hey guys what to do

Do you have other amps?
If not, I'd keep it.
Like you said, it's not costing you anything.

 

Its paid for. Its the only one you have. Keep it.
Rock on.

 

If you decide to sell take a look at how much they've sold for here in the classifieds, to get an idea of asking price.

 

If I didn't need the space and didn't need the money I wouldn't sell. If a gig you wanted to do came up at short notice it would be damn irritating to have to go panic amp shopping.

 

My opinion is incredible biased

Can't stand Plastic corners. Can't stand metal grills. Absolutely don't like ozite carpet/ rat fur. And have shut down every mark bass amp I've touched.

So.....

Sell it / trade it

Usually used gear is about half the value of new. Then some depending.

I'm sure someone will buy it though.

 

Put me down for keep it unless you find something similar that you like better. A 300w small combo is a nice thing to have around.

 

I have it’s little brother the 121P and even though I don’t play it much, I’ll never sell. Too loud and portable. Best jam session/audition/quick grab combo ever. I’m sure this is similar. I actually like the rat fur because I Velcro pedals right to the top, like a tuner. Sits in my basement most days.

 

Just so I understand... You're not gigging right now, but you play bass at home I imagine, and you're contemplating selling your amp?

 

You bought the amp in 2008, but I'm not sure from the bit in bold whether you gigged the amp for less than one year, and haven't used it since 2009, or that you gigged it until 2018, but not for the last year. I suspect the second option. Either way, when you say it has had a towel over it for some time, it sounds like you're not plugging it in at all. Not to practise, or even just have some fun. That's a bit sad. My advice would be to keep it. It's all paid for, it's quite small so it doesn't take up much room, you like the way it sounds. Maybe someone will invite you to a gig or a jam one day. My other advice would be to play it. Enjoy it. Keep your skills up. For when that invitation comes.

 

Store it in a closet until the time comes you need it.

 

Keep it. You’ll be glad you did somewhere down the line...

 

Keep it. Amps are hard to sell, and you won’t get the $’s you want for it anyway. You’ll need it again sooner or later, and then you’ll be forced to buy something similar, for more money than you want to spend, if you no longer have it.

At least that’s how these type of decisions have played out for me.

 

Whenever you sell something you bought new, you take a big hit. Unless you are giving up playing, keep it. It's not THAT big for a practice amp, and if start in a band again, you are ok unless you are gigging loudly.

 

I used to have an SWR combo back in the early 2000's - it was nothing really special but I remember how excited I was to get it. I remember waffling for months while I saved the cash to go buy it and how good it was to finally plug it in and play.

About a year later I upgraded to a stack that was better all around for my needs. I sold it about 3 months after upgrading, even though it was not "eating" anything, but it was taking up room and I thought it could go find a new home.

Still, to this day I regret ever selling that SWR. If I were you, I'd keep it.

 

I've had the same temptation a few months ago. But in the end, I was glad I kept my gear. Keep it.

 

For me, the decision boils down to " Do I have enough money for food and have I eaten in the last week." If the answer is yes to either question, I'd keep it.

 

Keep it!

 

OP doesn't really state why he has the urge to consider moving it, so hard to really help, but yeah, I'm in the camp of keeping it unless there are other critical, unspoken reasons to move it.

My benchmark for used gear is at about 50% of new, so that's probably the ballpark to expect to get for it if you do decided to sell it.

 

If someone told me I could have only one amp and it had to be a combo, God forbid, I'd pick yours. That's a nice amp and is actually legitimately giggable.
