Pickup in Chicago.
Can deliver to some Midwest/E Coast locations in May or West Coast if you are willing to pay now and wait 'til August.
I've gravitated towards other equipment, and it's time to move some things...
1966(?) Fender Super Reverb. Got this when Rich Fessler worked at Rock and Roll Vintage. Works great, sounds great. Has a mix of (3) Webers in it with (1) old speaker for flavor. I think I have (4) old CTS speakers I could put in it instead. $1800
1966(?) Fender Vibrolux Reverb. Got this amp from John Barlow. Put some money into it. John McNeece in Athens GA did the initial tune-up. Tim Schroeder put a Mercury Magnetics FatStack transformer in it to run an extension cabinet–it can go down to 2ohm load. Had another Mercury in it when I bought it--can include. Has Weber 10F150 speakers in it…can sell with the original CTS speakers, which were working fine when I got it. $2800
Early 70s Hiwatt DR201 200W bass amp. Probably the best bass amp ever made. Deep low end, sounds great. (6) Gold Lion KT77s in it, I think–Tim Schroeder set it up. Anyway. Clean, and it rocks. $3500
(2) Ampeg V4s. 6550s for max output and clean headroom. Bias circuit mod by Kerry Dulin to make it easy to keep the power tubes lined up. Super reliable–these were my main amps for most of Silkworm and then Deep Tunnel Project. Workhorses, as close to bulletproofed as you can get. $900 each.
1956 Guild Aristocrat. Fully hollow body with no F-holes. Excellent sounding pair of Franz pickups. Reglued binding, professionally repaired headstock, replica pickguard (Geoff Benge on all that). A great player. $4000
1962/3 Magnatone 435 bass head. Originally came with a 32ohm (!) 4x10 cab. I found this orphaned head somewhere and had a switchable transformer put in it (4/8/16ohm). Very cool, thick sounding amp. $800.
1980s Yamaha G100 4x10” combo amp. $300
1980s Yamaha G100 2x10” combo amp. $300
Both in good nick. I really like these things.
