I might do it just to post more pics!Īll 3 of the tubes in this are dated 78-28 :: 28th week of 1978. Soooooooooooooooooooo, by the serial number on the chassis & speaker codes can this be dated? Do I need to get the the tranny numbers? From the looks of this, if I open up the chassis it will likely be the first time that's ever happened to this sweetie. ![]() Mic it up through the PA with just a hair back through the monitors to fatten it up (not that a 15" Jensen pushing guitar in a power trio needs a lot of fattening up). I gig miced up so I bet this will sound awesome with a Strat or SG, my homemade Bluesbreaker pedal, with the amp's tone on 5 and volume up around 7. Here are some hastily taken shots on my ancient Mavica thrown up on Photobucket. Basically, the story told to me by the seller looks to be 100% correct by the look of the amp in person. Grill is flawless with just the slightest of normal darkening with age (as it should be IMHO). Handle is pristine and all the hardware is dead mint. Faceplate is perfect with maybe 4 scratches from plug inserts and not a single mark anywhere on the printing anywhere. Tolex looks like it's never been touched with just the slightest of lifting on a couple edges in back - probably just from age since there's no fraying to be seen anywhere at all. "Hey - first one's on me!"Īll original looking right down to the Fender labeled tubes & 15" speaker. He was thrilled to learn that I play in a gigging band and his amp will see stage time as a result of the sale. He said it sounds great but he never really learned to use it so someone else should put it to it's intended use. I drove the 40 miles to his place out in the country and bought it for cash on the spot without even plugging it in. He bought it to learn to play guitar brand new years ago but never did figure out how to play guitar so it's sat in a closet "for years". Guy calls me back and says it works fine but has sat in the closet pretty much since new. The post was about an hour old and I figured it was probably already gone but what the hell. I hit reply & sent a message simply stating "I'll take it" as well as leaving voice mail on both phone numbers listed in the ad. On a whim, I hit the local CL to see what was posted this morning.ĭay-um!!! A SF Musicmaster Bass amp for $100?! I took a personal day off to get some things done like hitting the DMV for replacement plates (oh boy), bank stuff and other errands I never seem to have time for. ![]() I work 6 days/week every week + play in the band + do some web design work on the side so I don't get a lot of time to myself.
