Jeff_H said:I saw that as well. Hard to authenticate, but cool none the less. 10k is a little too pricey. If that was the real deal "brown sound" amp, Edward would probably be all over it. You watch...he may file an injunction to have the auction stopped...knowing Edward, even though the guy offers to sell it back to him.
What happened to that amp? You sell it?Gearjoneser said:Cool amp. I'd love to plug into it for awhile.
This area has a lot of those treasures floating around, since the Valley is chock full of guitar players. I had a heavily modded 72 Superbass for a few years. I took it into a local tech, who had his name all over the chassis, and asked him about it. He couldn't believe I owned it, because he said it was one of those local holy grails that's been passed around by famous producers and used on albums like Cult's Sonic Temple and the Metallica Black album, and several others like Enuff Z Nuff. He was startled that I told him I bought it for $525 from a crackhead, because he said it was a mint 72 with about $2000 worth of mods by him. He even knew the famous crackhead that sold it to me, and confirmed that he'd even worked on it for him! he he
Gearjoneser said:That amp is probably what the guy says it is, although I'd wanna know for sure before plunking down that kinda cash.......not that I would.
The amp I had was my main amp for about 2 years, then I sold it to help fund my Bogneritis. I paid $525, added 70 dollars worth of new tubes, and sold it for $1800.
I wish I had it back. It was the heaviest sounding vintage Marshall I've ever heard, and was modded with a footswitch, that toggles between stock tone and Metallica Black album tone. It was a real crusher.....it had two extra pre tubes installed.
