Details

I have a 1960's Shure PA head and speaker cabinets for sale.

The all tube head was recently cleaned and serviced by my amp tech.

Everything works, if you are looking for that late sixties early seventies live PA sound, look no further, it's surprisingly loud, clean and you can dial in all the 70's reverb you can stand!

I used it for a few garage band rehearsals, it is perfect for that use. Six channels, whatever you put in comes out in warm tube goodness!

If you wanted to use it as a main PA, it would be perfect for Americana, folk, acoustic, bluegrass, etc.

Asking 600.00 cash, local pickup. Happy to drive a couple hours one direction if needed.

Only trade interest would be a tube driven bass preamp, or a pretty hefty power amp.

Thanks for looking!

Less barking, more wagging!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I was my dad's roadie back in the late sixties and early seventies, and hauled his Shure Vocalmaster to and from more gigs and rehearsals than you can shake a stick at.

GLWTS! :)

Bump for a making me feel real old..... My first decent band had this rig. It worked pretty good until we found out what Marshalls and SVTs were good for for. I was on the bill for a concert with the Association back in the 70s and their whole PA setup was two of those rigs.....

Well built and dependable equipment.

Oh my God, Haven't seen one of these in years. I remember the year, 1971, the singer of our band bought a Vocal Master. Man we had THE PA. Nothing better. Until then, we were using Lafyette ( If any of you other old TBers remember those)
Good luck with the sale

I played in SO many bands that used these. Those heavy speaker columns had extruded metal edges, with no corner protectors. They will rip your pants, and cut your legs. Believe me, I know.

That's just the way things were in the equipment world back then. This looks like it might be the cleanest one I've seen in 35 years!

Here's another bump for fond and not so fond memories! These things ruled the world for a while. If your volume needs are minimal, I'd say the price is right!

Free bump but I think this would be posted in "other". Not in bass amp section.

I was puzzled where to post it because technically it falls under the description of "amps, preamps and cabinets" lol.

If a mod feels like it should be somewhere else, I'm perfectly fine with the thread being moved.

I found a hard-shell case for my upright locally for sale, so something has to move, I need cash!

550.00 for a fully functional piece of history!
