Members cacheek Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 Been looking for one and can get a minty older model (without recessed handles) for 890 shipped. Never gigged. Good deal, bad deal, or meh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rushtallica Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 IMO it depends on availability -- and whether it has the footswitch or not. Factor in $100 or possibly more for the footswitch if it's not included. I got mine (very good shape older model) for about $550 on ebay a year or so ago, though I know that was definitely an awesome and lucky deal, and I don't think anyone else was watching the auction. About 4-5 years ago when a few were going for $800 prior to shipping that seemed like a really good deal. It may be worth checking on ebay to see if any footswitches are available and if GC's used site still has any or if any new ones have been added for a good price.

Members cacheek Posted January 23, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yep, does have foot switch. Do you know when the recessed handles were put in them? Shipping from Washington state to South Carolina if I bought it. GC has no more yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good that it comes with the f/s. That definitely makes the deal better, and I wish I had one for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 If it's got the footswitch, it's definitely worth it. Great amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Valtiel Posted January 23, 2012 Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 Super awesome amps, $890 isn't exactly a steal but its not a raw deal either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cacheek Posted January 23, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 23, 2012 Thanks for the advice guys. Guess I'm going to try to pull the trigger on it. Hopefully the guy will go with his original offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hcprimerib Posted January 24, 2012 Members Share Posted January 24, 2012 well, it's not a good deal. unless you badly need one. supply and demand I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cacheek Posted January 24, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 24, 2012 Eh, I was going to buy one from someone on HC, but I didn't have the money in hand until 2 days after it was sold. Hence, option two. I think this one is a 2010 or 2011 model, never gigged, smoke-free environoment, super-low hours. So, as long as the guy doesn't rip me off (praying he won't), I think it's a decent price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members O'Rourke Posted January 24, 2012 Members Share Posted January 24, 2012 Seems pretty steep. I got my old one for 500 shipped on Rig Talk, you can find them in the 500-600 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lenster Posted January 25, 2012 Members Share Posted January 25, 2012 Well i'd say go for it, u could probably get one cheaper if u waited, but then u may be competing at auction so u may miss out. Absolutely a killer amp, extremely versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
