Yup, hopefully I will be picking up my new Z-28 1x12 on Monday evening. This weekend is going to drag some serious a** - huh? I'm extremely excited. I have owned quite a few Zs but never a Z-28. It's another that has always haunted me. I lucked out and will be getting it in exchange for a guitar. Hopefully I will have something to share with you guys on Monday. That is unless I can't pull myself away from it. Stoked, Bill Here is a sneak preview of her:

Awesome looking amp. Congrats!
I just got my Z-28 a couple of weeks ago. Mine's a 4x10 combo.
Hope you dig the sound of yours as much as I do mine!

same exact amp I have, and it looks like the writing is on the border of the cab or a tad below...as all of us blonde 28 owners know, if you get one with a purple lamp and writing on or below the border, that those are "special" amps with extra mojo....having been prayed over by a blind, one-legged 123 year old chinese siamese twin...at midnight, on a tuesday, dressed in a clown suit while fluffing the scrotem hairs of an albino pocket gopher at the crossroads......does it get better than that...yes it does...!! all of that worked!....its a killer amp that will ruin you ...... all kidding aside, great amp you will be more than satisfied...and it sounds totally killer with an avatar 2-12 open back bottom underneath the combo for larger gigs...or for that phil spector signature "wall of sound" You will not be dissappointed... I did a NOS rect. and changed the speaker to a RedFang....the biggest improvement was the rect. tube, a NOS mullard from NiteHawk here on the board...best $80.00 I ever spent when you look at the difference it made...you can hear it right away...however, YMMV... congrats on a great amp..

FishMan..its a killer amp that will ruin you ...... I've been ruined since the very first time I heard a Z amp...just happened to be a Z28. I was at a huge wedding reception...too many folks for the room size...when the band fired up I heard this amazing tone from 80' away. I elbowed through the crowd to discover this wonderful piece of equipment! It's taken me 3 years to get my playing skills to the point to really appreciate the amp. 2 days and a wakeup....can't wait! I've got an Avatar w/ 2 Tonkers in it....wonder if it will loud enough????LOL
