Standel Amps

[BoulderBassist]

Here are a couple of pictures of the Standel amp that I bought used in the 70's that I used as a guitar amp (this was before I discovered the bass, please forgive my youthful indiscretion )

The cab is an Artist 30 that has 2 15"speakers and it says 140w on the back plate - it is a sealed cab so I can't tell the speakers, I think they may be JBL. The pre-amp is a MC II G that is rated at 3 watts. The serial numbers both start with 69 so I assume that it was made in 1969.

Does anyone know if it was this intended as a guitar amp or a bass amp or even both?

It appears that the pedal steel players love Standel, but is this later model desirable to anyone. It is just gathering dust since there is something wrong with it, but I am also wondering what its value might be if fixed.

I had that exact amp as my first really good amp as a very young player. Have pictures of me playing it. Great amp. Wish I had it back

I had that exact amp as my first really good amp as a very young bassist. Have pictures of me playing through it. It was a great amp. Wish I could find one.
