I bought this perfect surf amp last year and now need the money for taxes. No issues and the near-pristine cosmetic condition are astounding. I bought a custom cover to protect the cab and the head already had one, in matching soft Blonde vinyl (head cover is slightly loose-fitting)
Local pickup and near delivery in Los Angeles. PM me.

Should I sell it on crazylist? I'd rather offer it to players who appreciate it.

I thought it had uploaded but I see it hadn't made the way up the narrow pipe from my computer. I can post more closeups if you like.

THAT right there is the EXACT amp used by the Atlantics to record all their big hits, Bombora, The Crusher, as well as their first two albums from 1963!!


Good luck, JObeast! (Though, sorry to hear you have to sell it. )

Josh and Ivo,
I appreciate your condolences. But I've bought and sold so many fine amps that the pain is not acute. It chagrins me more that I usually have to sell big ticket vintage gear to pay taxes, which are always due in four figures. I also have to sell my 1979 Vespa P200 which I put hundreds of hours into restoring and got cherried only to never ride it as driving LA has scared the shites out of me on a daily basis.
Selling vintage amps, even grail amps like this Bandmaster, is like killing people (like on TWD). The first time is traumatic, but each successive kill is less so until it's normal. By then you're a psychopathic cold killa amp dealer.
