Dammit! I hope I get a job before this thing sells, because if I do, it won't!This is a super sleeper 60s amp that will make you the star of any situation where you need hairy blues-rock grit and dirt. Holy crap this thing is badass! Like a lot of early bass amps, it's too small for gigging, but as a guitar amp it's great. If you notice, it's very much like a Supro Thunderbolt with a pair of 6L6 power tubes and a 15" speaker. It has a very similar sound as well, only darker, I'm guessing from the larger cabinet and output transformer. There are videos on youtube on how to pull more treble out of the amp, with very simple mods.In fact, if this were a Valco/Supro amp, I can assure you it'd easily fetch twice what I'm asking. But until someone famous gets caught using one, you have the chance to grab a truly fantastic amp, at a very reasonable price. You can see in the pic of the schematic, this was designed in late '63. There is also what looks like a date stamp from 5/25/1965.
There are no date codes on the pots.Want your guitar to be a fat, growling tornado? Want your harp to shake and rumble the groins of everyone of everyone on the dance floor? Then buy this thing. I promise you this is worth EVERY penny, and I'm kinda hoping it doesn't sell."As Is" sale, with all sales final. Item guaranteed as described.Payment Terms:
Payment due within 3 days of sale. Contact me beforehand to work out any other arrangements.Buyer agrees to pay ACTUAL shipping, which will probably be in the area of fifty bucks. Buyer will pay for any overage, seller shall refund any balance. If desired, I can disassemble the guitar for smaller box and lower shipping rate.Local pickup is welcome.
Rock on!
