Seriously. I got mine for like 300-400. I mean that's a great ROI for me and all but no that listing is going to sit forever.

You have a -3A (not a -3)?

I'm not saying it's a realistic price at all, it's probably about 2500 too high, but it's a pretty rare amp.

Yes. Embarrassingly, I have a -3 and a -3A. Both came up as deals too ridiculous to pass up. Lots of folks have a -3 and love it but I have never gotten a sound I really was into from it. The 3A though sounds pretty gnarly, but because of the weirdo tubes I'm a little scared to let it rip all that often.

As an aside, on the old forum, someone mentioned an owner could have the 3A modded to have individual bias on the power tubes since the 6KG6A tube is so rare and getting a matched pair or quad simply is never going to happen ever again unless someone finds some in an old TV tech's basement. So I do have a small pile of soviet 6KG6A tubes that are unknown strength but the amp is still using the originals.

UPDATE, just out of curiosity, I did a quick ebay search and actually did find 4 NOS GE 6KG6A tubes! In the 10+ years I've owned this amp, I've NEVER seen a matched quad of these, let alone GE. Mashed BIN on that unicorn immediately. Thanks for bringing this up!!!!

I have four of the matching 8x10s too in various states of usability. While they're not Ampeg cabs, they're better-sounding than one might think.

You see listings like this that scream scam, but a part of you ask, what if...

First sanely-priced T40 I've seen in a minute (and more generally, although I've long known them as a blues lawyer-y shop, I've been pretty impressed with the deals at Dave's during this current explosion in used gear prices).

Is it me or does that bridge look cock-eyed?

It does, and it looks like the E string is falling off the fingerboard.
