Well, at last I've got my new amplifier! I picked it up from my son's flat in Birmingham after the eBay seller kindly delivered it to him (it was advertised as "pick up only" and the seller kindly took it to Andi's place because Andi doesn't drive). I got it for a song - thanks Mark - and I was worried that it wouldn't live up to expectations.
I shouldn't have worried.
There is something about a spring reverb unit that sets my soul on fire. This amp - a Custom Sound Trucker - has such a reverb. Pure heaven! Ecstacy! It is not massive, just 45 watts RMS, but it's more than big enough to use at home and I dare say it could hold its own in a small gig venue. Needless to say I have now damaged the tendons in my left hand by playing my new guitar through this amp all day!
I will persevere. I will practise again tomorrow. And the next day, and the next day and the next . . .
The amp isn't perfect - it's probably more than 20 years old - but it's probably the best amp I have ever owned.
There's only one thing to say - I'm gonna KEEP ON TRUCKIN'
