Here is my 100% original...
    Has never been touched by anyone except me when I power her up to play.
    I am the original owner,I bought this new in 1973 from Sam Ash in white plains,N.Y.
    I gigged this lightly in the 70’s and has been sitting with the original Fender covers on it since then.
    There are no rips or anything in the Tolex. Cabinet is the 215.
    All tube design with point to point wiring. She works well and has that Vintage old school Fender tone.
    Since she is all original just like she left Fender... I would have new CAPS. Installed.

    OMG! I had a rig just like that! My very first rig, too. My GF at the time hocked it while I was deployed for $50 to get diapers for her kids that weren't mine. :mad: Man, I miss it. If I was in the market ... GLWTS!

    Brings back memories.
    My first “good amp”. Bought mine in 1971.
    $250 plus tax included covers.
    Traded it + cash for an Acoustic 370.

    That' basically what I did too, but if my memory is right I think I bought the Acoustic 361? ...Which is long gone,but for some reason This thing just sounded so RIGHT to me that I never parted with it.
    I also bought a new 1973 Fender jazz when I bought the Bassman for $306 with the case including tax...I still have it!

    Thank you to all you guys for the awesome comments!!

    360 had the power amp in the speaker cabinet. Top was a preamp.
    371 had the amp in the top “head”.

    As much as I feel this is worth $1200.or more...
    I am dropping the price from $1200 to $1000.
    Come and get it ,or I can meet within a reasonable distance.
