Finally got it :D I just bought a used (but new for me) Fender Supersonic 60 :D After it pretty much looked like I was going to buy a used BDRI, I saw a price of a used SS60 that I just couldn't pass by. A new one sells for around 1400€, got this baby for 900€. All the tubes were replaced about half a year ago and the owner says he didn't play it for more than 5h during this time. It is in virtually mint condition, despite the amp itself being a few years old.
After reading here on these forums that the reverb doesn't work on some units and that switching between channels (vintage/burn) causes a noticeable silence during the switch, I paid special attention to those 2 things and everything works as it should, no problems whatsoever :mrgreen: The only thing that could be a bit problematic a few years down the line is the hum that happens once you turn the amp on (from standby to play), but that only lasts for 2 seconds or so and an amp tech told me this would likely be a minor thing to fix and it isn't worth fixing it unless the hum starts to get worse.

A few pics:

The only thing I am not sure of is the reason for below:

But anyway, a very happy owner of my first tube amp :mrgreen:

Thanks guys :) I am not looking forward to the tube-changing time though, hope it's far away :lol: It's got 10 tubes so that won't be exactly cheap :P
