I am selling my West Grande R Amp which was totally refurbished by Dave West around five years ago. It is in perfect working order and in clean condition. It is the premium model with working reverb.West Amps were made in very limited quantity in Flint Michigan and made famous by Grand Funk. The Grande is the 75-100 Watt model w/ 2 KT-88s named after the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. I bought this amp a couple years ago from a friend who worked with Dave West on the refurbishment. It is loud and relatively clean and clear like a vintage Hiwatt or Ampeg. It runs very quiet. I want it to go to a good home and be appreciated. I am unlikely to ever use it as a 40-50 watt amp is about all I am likely to play these days.The power cable has been replaced and the head accepts 4, 8 or 16 ohm cabinets. I will include the dust cover shown.I will ship only to the continental USA. This amp is heavy. I will pack carefully and ship by UPS or FedEx. Please ask any questions and I'll try to answer.
