I need to reduce the amount of stuff I have around here. I am selling off some guitars, projects, parts and amps.

In case anyone is wondering why I have all this stuff for sale.

I need to scale back on what gear I have. I have one room so stacked with gear I have to pull guitar cases out of the room in order to step in there. Have some boxes of parts, a stack of guitars and three 7-guitar racks loaded in another room. I have my amps set in in a third room. However, I spend more time playing stretched out in the recliner in the living room than I do back where my amps are. I can see my playing days are going to be limited. Even working on guitars is getting harder to do. So it is time for me to start down sizing. I will probably keep around 6 amps. I would like to get down to 12 guitars. But 24 is a more realistic number. I would like to be able to put all my gear into one room and still have enough space in there to play. That means I have to let of of a lot of stuff I have accumulated over the years.

I have guitars that I used to enjoy playing, that are no longer comfortable for me to play. My health won't get any better. So I may as well start passing some of my gear on to others who can use it.

I used to build a lot of project guitars. I have some unfinished and have a fair number of parts. I have 6 projects I would still like to do and will hang onto parts for those. Otherwise, I will be selling off my parts accumulation. It is most for Strats. I have loved Strats for most of my adult life. There will be odds and ends for others in there.

As I work my way through the piles I will be adding more items to sell. I will hang on to some vintage gear, like my two 61 Reverb units. But I do have a lot of gear I need to part with. It will take me a while to sort through every thing.

Talk to you later,
Norm

This one I believe is a Squier Bullet body in daphne blue. I put a ($60) 57 Chevy pickguard on it (from Greasy Groove). I have a Fender MIM neck on it.
Standard wiring with 5-way selector switch. $75 for the loaded body. $200 for the entire guitar.

Some items have sold, but I still have a lot to sell. I may be adding a Fender Reverb unit reissue if I can figure out how to pack it for shipping.

I'm bumping this thread for Norm. I recently purchased his reverb unit and he shipped it quickly, answered all my questions and was just great to deal with in general. He's got some cool stuff for sale so you may want to check it out. Thanks Norm

Hi Norm

I'm in the market for a classic Fender amp, probably a blonde Bassman head 6GB6, so if you have one likely to heading for the door please let me know (or anything in a similar territory). cheers Rick

I don't have a blonde Bassman. I do have a Fender tweed Bassman Reissue (the 4x10). I might part with it. But shipping to Perth is going to be expensive. It is a very heavy amp.

Yes you're right, shipping on that would be crazy plus they are readily available here. I actually tried one for a while but didn't like it - too bright and full on attack, like a Deville. Not the Bassman I remember with sag and juicy crunch. Thanks anyway.
