50 watt tube amp with 1 15". According To the serial number, this amp was built in March of 1975. It works great, sounds great, but it's not something that I'm going to use much. It has some scuffs, the top handle has been removed and stylish brown luggage handles have been added to the sides. It has four casters on the bottom, but none of them swivel. The pilot light does not work. Other than that, this is a great vintage tube amp ready to be enjoyed. If you want to sink some money into it, they are worthy of modding into a small beast of a tube amp. ~~$500~~ $400 or reasonable offer plus half the shipping. I get a deal on shipping at work so I'm thinking it will be about $30-$40 bucks for each of us.

Tuesday Bump. I'm open to trade or cash offers. There's some real tube goodness on the block here. Tell your guitards; get a good tech to add a master volume this is a killer guitar amp.

Early Thursday bump. I thought there was some love on TB for old tube Traynor amps. No offers?

Sweet amp. I had mine re-tubed and added a Cerwin Vega speaker to it. I listed it for $350 and couldnt get a reply...Good luck with sale.

I'm really curious. With all the love for 50 watt tube Ampegs and Fenders, not even a lowball offer on this one. Heck, I may just keep it.

Saturday bump. May put it on evilbay tomorrow. Make me an offer.

Sunday bump. Get over the hate, Talkbassers. Sure it doesn't say Ampeg on it, and sure it's Canadian, but it's a great amp with lots of warm tubey goodness!!!

Awesome amp. I have one with an Emi Big Ben in it. Sounds great for bass at lower volume, and sounds AMAZING on guitar! Fantastic classic overdrive sound. Basically a 50w plexi in a 1x15 closed back combo.

Still around... for a short time only... and $100 cheaper.

Thursday bump, you anti-Canadian bastages.

Smokin' Toaster · #14 12-26-2011, 10:37 PM

Still around and available... for now.

Smokin' Toaster · #15 12-29-2011, 09:24 AM

Make me a stupid offer. I promise - if I say no I'll do it nicely.

I can hear the TB community after reading that one: "yeah, right"

No really, I promise.

I used this on a gig last night... nevermind, I'll keep it. It sounded good, produced enough volume to keep up with 2 guitarists and a keyboard player. Our guys know how to manage their volume, so it might not do with the "make you deaf in half a set" guitard, but it's a fine amp.
