Having the amp tech that worked on your amp tell you that your amp is the best Vibrolux Reverb he has ever heard:


PRICELESS!!!!!

Not to mention the fact that the amp should be good for another 30 years of use with proper maintenance!!

Wow dudes!!! I got my Lux back yesterday and it freaking smokes!! I knew it was a special amp and had a mojo that I have never been able to get out of any other amp I have owned even before I took it in for a BF and refresher. Now that it is back it is pretty much indescribable how good this amp really sounds.

I am seriously overwhelmed and soooo proud of this amp that someone would once have called a turd upon site of it. Even the day I bought it from the music store with 30 years of dust, dirt, rat turds, roaches, cat hair etc. I knew it had THE vibe. Now after complete restoration it would make even Roy proud!!!

Here's the big kicker. You may add up all the money I spent on this amp and gasp, but truly if you compare what was spent getting this amp to where it is now and compare that price to what even the cheapest boutique amp costs you'll realize that fixing up an old amp is a no brainer and may be a good way for those that don't want to spend 2k on an amp to get into the real deal.

I know I am bragging, but it's just because I feel like a proud father of a new child. :dance: :banana: :bowdown: :smokin: :usa1:

NEW STUFF DONE TO OLD STUFF ROCKS!!!
 
Re: My Vibrolux Reverb...............................

shhh...there are plenty of cosmetically/electronically challenged amps out there that go for a song and can be fixed pretty easily and cheaply. Given the availibility of aftermarket replacement parts for Fenders, they are some of the best candidates...
 
Re: My Vibrolux Reverb...............................

who knew that that ol stuff we played back in the day would turn out to be so happenin' :D

Re: My Vibrolux Reverb...............................

A Lux and a Tele. I can here the Country licks from here!
 
Re: My Vibrolux Reverb...............................

Isn't it cool when you send something off into the unknown, not really sure if it will turn out o.k. & it comes back better than you would've guessed ????

Very very cool Greg....play it in good health ! :beerchug:
 
Re: My Vibrolux Reverb...............................

wow dude, that thing looks AMAZING! You're gonna have to give me the info for your guy...after I get my Z, I may send my Super Reverb in for the same treatment :)
 
Re: My Vibrolux Reverb...............................

Excellent! Can't wait to see/hear it in person. :fingersx:
 
Re: My Vibrolux Reverb...............................

A blackface 75? They went silver in 68 or so. Have you had the face plate replaced or modded?
 
Re: My Vibrolux Reverb...............................

I say by the end of February it's sold.
 
Re: My Vibrolux Reverb...............................

That was the point...he had it "blackfaced" which means he had his silverface amp changed to blackface specifications.

I know what "blackfacing" means. It doesn't typically involve changing the faceplate though. The pic he posted is quite clearly sporting a blackface face plate, not the silver you would expect on a 75.
 
Re: My Vibrolux Reverb...............................

right, well a lot of guys that get their amps blackfaced switch the plate to complete the look
 
Re: My Vibrolux Reverb...............................

1- Misc cosmetic fixes $100

im assuming that the new face plate fell under this aspect

They don't in this part of the country. I have never heard of it ever being done.

Umm...every part of the country I've been in people talked about doing it...from New York, to Florida, to Los Angeles...it's pretty popular. It's why you have to be careful when buying "blackface" fender amps
