SOLD!!
This Gomez Surfer Amp was once owned and played By Eddie Bertrand of Eddie and The Showmen and The Belairs. I bought it from Craig Skelly about 3 years ago, who purchased it from Eddies Estate through Steve Soest, who liquidated Eddies estate after he died. Eddie used this amp, along with a Gomez El-Sonido exclusively when he made his comeback to surf.
The amp is in very good condition - it's labeled #18 inside, out of the 40 Surfer heads that were built in total. There are a few scuffs, but nothing major. I happen to know Eddie loved and played this amp a lot, and he mentioned how this amp sounded exactly like his amps from the 60's.
The 2x15" cabinet is loaded with Weber Neo-Mag speakers, so it's lighter than a JBL D-130F equipped cabinet, but sounds very similar.
It comes with the original covers, along with a letter from Craig Skelly verifying it's origins.
I also have a foot switch for the tremolo I will include.
I'm asking $2300 shipped in the US. I'll pack it well, I've shipped several cabinets this size in the past without a problem.
I'd love for this amp to stay in the family!
