Hey all. So i think i know the answer to this but opinions etc will be helpful. Its definitely seen lots of road use but functions 100% from what im told. The amps size does not deter me at all. So what ya think worth 300? Thanks!
 
THESE ARE TERRIBLE AMPS.. What bass player really wants to sound like Jaco or John Paul Jones? Or keep up with Marshall stacks with one amp and cabinet??

But go ahead and buy it and I will take it off your hands..I'll even pay shipping!

100% FUNTIONAL??? That is only good if you're up against stacks..and who uses stacks any more..so buy it and ship it to me..

I 'll be glad you did.

..PLEASE!

If it's fully functional absolutely. Even if it needs a little work that's still a pretty great price. Those are phenomenal sounding amps (have fun moving it around, though).
 
Does it look like this one?

I just bought the 360 preamp off of eBay for $300. Guy said it sat for years and it was untested. I took the chance and bought it. It works great and sounds great. I'm going to have it checked out anyway and put a better grounded plug on it. Running it into a SWR Big Ben with a SWR Amplite powering it for now. Can't find a 361 cabinet.
 
The pre amp by itself was not very impressive to me, but that powered cab was quite a beast when I got mine back in the late 1980's. I quickly replaced the preamp with a GK 250 MB preamp section and used the powered cab.

I ended up leaving mine at a rehearsal space and lost it, but that's another story.
