Members Josh33 Posted February 25, 2012 Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 Kinda been wanting a new amp for gigging lately. Ideally it would be a 2x10 or 2x12 combo around 20 watts. And this popped up on craigslist. Anyone know anything about them? Are they even worth it? Seems like it meets my criteria but i have no clue on how they sound or their quality. how much would you say these go for? Erksin you know about old gibsons right?

Members erksin Posted February 25, 2012 Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 Yeah - it's a '65, 2-6L6s, looks to be the 2-10" model and not the 1-15" from the cab shape. If it's 2-10s, they should be decent CTSs in there - 15" should be a JBL D-130 which would be a score. No frills like trem or reverb which is a little sad because I think the trem and reverb on the Crestline series is about the best on any amp line ever, but it's a really good sounding amp regardless. That one looks really clean too. How much is the guy asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Josh33 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 The guy said it is the 2-10 model with a cover and everything. The other pictures dont really show the speakers well but it seems pretty clean. Hes asking 650$.. i have no idea if that is good or not. whatcha think? Wish it had that sexy trem, but its not really a deal breaker for me. Does it compare to any other more common amps or is it a league of its own?

I think $650 for an amp in that condition is pretty fricking incredible - they're rare too, less than 200 were made. Hard to say if they compare to anything else more readily available. Warmer than say a Fender Vibrolux with greater headroom overall. The rear panels on these things are huge so it behaves almost like a closed-back cab - really moves some air and has decent punch to it. If it has original speakers and tubes you're gonna score an amp that I think is worth at least $1000. Even if it has some issues due to long periods of storage, it wouldn't take much to have it running like new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Josh33 Posted February 25, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2012 Mmmm that sounds tasty! a warmer vibrolux with more headroom is perfect for what i need right now.
