Read Everything Please. UPDAAAATE, amp is in perfect working order. read on

Newest Info: The amp has been returned to full functionality. An amp tech friend of mine was in the area and was willing to take a look. It was the fuse and they found no sign of the amp playing a part in it. Checked with the studio our gear is generally housed in and they confirmed that they experienced a bad power surge and that the amp was plugged in for it, so it all checks out.

The amp is returning to pre as-is pricing with a clean bill of health. Life finds a way!

Keeping this for transparency, the amp had a blown fuse
:"Well, this is unfortunate. This amp sat most of this time except for being used to record an album (why I didn't bump it for so long). Plugged it in to try it out today and see if I really wanted to part with it. Lo and behold, it has no output. The VU meter moves, but nothing comes out. No sound in the front end or plugged into the effects IN. Could be something silly. If anyone has a suggestion, I'm all ears. That being said, I know nothing about messing with amps and my local tech has recently DRAMATICALLY increased his prices."

Well, this is unfortunate. This amp sat most of this time except for being used to record an album (why I didn't bump it for so long). Plugged it in to try it out today and see if I really wanted to part with it. Lo and behold, it has no output. The VU meter moves, but nothing comes out. No sound in the front end or plugged into the effects IN. Could be something silly. If anyone has a suggestion, I'm all ears. That being said, I know nothing about messing with amps and my local tech has recently DRAMATICALLY increased his prices.

Sooooooooo I'm checking if someone nobler, wiser, and more technologically versed than myself would like to take this on. It was a STUNNING amp when it worked and they are now over $1000 brand new.

As-IS price is $400 Shipped. If it's a cheap/silly fix, you get an amazing amp at a ridiculous price with ridiculous flip potential. If it takes a bit more time/money, you're most likely getting it at an extremely fair price with good flip potential. If it costs as much to fix it as it did to buy it, well, that sucks but it will still be a fair used price on an increasingly inaccessible amp.

All that said, reasonable offers will be entertained but there is definitely a point where I'll just have my guy fix it and leave it in the studio, hoping the prices continue to rise.

Questions I will answer before they are asked:
I tried different cables
I tried different outlets
I tried a different cab
I tried different basses
I have not checked the D.I. signal
I have not tried replacing/checking the fuse. I know nothing about amp internals
I will not get it checked out (I mean, if I was gonna do that I would just get it fixed and keep it for now, as described above)

And this should be obvious, but as this thread is labeled "As-Is" and the amp being non-functioning has been thoroughly disclosed, there are no returns.
