't sure as he had 10 emails that day alone telling him to mark prices up anywhere from 15-23 % because of the uncertainty of our dollar. That's alot of sheckles for a big ticket item.
I do hope to pick up one of these beauties in the next couple of weeks, just hope they are still available.
cheers


Hey! I'm from New-Brunswick too, and i got my Blues Junior Texas Red in Long&Mequade music stop in Moncton... i saw one and it was sold, i came back later and i found one so i bought it.... you could always call in Moncton to ask if they have any in stock.. and if they do, i think they could ship it for free

It cost me around 590$.

Good luck!

Hi

I live outside of Vancouver, we have a local music store chain "Tom Lee Music" that I purchased mine from (they had 2 in stock at the time)
I checked with Long & Mcquade(Vancouver) too and they had 4 in stock at the same price.
it is a awesome amp! sounds great and is loud.

Regards,

I'm getting one of these for Christmas! I actually picked it up at Strait Music (in Austin) on Thursday, but I won't see it again until Christmas morning.

I really like the way the Celestion Vintage 30 sounds in the amp, and Strait gave me a good price on it (the last one they had). Now I'll need to get better pickups so that my guitar is worthy of the amp!

Hi peter,
Yeah we are pretty close . I got a quote from morris music in sussex for $589.00 U.S which is about 815.00 delivered , taxes in. When did you get yours? Was it before the markets went nuts and the dollar dropped out of site , or after?
Be interested in finding out. I am supposed to get a quote from music stop in saint john tomorrow.
cheers

Good luck!

It was jaqueline560 that got the BJ for 590$. :)

I managed to get all my latest "stuff" while the markets and the Cdn $ were at their high points. :D
Paid 699$cdn for the Blues Deluxe when I got it in September, now I think it is quite a bit higher in the shops.
*&^ dollar, I was starting to look for an extension cabinet too :(

sorry jaqueline,
got my messages mixed up a bit. You were lucky to get your gear when the dollar was worth something. I'm going to check with music stop tomorrow for their price. They called me back yesterday, but my wife forgot to tell me :roll: lol,
In any case , I will have one this week if there are any to be had.
Thanks for the info neighbour.
Cheers

Perhaps a strange question but does it come with a special cover also?
read something about it but I haven't seen any pictures of it, could someone please be so kind and upload a picture of it? :)
(I'm planing on buying one but the haven't arrived in Scandinavia yet :( )
