PM me with questions, and I’ll answer what I know. I’m not going to ship this beast, but I’ll assist in any reasonable way I can if you want to hire a shipper in the Pacific Northwest to crate, palette, and ship. Located in Portland, Oregon.

Will consider some trades: Fender PJ basses, esp. CIJ, MIJ. Vintage Fender P or J in players condition. I’m a sucker for bound rosewood Fender jazz necks with block inlays, so I’d consider a reissue 75 J bass, a Lakland DJ-4, or even a nice vintage neck. It’s best, of course if values were close to go up or down with cash to match.

 

Knocking this down $100.

New price $1100!

 

Is there no interest or love for this magnificent beast? Fifty pure watts of thumping fury!

Whew! I didn't want it to waste away when it could be enjoyed!

 

Uggh! Too bad. Freight for a heavy amp is such a deal breaker nowadays. I would have also been open to a nice 70s GS, KZ, or CB! :C)
