This thread have already been done (in the amp section I think).

What? Are you tired of kicking yourself in the nuts?

I like my Jag though my '59 Bassman. As someone else said, it thickens it up nicely. I like my JM through a vintage AC-30. I've never tried it into any of the non-UK Vox amps, but from what I've read about the various CC-what nots, I'll stick to JMI or Korg UK amps. No master volume, bright caps or reverb to muck things up.

Princeton Reverb;
If volume is a issue; 2 Princeton Reverbs
If volume is still an issue; 4 Princeton Reverbs

I kick myself in the nuts each day since I have sold mine.

Peavey Bandit: if it was good enough for Lou Reed, Robert Quine, and Andy Gill, it's good enough for anyone.

I usually play both through an older Roland JC-120. Gives the Jaguar a certain sparkle and my main Jazzmaster with P90s can seemingly do anything through it.

That said, I recently acquired one of those old Randall Commander Bass amps, and have been running both through that a bit. The thickness definitely helps the Jaguar, would probably be cool to record with actually.

I am living the cliché playing my JMJM and hacked VM Jaguar through a Vox AC30C2.

I almost never get the volume over 9:00 and the master over 12:00, so I have been considering switching to a Vox AC15 of some description to save my poor back :/

I mostly use a 90s Peavey Classic 50-410 for everything. It sounds pretty good, even with the stock speakers in it still.
I take my Rivera era Deluxe Reverb II in sometimes for a treat. It has a Cannabis Rex which really made the headroom usable. It’s a delight to use when the temperature and humidity and whatever else makes these things behave the way they do is just right. I find the Peavey doesn’t sparkle as much as the DRII when it’s dialed in, but like a good workhorse amp it is easy to find a decent sound. Good with pedals, musical feedback, has wheels..

I've gone thru the downsizing Amp thing too. First I played my AV65 Jag & AV65 JM through my Fender Twin. Big, heavy & loud so I got a 65 DRRI. Still pretty loud. So I got a RI 65 Princeton Reverb which I use most of the time.

I got a Vox AC15CC1X which sounds great but is sorta heavy & still loud. But, I love that Amp! Heard about a Special run of Vox AC10C1's with Celestion Greenback & thought I'd give it a try. Sounds great & still plenty loud. I upgraded the Tubes & I really this Amp too. Especially the 26 lbs. & smaller footprint.

As I mentioned previous I also like to run the Vox & Fender stereo through a Keeley 30MS Double Tracker Pedal has some xlnt Settings. I particularly like the Abbey Mode Settings...

Ever since my wife bought a Red Knob Twin, I like that amp the most. The 25W switch makes it usable at lower volumes, which is very welcome. I know that these amps are not amongst people's favourites but to me, it sounds like a Twin should sound.

At home, I play via my Laney Cub 12 which I think is the perfect bedroom amp - and has a nice "British" note to it which I also like a lot, especially for a clean sound that is "on the edge" and then adding pedals (Reuss RSH-02, Distortion+) for more drive when playing leads.

I've gone through so many different amp variations - I need an amp to work with all the guitars, not just with offsets, so some that sounded fantastic with a Jaguar or Jazzmaster (but not with an ES335 or Gretsch) bit the dust. It took a few years but I found my two 'types'.

I use a Swart AST Master combo (which can do loud or apartment volumes thanks to a really decent master circuit that doesn't seem to suck the life out of the sound when engaged) and two Princetons (a '71 Princeton Reverb and a '73 Non-Reverb). The Swart is a darker amp than the Princetons - not muddy, but I guess more like a Tweed or Bassman than a blackface/SF Fender. Nothing sounds bad through it - but it'll tame the bite or cut of a Jaguar without losing the definition or shine, and accentuate the Jazzmaster in ways that remind me of the Bassman reissue I had years ago (that I loved but which was far too loud).

The Princetons of course do what Princetons do - and Jag/JMs sound great through them, but have a different character. I also love what the Princeton does with old humbuckers and P90s.

Those two different amp types cover all bases for me - I can pretty much get any sound that I want somewhere between those two.
