Members HeartfeltDawn Posted November 28, 2007 Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 How could anyone let this happen to such a nice and rare amp? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-VINTAGE-1964-VOX-AC30-6-TOP-BOOST-RELIC-OR-RESTORE_W0QQitemZ190179053988QQihZ009QQcategoryZ10171QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a shame though. There's no reason for an amp to be neglected like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ninjaaron Posted November 28, 2007 Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 It's beautiful like that. Not that I would ever do that to a piece of equipment on purpose, but I love the look, so long as the sound is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mel Cooley Posted November 28, 2007 Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 Looks appropriately gigged to death. With the wrecked grill cloth it looks like one of the ones Jeff Beck beat up in the Yardbirds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HeartfeltDawn Posted November 28, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 There's wear and tear and then there's looking pretty shagged. If he last got it serviced eight or nine years ago, I can't believe the tech in question wouldn't have tidied up the chassis a bit. Still, I'm bidding for it.

Members garyfanclub Posted November 28, 2007 Members Share Posted November 28, 2007 ...jesus! I'm surprised that thing hasn't caught fire a few times, otherwise this amp looks like Rodney King on a bad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Frankyblues Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yep, it's as sad as seing the wreck of '66 Shelby GT-350. But it's o.k. if this amp rocked so many people for over 40 years. You know, some guys pay big bucks for factory tortured custom shop Fender guitars. Personally, I love music instruments and take good care of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mirrorball Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 Reminds me of a friend's JC-120, which survived a house fire. Actually the Vox looks more f'd up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bikehorn Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 That's sad. But I might even play one like that on stage. The most beat up dead looking amp making the most mind bending sounds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
