The best Fender amp?

MikeZ	The best Fender amp? I know im opening myself up here for a deluge of comments..but here goes. im looking to build a fender style amp, i play through a strat and want the amp to be my clean/bluesy amp of my setup, alongside my DIY marshall plexi (lead amp). the question is, from a pure clean tone POV (excluding reverb and vibrato from the picture). whoch fender thats over 40-45 watts is the consensus pick? im persnally between either a 59 bassman, 65 twin reverb, or a super reverb. whatever i buld will be in "head" format, mated with either an appropriatly speakered 1 by 12 or 2 by 12. thanks!!!
