Up for sale is a 61 Gibson GA 400 amplifier in very good condition showing it's patina from years of enjoyment. This was Gibsons top-of-the-line amp and one of their best sounding amps they ever made. The 60-62 tweed era utilized the 6L6 power tubes 60 watt circuitry which produced a much better sound in my opinion, as opposed to the 6550 tubes that the 59 and earlier ones used. Also, it has a closed cab design which in my opinion produces a better sound. This is a three channel amp with each channel having a separate voicing along with a compressor. It's versitle to transport with the top handle and the two slots on the the sides. The amp is all original except for the speakers, electrolytic caps, and some of the tubes. It was just serviced with the new caps, power tubes and matched nos biasing tubes. The speakers are Jensen 12" vibrantos which sound great in this amp. Much better then the original Norelcos. Great amp at a reasonable price fully serviced and ready to enjoy !! PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Any item over a pound ships UPS Ground. Some cases using USPS is cheaper and we will have that on each item page. If the shipping calculator seems wrong please email us and we will calculate it for you. It has been wrong before. PLEASE! email us if you are unhappy with the shipping given on the calculator. Giving us a low star rating after the transaction is over does not help either one of us. We will not be able to sell on ebay if this keeps accruing. We do give actual shipping amounts on all our items. So please if you feel it is too high ask why. Thank you! We do research each item to see if UPS or USPS is better priced. All items shipping UPS or USPS are insured for the full purchase price! (This means if you receive the item and it is damaged DO NOT throw away any of the packing material or box! And email us that day.) OHIO addresses will be charged OHIO sales tax.

Our items are not prepacked so the Weekday morning after the auction is paid for, we will pack the item up and ship the next day. We have to allow enough time to pack the items well. Due to the fact that almost all of our items are Vintage we ask that you research them also, to error is human and since they are Vintage we could make an occasional error. If you feel the pics are not close enough or good enough please email and ask us for more we will be happy to to that. If you do have any issue with an items PLEASE email us and give us a chance to make it right, because we strive for happy customers. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS: Please email us first. AND WAIT FOR A RESPONSE. Some items are just not cost effective to be shipped internationally due to size and or price. Meaning it could be more then you are willing to pay to have it shipped or returned if it something you do not want. Keep in mind if you are purchasing an item that shipping to and back again exceeds the full price of the item then it would be a waste to purchase. I am sorry if it sounds like I do not want to sell international but this can get costly and our reputation in order to make a living is very important. So please keep this in mind when inquiring. Again do not hit the buy it now till you get an email with the answers you may have to your questions and a shipping quote so you can then decide if you would like to make the purchase with the knowledge this is a Vintage item so it may not be perfect. Our trips to the post office are limited due to the drive time. So if you buy something and we just went it could be a week before we go again. We try to go 1 time a week but sometimes it can be 8 to 10 days for International shipments only. US shipments are mailed everyday from our location. Thank you to all of new customers and returning customers. Vintage Tone Music
