Allright, I guess that answers that question.


Next question is how much is one of these in near perfect shape worth?

 

 

Silverface or Blackface? Champ or Vibro Champ?

 

Oh, and they do like the good old Tubescreamer.

and that was before pedals were pedals!

i played my bro-in-law's SF all last summer ('05) with all sorts of pedal and it was :love:
i actually bought a Daddy-O because his sounded so awesome thru the Vibrochamp.
didn't sound as good thru my amp.

What speaker is in that thing? And it looks like there is a hole drilled in the upper back panel - WTF?

Depending on the year (if you can get the codes off the trannies that would be great), I'd only go as high as $300...

Speaker is a replacement 8" Weber Ferromax

The guy who I have been talking to said this about the hole in the back:

"A previous owner had installed a line out jack through the back of the upper panel, which was removed before I got the amp. It did leave a hole about 1/4" diameter."

I am talking to him about trading this for it:

What do you think? Make the deal?

Find out how old it is first - anything after 1974 is gonna come with a plywood cabinet instead of solid pine (affects the resale somewhat).

Have you played it? If you dig it and don't use the guitar then go for it I guess. Personally, it seems like it's been hacked on somewhat - I'd be cautious unless you can have a tech take a look at it first.

I'd put it at $250 as is - no more than $300 for sure, if the guitar is worth more than that he'll be getting a deal IMO...

Haven't played it because it's an internet deal. It is a 69 Champ though. I really don't play the 335 much, but just wanted to make sure I was getting a decent deal.

just keep in mind that silverface champs in good condition aren't all that hard to come by. so if you're unsure about this deal you can find another amp pretty easily.

It IS a '69 - I didn't enlarge the pics the first time I looked at them - missed the aluminum trim around the grill cloth... :freak:

It's tough to say without you being able to see it in person but I guess I'd go for it. It'll only go up in value - the Epi won't.

There is $25 worth of Armorall on that thing. :D Because I haven't heard it or know the year; by the looks of it he would be getting the better end of the deal. But if it's a guitar you don't mind parting with... Well it's your decision. Not a horrible trade either way, just slightly lopsided in his favor. But most trades are at least slightly lopsided.
