I finally scored a dream amp today

It is likely on a UPS truck right now so not fully in my posession yet, but after thinking about it for years I am finally pursuing and completing my Vibrolux amp collection. I dont have pics to share yet, but I am so excited I had to share. Today I finalized a deal on a 1961 brownface Fender Vibrolux amp. This thing is all original down to its slip cover, tremolo footswitch, speaker, transformers and all.

I may die with anxiety waiting for it to arrive next week, but in the meantime I had to share my news with some folks that might appreciate it.

Next on my list.....Tweed Vibrolux!!!!

I am consumed with jealousy and envy. Oh yeah, and hatred.
Land O' Goshen! What a seminal , glorious amp. I feel inadequate. I feel dirty.
OTOH, you'll never get a Tweed Vibrolux (w/o mortgaging your house), so I feel a little better.

That's an incredibly impressive score. It's one of those amps that deservedly get whatever the seller is asking for. grats!

You can't drop a bomb like that and then not say what you paid.

Exactly how much of a deal did you get?

hey you know what? Why don't you lay it on us. I'm feeling particularly sturdy today.

Nah. Some things are meant to keep to one's self. ;-) I feel particularly blessed for sure!!!

Nice score. I can't wait to see pics.

A world with a lot of amps is funner than one with too many guitars. You can never get enough tube tone!
 
Re: I finally scored a dream amp today

Congrats... that is a good feeling getting that amp you have wanted and dreamed about for so long!

Looking forward to some pics!

Awesome amp. Price paid matters not. You'll own it a lifetime. Price in 20 years will be 10x what ever you paid for it.

I just can't believe that it and my Brown Princeton both still have the original speakers and even the original Victoria Luggage Company slip covers. I actually keep stuff these days too and my little man cave is starting to get cramped. I may have to let my Tonemaster clone go.
