Maybe @TBird1958 can chime in on the resistance on her pair. I measured them and the resistance matched what was on the box label.
A great band. Also look up The Strange.

I typed in "The Strange - band" and "IV & the Strange" came up... ?
They sound much better through my Ampeg. Something always feels a little thin when I do DI for recording. Through the B-100r, they sound very rich with no distortion.
Mine was a Fender Super Reverb black face reissue from 2002 in mint condition with the reverb/tremolo foot pedal. IIRC GC ended up listing it for $1200 and it sold in a day or two. That means they would have given me about $700 for it, which I figured was a fair deal considering I only paid $600 for it.
Selling big amps and cabs gets kind of problematic. It's a PITA to list something big and heavy like this when it comes to shipping. And local only sales mean putting up with some pretty seedy Craigslist wankers that want to come over and look at it and try it out first, when potentially they're just there to case out the house for things worth stealing at a later date. And meeting at a neutral location like a parking lot is difficult because they'll want to plug it in and make sure everything works. So on stuff like this it really comes down to selling to someone local you know and trust or giving it to Guitar Center for 60 cents on the dollar. Which is what I'll be doing again tomorrow as I sell off more of my guitar stuff I don't use anymore (400 watt Fender Acoustasonic guitar and vocal amp).

Been listening to them in my garage since I got back from the GTG.
Sometimes a distorted "thin" sounding bass tone works better in a mix.
I do have a distortion pedal if needed. @GBassNorth
What case are y'all using for your epi 60s/ Vintage pro t birds? I've seen pictures of the epi cases where the headstock touches the top snug, id be nervous of that hitting something and snapping the headstock. I have also seen pictures of the same case where the headstock has clearance.

They'll fit in a Gibson case as well, but it's tight.
Nice. Yours fits great. Some of seen in that same case people have to force he headstocks in first then put the body down in it. weird. Thanks man.

It's Christmas somewhere in the world...
You should have no issue with the current Epi case.
