Yeah, I have a few things left but I'm just not playing surf anymore. At one point, I had 3 Showman amps, including yours. Back in 2011 they were everywhere for decent prices. My Jazzmaster has been the guitar I've had from the start. George Tomsco signed it and I'll not part with it. I'm using it and a Telecaster in my current band. Haven't decided if I want to sell my reverb tank yet. —Matt "tha Kat" Lentz |

Good luck with the selling. That Jag is really rad! I've pieced together an army of Jags with vintage necks and mine are as good if not preferable to any vintage Jag I've played. My point... Somebody should snap your Jag up ASAP! Last edited: Mar 09, 2016 20:30:13 |

I can vouch for Matt's gear. It's all solid. The Jag is killer! I've had it apart while installing the mute & I have no doubt the neck is genuine. The Showman sounds like, well, a Showman. No surprises there, just a good old amp. The Bass VI is cool & I miss having it in the Ottomans. Good luck with shedding your surf gear Matt. Kinda bummed about it, but I understand. You're still making music & that's what matters. Otto & The Ottomans |

I have one of the first Texotica Reverb units and I haven't decided to sell. The Ottomans' Facebook had a bunch of our stuff as well as Reverb Nation. https://www.reverbnation.com/ottoandtheottomans?profile_view_source=header_icon_nav There are videos of me playing the Jaguar and the Bass VI thru the Showman here: https://www.facebook.com/OttoandtheOttomans/videos —Matt "tha Kat" Lentz |

I did a trade with a guy a few years back because he kept bugging me about the amp.
